Jill

It wasn't really love at first sight when I first met her.
She's very pretty but she seemed like a rich spoiled bratty girl with a red Ferragamo headband and a gorgeous fiance - the type of girl everyone likes to hate (of envy) :-)
But she's not a dumb blonde, she's a doctor! how can someone be so lucky?!?
She wanted lace... lots and lots of lace and lots of detailing.
I drew a sketch and computed the costs.
Then presented it to them, and just like my usual line, handed the quote with "think about it first po ha"
and then she said - "ah no need, you're my non-negotiable" with the sweetest smile ever.
My heart melted, and from that minute on, I was in love with her :-)

Months passed and I've loved every minute with her. She was continuously losing weight, her determination is really admirable. It was a production nightmare but she was such a delight to work with, that it didn't feel like work at all.
There was even one time that she blurted out after a very fun fitting - "hay naku, I really love it here, this is such a happy place talaga"
to which my staff replied - "ay!! Mcdo ito! pakiantay lang po ang mascot, s'ya po sa final fitting! :-) hahahaha!

Her wedding day is exactly my birthday and I told her from the day she inquired that I can't be there at her wedding, but somehow I couldn't bear the thought of not seeing her at her most precious day. And it was all worth it, she was soooo beautiful and she looked perfect. ... as she so lovingly put it, "blog-worthy" :-)
