Four Months to go!

Exactly four months from now, our lives will be changed forever. We will be opening not just a new page but a new chapter in our lives. Judith and I have both celebrated our last birthdays as single people and last June 15, 2011 (as heartbreaking as it was because our beloved team - the Vancouver Canucks lost the Stanley Cup Finals) we celebrated our final "Boyfriend-Girlfriend" anniversary.
As for the wedding, we are currently working on a few details. The stress has not gone high yet and hopefully we can keep it at a minimum. We still have to work on things like dj, cakes and the likes.
But on the bright side, we have just finish shooting our engagement photo courtesy of Wayne Lam. And boy was it fun. Judith started with some hair and make-up from an upcoming make-up artist named Starry. And Starry did a very good job. Her make-up was not too heavy. Just enough to accentuate Judith`s beauty. Wayne started to take documentary photos as well. nd for our shooting location, Wayne chose Coal Harbour as our location and man was it a good choice. Days prior, the weather was quite gloomy but thank God, He heard our prayer as the day of the shooting the sun was smiling brightly. Though we our feet was tired but it was all worth it. We will try to post some photos next time.

The Official Date!

   It is with much pleasure and joy to announce that we now have an official date for our wedding. We have been praying and discussing as when our wedding date will be for months. And we thank God for we have finally arrived at a perfect date. The Official date of our wedding is **drum roll** is October 21, 2011. It is going to be on a Friday at 4 pm sharp as in sharper than a samurai sword. Picture, golden brown leaves falling of a Birch tree as the majestic snow-covered coastal mountains serve as our backdrop. (Which coincides with the motif that Jags has prepared). Cool autumn breeze caressing Jags' long flowing hair as she walks down the long walkway towards the terrace. Oh man, I can't wait... Wahooooo!!!

A Shout Out!

    For all those who are contemplating, planning or wanting to get married in the Philippines and to be more specific, in Cebu, we found a very good wedding planner. Not that we have had any experience with their services but just because they were accommodating and they replied promptly to our emails. So we thought they deserve a shout out.

Hello World!

   After accidentally stumbling into this website, Jags and I decided to have our own wedding blog. This would be a great tool to share our emotions and thoughts on our wedding (stress-reliever anyone?!) Hence, the title Jigs2 and Jags Wedding Adventure because we know for sure that we are in for an adventure of a life time.
   But first things first, though we may have chosen Philippines as our wedding location, we ended up deciding to have our wedding here in Canada. It would have been great to get married in the Philippines but (since Jags is an accountant) it would not make economical sense to have our wedding there. After careful thoughts and major prayers,Vancouver, Canada was the logical choice. And with that, we need to move our date, It won't be April 16, 2011 as was announced. As of this moment, we are still in "deliberation" as to what the final date would be.
   Hey at the very least, we are getting our hands and feet wet on planning our own wedding. Stressful? Yes! Exciting?! Definitely! We wouldn't have it any other way!
