True love is not a strong, fiery, impetuous passion. It is, on the contrary, an element calm and deep. It looks beyond mere externals, and is attracted by qualities alone. It is wise and discriminating, and its devotion is real and abiding.
--Ellen G. White--
The wedding of Romeo and Kharen was one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever witnessed. Their wedding was really surreal with their theme of choice - modern rustic wedding theme - simple, serene, no fuss. The couple was also one of the kindest I have ever worked with. They were simply very easy to work with. They knew what they wanted from the start and drafted their wedding plans very well. They were both engineers so they knew how to do about designs. They were also somewhat sure that the guest list would be rather short. The groom's family traveled all the way from Butuan city to Davao City to witness their union.
The wedding ceremony was set last July 28, 2017, Friday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and was held at St. Michael Chapel, Eden Toril, Davao City. Wedding reception followed thereafter at Fernwood Clubhouse, Eden Toril, Davao City.
Wedding Preparations
Barangay Eden Toril Davao City is a renowned wedding destination for nature lover engaged couples. Many weddings have transpired in this place because of its cool climate, foresty ambiance and romantic landscapes.
We held the wedding preparations of Romeo and Kharen at Loleng's Mountain Resort. This was the most feasible room accommodations at that time.
The Wedding Invitations
The wedding invitation was designed by the groom along with the wedding message cards that served as guest book instead of the traditional guest book. They sought for the help of the commercial printing press to have their design printed on special paper.

The BIG Wedding Moment
The wedding moment that every groom and bride have been preparing for many months has finally come. The wedding ceremony is probably the most nerve wracking moment in the history of weddings. There are no repeat, no retake, no redo. This is the moment of all the moments in the entire wedding planning that should be perfect at one passing.

After the wedding ceremony, every one headed to Fernwood Clubhouse, Eden Toril, just a few meters away from the chapel where they wed. There was merriment and good cheer all throughout the night. One of the bridesmaids, Ms. Roby Pagong, volunteered to be the program emcee and she did exceptionally well delivering the program. The guests enjoyed the very cold weather of the place and the over all experience of the couple and their guests have been positive.

The groom was also very pleased with the experience of their beautiful wedding. I especially loved what he wrote in his comments to our Facebook page:
And more importantly, the bride was very happy as well. She left me the sweetest message on my wall:
There was only one goal in my mind that I wanted to achieve for their wedding - to make the bride and groom happy! I must say GOAL MET! The guests were all praises and so were they.
I offer the success of this exceptional wedding EVENT to God Almighty! Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam et Dei Genetricis Honorem!
