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) πŸ™‚
But she’s not a dumb blonde,Β 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 πŸ™‚

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! πŸ™‚ 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” πŸ™‚
