Feeling Giddy!

Mr. J & I is celebrating our 64th monthsary as a couple today. :) It's our 2nd to the last monthsary before we get hitched. I'm just feeling the love, now more than ever. Mr. J is now more involved in the wedding preparations. Partly because I threw a tantrum the other day, hahaha!

We saw our wedding bands yesterday, though we did not get to bring it home yet. We asked Love & Co to engrave a love message. We will get it on July 29, can't wait!

And my sister Mabel, got our new york skyline invites yesterday! We love it, it's so unique! Expect to get your invites sooner than you say, New York! :)

Dreaming of Louboutin

I can't believe how fast time flies! Now, it's almost 1 month to go for us! Can you spell, P-A-N-I-C? Hehehe!

A quick update, tomorrow my sister will be collecting our final invites in behalf of us, because as you may already know we are here in Singapore. We will also be collecting our wedding rings at Love & Co Singapore tomorrow! Yey!

For the past few days, I've been contemplating about my wedding shoes. Why only now? Some of you might ask. Hehehe I've just been pre-occupied by other wedding details. I'm not exactly what you may call a shoe person, I'm more of a bag person. :)

After some research, I decided I want the glittery peep toe style for my wedding shoes. What could be better, than a Christian Louboutin shoes?

So gorgeous! I wish I can afford it! :)

Wedding Rings : Love & Co

We purchased our wedding rings three weeks ago from Love & Co. The same store where Mr. J bought the engagement ring. See the story of "the proposal" here. :)

Sis Jhed from w@w advised me to buy our wedding rings earlier because it will take 2-3 months to manufacture customized rings. We took advantage of the long holidays in Singapore and started looking for prospective rings, during our break.

We started at Love & Co orchard branch, and there it was. After browsing thru a number of rings, we finally found it! Pictures to follow. Or maybe not, will just make it a surprise. hehe! We love it even though we went over the budget!!! :)

  Did I miss any detail? Wedding preparations is getting crazier by the day, but still so much fun!

I'm officially engaged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forgive the massive exclamation points, I'm just very happy to be wearing this lovely heart-shaped diamond ring on my finger. Mr. JE popped the question over lunch yesterday as we were about to have dessert.

I was expecting that he will propose (officially) on December, but to say that I did not hope for it, would be a lie. You see, we've been planning our wedding for months now. Eversince, we told our families of our plans of getting married next year.

The official proposal happened at Rise, a buffet-style restaurant, located at the lobby of Marina Bay Sands Hotel. We initially planned on having breakfast but I learned that it's only open for hotel guests.

Anyway, we went for lunch and we are seated near the buffet. Because we went there with an empty stomach, I can't wait to eat. Sorry PG (patay gutom) mode! Hahaha.

The unsuspecting me just enjoyed the lunch buffet which includes sushi and sashimi bar, tandoori station, pasta, noodles and many more. I loved the carbonara and the california maki! I was even eyeing for the chocolate fountain even before I finished the main course. And if you know me personally, I just love chocolates!!

When it's Mr. JE's turn for the dessert buffet, it took him a while but I did not suspect anything, since I am still enjoying my food. When he came back, I stood up because I saw they refilled the strawberry beside the chocolate fountain. But he stopped me, and told me to look at his plate.

There it was, the RING!!! I was stunned, I honestly don't know how to react. But without a word, I sat down, and waited for him to say something... It was all a blur, I just wish somebody did capture that moment on video, to see how did I react or what did I say exactly. I just remember him saying the magic word, "Will you marry me?" Hehehe!

I did not even remember saying yes to him. The next thing I knew, the RING (pictures to follow) was already on my ring finger, and I'm in LOVE (& Co) with it!

P.S. He told me, that the first word that came out of my mouth when I saw the ring was... "Kukunin ko na ba ito?" Hahahaha! How anti-climactic of me! I just made him re-enact the moment a few minutes after, when we were finished with the buffet and already outside the hotel, in full view of the Singapore CBD.

Finally, I said, "A thousand times, YES YES YES!" It's so surreal.
