Our Little Bride: Angel Zafirah Popanes
Our little baby here in Singapore. This adorable 3-year old girl loves barney and hello kitty. If you won't find her at the living room watching disney channel, you can locate her hanging around at either her mommy and daddy's room or in my room.At 2 she has already memorized the capital of different countries, has already familiarized herself with colors, shapes and numbers (her forte is addition), and oh, she can complete puzzle pieces too (yes..serious!)! Some of her favorite sentences are: 'Oh dear!' (When she can't solve something), 'What's so funny?' (whenever the adults laugh during conversations, she can't understand Tagalog) 'I have a big problem' (at 3, she's already problematic..hahaha! kidding! She tells this whenever she needs time to think for some alibis... You know, kids hate to sleep at noon :p). You'll definitely love her! A lot! ^_^
Our Little Groom: Godwin Balagbagan
He's the youngest son of my dear uncle and aunt, tito Leo and tita Josie. I used to baby sit him whenever they pay visit to us in our province or vice versa. He's quite shy and I seldom hear him talk. At his young age, you could discern that this cute angel has a soft spot for animals, especially for dogs. I looooove Godwin's eyes, he has long and curly lashes. And I love his name too!
My Maid of Honor: Hazel Mae Eugenio
Hazel is currently working as a nurse in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. She's my bestfriend since high school. Our friendship has been tested by time already. My family and relatives loves her sooo much. She's bubbly (there's never a dull moment whenever she's around) and down to earth despite of her being so smart, articulate and popular (everybody in school and other school knows her). She has always been there for me eversince and of course I am the same. I soooo love her to bits!
Jay's Best Man: Alvin Aberin
Vinchi has a great influence to Jay on food choices. He is Jay's colleague in his previous company (Sykes). Whenever these guys are bored they would go on a movie date. Hahaha! He's my facebook friend and I already met him twice. Though he always has catchy and intriguing facebook statuses, I find him silent in person.
My Bridesmaids:
Sheryl Ann Meneses
Ae-ae is our (Jena and Me) favorite cousin. When I studied college in Bulacan we shared the same room, and we shared secrets too! This girl has a good taste for clothes so whenever I go shopping, she's always with me. Haha! She also knows how much I love Jay, aside from me always talking about him when we are together, I also had Jay's photo hanged in our room. Tee hee! ^ ^ She's my listener and ever dependable little sister. Love her!
Pauleen De Guzman
Pau is Jay's niece. I met her during ate Kaye's wedding. The first time I saw her I was already struck by her beauty. She's still a first year high school student yet she already looks so 'dalaga'. Just wondrin' how will ate Marie, her mom, will manage those many guys who'll show interest of wooing her in the future. Hehe. I'm excited to see her at my side on our big day. :)
Romedelle Deximo
Rome is not a typical type of a woman. In fact she's one of the boys. She's our batch mate in Accenture. We used to chat in yahoo messenger but she's closer to Jay (they call each other 'bro' LOL). Asking Jay how would he describe her, he will always answer 'she's a rocker'. Why not, she's a big fan of Paramore, All Americans Reject and the like.=)
Jay's Groomsmen
Curt Abis
I never met Curt in person but I always hear about him from Jay. They used to be classmates in high school and team mates in Red Alert and Starcraft games which started their friendship. According to Jay, Curt currently oversees their family business in Palawan.
Ferdinand Vincent Opinion
This richie rich kid is also our batchmate in Accenture. I'm one of his angels (Me, Mona and Mau) and we call him our boss. Haha! He loves (super!) chocolates and ice creams. You would usually see us hanging out at starbucks, timezone or pizza hut. He also used to be my lunch buddy when we were still on the same project. But I have to warn you, don't approach this man for an advise - the first (and last) time I came to him he just told me 'bahala ka, buhay mo yan e'..haha!
Cristian Balagbagan
He's my brother :-) He's currently a fourth year engineering student and he'll be graduating next year. Yey yayaman na ko! Hahaha! I'm a proud ate, like me he's also smart (hahaha! walang kokontra!) - he was a class valedictorian in elementary and he graduated with honors in high school and unlike other boys this guy doesn't give us any headache.Whenever he comes home he would just stay within our compound and play with our younger teenage cousins. Ei, he's also a good cook!
Our Secondary Sponsors
Candle: John Ryan Ramos and Maureen Jane Lugtu
Mau is also our batchmate and she's my siz! She's been one of the witnesses of our love story. It was just amazing because our friendship started when I told her that Jay is my crush in our batch. Since then she has been my confidante. She saw me smiled and giggled because of Jay, and of course if there would be a person who has counted how many tears have I cried it would definitely be her. I chose her as a candle sponsor because like what it symbolizes, she's been my light and my guide in my quest for love. I love her to pieces!
Veil: Rommel Boribor and Mona Belle Carag
One word to describe this living creature: CRAZY!
Mona is also our batchmate and friend. She became close to Jay during our first days in accenture and later on she became one of my treasures too. We just love to laugh - loud enough which draws to catching other people's attention. Like Mau, I can also tell everything to her without worrying on how she will judge me. She has a laid back personality which you will instantly notice even at first meeting. She's currently working here in Singapore and we meet once in a while. No matter what, I know she'll always be there - and she'll still be crazy.

| Rommel is the one with a rosary |
Rommel is also my bestfriend and my college buddy. We call each other 'bud'. He was my classmate since first year college and we belonged to the same group of friends. I used to make his assignments and he used to train me in counterstrike. Hahaha! And aside from that he was also the president of my fans club during intramurals (I used to be a chess varsity). This guy is one rare kind and if not for him I would not have graduated from college. He was the one who completed all of my designs when I became seriously ill few weeks before our graduation. He's a blessing and i'll forever be grateful.
Cord: Catherine Cruz and Robin Datu
Tintin was the second person I met in college and we instantly became friends. We were always together during college days and she has spoiled me with my ravings for tweety bird. She would often surprise me by giving me a letter usually written in card (mind you, she has a VERY nice hand writing - and I'm envious!!). We also had been into rough roads but I guess those had just made our friendship even sweeter. I am confident that wherever God may lead us, I'll always be her little sister.
Robin is my friend since college but I think we became more close after graduation. I used to find him sooo mysterious (oh well, until now) maybe because he's a silent type of guy and it is unusual to see a quiet guy in our group (yes people, all of my guy friends in college are earsplitting!). He's also smart (ehem!) and he always laughs whenever Mara and I ridicule him, which is weird. Hahaha! He loves to collect perfumes and starbucks tumbler. Hmm what else? Ahh! I know some of his secrets! Hehehe! Whatever happens I know he's one of my friends who'll stand by me.
Our Flower Girls
Dorothy Ann Gabatin
This lovely girl is mommy Mercy and Daddy Joven's youngest child. She's my little brother's buddy. She loves to take care of animals, especially cats. When I went to their house last christmas I never attempted to enter her room because there were 3 kittens inside (I'm scared of baby cats!) which she feeds with milk in a bottle. Sweet!
Louise Yhrenea Agustin
Lyca is my bestfriend, Marrah and my good friend, Alfred's daughter. This baby is soooo charming! It soothes me by just merely looking at her photos and watching her videos in facebook. Tintin and I loves to stare at her pictures. It gives us a calming feeling. Hehehe! By the way she's our inaanak. It will be Lyca's first time to walk in aisles and I'm so excited to see her wearing a head dress and a teeny-weeny gown. Let's find out if she'll walk or be carried by her mom. Surprise us baby! :p
Daena De Guzman
This sweet little girl is Jay's niece. According to Jay, Daena is shy type but sweet and I agree to that, during our first meeting she gave me a kiss. ^_^ She's by the way the youngest child of ate Marie, Jay's cousin. And like her ate Pau, she's also beautiful.
Our Ring Bearer: Carl Justine
CJ is my baby brother. He's also clever like her ate (hahaha! wala ulit kokontra site ko to! ^_^) He was first honor in grade 1 and 2 and he's currently top one in his class (o, ha? :-P). He has a noticeable inclination in math due to his frequent participation in Math quiz bees. I love him for being so sweet, he would kiss me when I wake up in the morning whenever I come home. He'll be our ring bearer because I have faith that he will not lose the rings. ^_^
Our Bible Bearer: Milson Evangelista
Milson is my tita Mila's unico hijo. I actually admire this kid's maturity. He's just 9 years old yet he already acts as binata. Hehehe. He is also bright, I have learned that he is top one in his class. He loves color orange, which actually blends his fair skin.
Our Coin Bearer: Ryan Sorrera

| Ryan is the kid at the center |
Ryan is the only child of Jay's cousin from Laguna. According to Jay he's shy and quiet little boy. I never had any interaction with him, but I'm excited to meet him at my wedding. ^_^
