We only got to finalize our entourage last night, after getting confirmation from the people who we want by our side on our special day. For me, it was easy. Even before being proposed to, i already knew who i would be having as my bridesmaids. From the time we became really close friends in high school, my girls have always stood by my side and have supported me in every decision (stupid or not) and pointless drama, despite being scattered in different parts of the world.

After months of careful deliberation, negative reactions here and there, we eventually settled with our final venue for our wedding reception.

So one night, we got bored, and did our own “Save the Date” shoot using a couple of stuff we purchased from Typo! 🙂 We fought that night as usual, on the props, setup, and on the picture-taking. *hehe* We had a few attempts only since it was already late, it took time to travel from pressing the timer button to posing, and we were tired. So here’s the outcome of our first DIY shoot for the wedding. 🙂
