My 3rd...as Ninang

I do feel awkward when chosen to be among the principal sponsors. They are actually my third "godcouple" whatever and however you may call it. I stood as one of their principal sponsors last Sunday at Plaza Ibarra. It's actually my first time to meet them so I feel honored that I was chosen. The bride is the daughter of my husband's bike trainor. Such sweet couple. I was short of crying when it was the groom's turn to say his vows. He actually cried and I was touched. For me it only shows his undying love and sweet intentions to the bride. To Jep and Lhet, wishing you unending marital bliss!

A Unique Centerpiece

Being in the wedding industry (a wedding photographer), I have not seen a centerpiece made of ostrich feathers. It's actually unique and beautiful. It's a great idea to suggest this to our clients, I'm sure if ever they would be the first to have this kind of certerpiece. It's a perfect accent for any wedding or special events. Oh before I forget, it comes in different colors, you can choose the color that would go with the motif.

A Token for your Groomsmen

It's pretty hard to find gifts for the groomsmen. But I think this would be a great idea for a groomsmen gift. It would be wonderful too, if they'll be wearing the same cufflinks during the wedding. And aside from that, they get to wear it even after the wedding day. Cuff-daddy.com offers discounts on cufflinks and wholesale orders. Check their website and choose from the wide selection. I'd say their collection is unique and everything you see is really nice and one of a kind.

On Wedding Vows

I've witnessed too may weddings already because of our business, each wedding different from the other. Others opt for a simple one, while the rest go for grand weddings. One of my favorite portions when it comes to our coverages is the wedding rites proper. Normally I find myself shedding a tear especially during the exchange of wedding vows. I just cannot help it, especially if the couple wrote their own wedding vows. I've witnessed several grooms cry as their brides look deep into their eyes while saying their vows.

It's really up to you how you want to go about your wedding vows. But for me, I just find writing your own very romantic. Personalized vows are now commonly used not only in civil ceremonies, but in religious ceremonies as well. If writing your own personalized vow is difficult for you, and this is the reason why you just want to settle for the statutory vows instead, Hitweddings.com is the website for you. Here, they give you ideas and simple steps on how to write your own memorable and original wedding vows, vows that your partners and guests will remember for a long time. Remember this is the time you can show the person you want to spend the rest of your life with how you really feel, with your guests as witnesses too. Start writing your own weddings vows now, after all it's not as difficult as you think it is.

Video Captioning

The hardest part when it comes to editing a video is the captioning portion. I should know, because whenever our editor does his thing, I often sit it out with him, and checking once in a while his work especially if the idea of the whole video is mine. I just want to make sure that the outcome from the storyboard I gave, is what I would see in his output. We would always spend time arguing where and which part of the screen the captions should be placed. Of course I wouldn't want it placed anywhere, sacrificing some of the onscreen graphics, just to be able to come up with the clients' request for a caption. Maybe we can hire the services of vicaps.com for their closed captioning. We can send them the copy of our edited video and just leave the captioning with them. It's totally different when it's being done by people whose forte is captioning. They just know the right places where captioning can be placed without sacrificing online graphics.
