Steph

I am so used to brides with curly smiles, blushing, fidgeting, giggling and shrieking with excitement. ;-)

Steph is different. She's obviously in love coz she's getting married but she's just not the usual type. She's like a kid with her best buddy, planning an adventure. :-) She's cool, no nonsense and definitely not mushy. Won't be gushing on the prom night, but will wake up early and excited for a tennis match. She's just not the usual bride.

She gave me a picture of her ideal gown on our first meeting and just bluntly told me that that is what she wants.
No train
Soft
Light
No fuss
"bahala ka na.. basta parang ganyan.."

I love the design, I know I can make it better.
But it was actually more than making the gown.
I want her to be my bride.
She's just different. Pleasantly different :-)

I was extremely pleased when we had our last and final fitting, when finally I've perfected the fit and got the look that I was aiming for. She transformed right before my eyes. She's a bride!! I was soooo excited and asked her if she is, she just shrugged her shoulders, gave me a wide grin, and said - "kakatawa ka, mas excited ka pa yata sa akin eh hehehe :-)" Told her - "bakit ba eh excited ako eh! ang ganda ganda mo!"

I want to see her walk down the aisle!! I want to see her before the door opens! :-D
Will she be as cool as usual? Will she cry?Well she didn't cry. She was smiling all the time. She was relax, cool and just happy. :-)
But guess what she told me a day later, with tounge in cheek - "ei totoo nga yung power of the door, I felt it e! nung nag-open yung door... oo nga .... kala ko iiyak ako eh pero ... ang saya... ang saya talaga... thank you ha...galing galing"

I felt my face light up, I was so happy coz I actually thought my eyes fooled me the day before, because I saw her gush when the door opened, she was smiling awkwardly, just like a girl in love.

uuuuuuy kinikilig?!?!!!!!! hahaha! :-)



Beautiful pictures by Mimi and Karl, as usual ;-)
