Backstory on Cristine and Jay(so you won’t wonder why they all had the British accent!):
It was in a cotillion of their friend that they met. Jay knew from the very first day that Cristine is the one. They both grew up in London, but they decided to tie the knot in Pampanga for the relatives to witness their wedding day.
I hate to admit this, but this was another stranger’s wedding that I cried my heart out. I only knew Cristine and Jay during the client meeting but during the wedding itself, it felt like I was part of the whole thing. Maybe it’s because I really felt the sincerity of their happiness on their wedding day.
The only person you can choose to be part of your life forever is the person you’re going to marry. Jay decided to marry Cristine.
While everyone was staring at how beautiful Cristine was, I was there looking at Jay’s reaction. Being a witness, I can tell you that it was my first time to see a groom walking towards the bride while she’s almost near the altar because maybe he couldn’t wait! I think the groom cried more than the bride did, of course it was a good cry.
To everyone who believes in love, do watch the SDE!

Who wouldn’t look forward to their own wedding day if it’s going to happen at Thunderbird, La Union.
One of the most beautiful resorts in La Union, Thunderbird exhausts the breath of the attendees. Structures, painted in its whitewashed walls and hints of sky-blue dome, just near the beach area providing a Santorini experience to everyone.
For Tep, maybe the venue is just a plus because the real deal is going to be his very own bride, Valen.
As our shooters entered the bride’s room, they were witnesses of Tep’s simple acts of love in forms of notes posted in the bride’s mirror. Truly, simple words show deep expressions of love.
Romance filled the air as they exchanged vows against the backdrop of a stunning purple sunset.
See the SDE and fill your curiosity on Tep’s love notes to Valen!

Someone in a film once said, “If you find a woman who’s too good for you, marry her…” These important words were what sealed the deal between newlywed couple, Albert and Aubrey as they tied the knot a couple of weeks ago. The backdrop of this momentous milestone was set in the beautifully picturesque Caleruega Chapel in Nasugbu, Batangas. Fun, candid and completely in love, the couple even managed to sway the weather to their advantage by dancing a “sun dance” to keep the rain away.
Just like every chef’s specialty, every couple gives every wedding their own unique flavor.
For Patty and Park, those flavors include not just saying words such as “You are My Life” and “True love” - after all, words can be easily spoken and easily forgotten as well, right? But the couple took these words to a whole new level by shaping them from metal, to be as tangible as the love in the air during the whole wedding.
We at the For You Are Mine team are always too happy to capture new things in people’s weddings, and this one never failed us one bit. Check out the SDE, and see what I mean!

There’s always something that adds up to the nostalgic feel when the woods are in place for romance. Thanks to a bit of rain, the fog cleared out later on for Leslie and Jeff.
Their daughter was wandering about the place when we arrived, stealing the show from her soon-to-be-wed mom and dad early in the morning. Quite a charm to have around while keeping warm from the drizzles in the midst of all the preparation rush!

For five years they played a cat-and-mouse game with each other. From the first time they met in college, Boy was very intent on pursuing Girl, while she, though enjoying all his attentions, preferred mean guys oozing with machismo and athleticism. Boy was no match for her type; he was nice and goody, but that was it.
The first time Boy held Girl’s hand during a church service, Boy was totally nervous, and Girl felt a twinge of guilt for every mean thing she ever did to him. Yet Girl continued her mad streak; she told him “NO” again and again, to no avail, because Boy always stayed. In the end she resorted to hiding from him; yet despite all this, Boy, though always on the verge of giving up, never stopped loving Girl.
Then Girl graduated, and she never saw Boy again – or so she thought. More than a year later, in the same church where Boy and Girl first held hands, Girl was completing the novena to Saint Jude, Patron of Hopeless Cases, to ask for healing and someone who can nurse her back to shape. She had just come a recent breakup with a guy who was just her type, and she was badly broken.
On the last day of the novena, her prayers were answered. Boy was in the same church praying for a successful board exam result – Boy actually returned in the church from time to time hoping he’d catch a glimpse of Girl – and, just like in the movies, he finally got his wish.
They decided to continue together, and of course it wasn’t easy. Still, Boy always tried to improve the situation by offering Girl everything he could. Until that day came that despite all their differences, Girl slowly learned to appreciate Boy and love him back.
Finally, after all the years of chasing, Boy was finally triumphant, and Girl felt equally lucky. They will be married in the early morning of November 12, 2011 in Malate Church. For their amazing story, a love which is even more wonderful and surprising than your traditional romantic movies, the For You Are Mine Team warmly congratulates couple Joan and Bobbie!
