A Charmeng Life: Our Charmeng Wedding: Strike a Pose

And after we did our first look, it was onto our photo session with our bridal party. It’s funny how we’re all pretty much the same height.

I absolutely loved the BMs dresses. It’s hard to tell in the picture (which was kind of the point), but the MOHs (the two girls on each side of me) have different dresses from the MOH. They also have slightly different bouquets. I wanted the MOHs to have something slightly different from the BMs, but not noticeably different, and I think I acheived it with their look. I measured some of the girls myself, and when their dresses came in, they were all 2 sizes too big. I was so sad. Luckily, we had an awesome seamstress that was able to fix their dresses and you can’t even tell that their dresses were so huge on them.

My girls are so crazy. Every time our photographer said to laugh, they would go into this hysteria. It was pretty hard to control yourself.

You can see my sister/MOH’s sash in this picture. They were pretty long sashes that we tied into an obi knot. No pictures of the back though.

When they said “ok John, time for a picture with you and the girls,” this is what he did. I have a silly husband, right?

I had an issue with the top of my dress cutting into my body, but I didn’t notice until after the wedding. I have lots of…soft tissue that likes to give me muffintops everywhere possible. Fun!

I thought this picture was funny because it looks like John is hugging his cousin, but it’s really the Best Man’s hand. John doesn’t like to wear watches.

Kind of looks like an awkward photo. No one really looks ready for it except for John.

But they sure are good at goofy pictures.

Isn’t this such a GQ picture of John’s little cousin. I had to throw this in here because 1) it’s totally adorable, and 2) he cut out of the church as soon as it was over, so he wasn’t in the kiddies picture. John’s side of the family isn’t used to church weddings.

And now the older GQs

Dapper young fellows aren’t they. I’m older than every single one of them. My “little” brother is the far right.

Another awkward photo…for me.

We had to walk while kiss while everyone was suppose to laugh. Not too shabby. My sister (next to John) went a little overboard. Hahaha…

And our ONE parasol picture. I paid a total of $8 off of knottie myfiancesbrave, and got this picture. I think it was money well spent. We look really cute.

And totally unplanned, my parents came to the park where we were taking pictures. Ok, well, the park was across the street of the hotel, so they saw us and came over. Although I was sad that I had no “reveal” to my parents–because I know my dad would’ve cried–it wouldn’t have worked. My parents (read: my mom) aren’t the best at keeping track of time. She has horrible time management, like most Filipinos! Anyway, we snagged a few pictures with my parents.
