The Round 3 Vegas Wedding

One upon a time, a girl grew up to become an inner rebel. In an animal personality test, she was a hybrid of a Panther and a Peacock. Her zodiac signs are both a Sagittarius and a Capricorn. And in Pottermore, her wand is said to be made of sycamore wood & unicorn hair--which means this wand would get easily bored and might burn into ashes if asked to do mundane magic. She was also sorted to Ravenclaw which is home to many eccentric wizards. So can you just imagine how topak (mental) this girl probably is? Unstable. Craves for innovation. Looks quiet in the outside, dorky and a fighter inside. The contradictions can go on. 

At any rate, she grew up like any other girl who wishes to be loved and adored by her prince charming. This prince charming did come true, and just the right prince charming who shares her own vision of someday getting married in Boracay, and immediately they agreed and vowed to shake things up on their wedding day. Not because they needed to be different, but because they wanted their own personalities, rules, and personal traditions to shine through...to celebrate their love in the best way they knew how. 

But just as the girl was kinda complicated, so was the prince charming. He was happy with the first wedding (not so much during the second wedding) but there was something missing. A part of him yearned for home, a part of him wished he could celebrate with his best friends. And so one day they decided to pack their things and have another wedding a thousand miles away. They haven't had a honeymoon anyway. And it was the first year anniversary. Not to mention, that it's the end of the world as we know it, and one of the items on the Bucket List had to be crossed out: It's time for a Vegas Elvis wedding.

Round 3 Vegas Gown

All Photos are by Nelwin Uy unless labeled otherwise
I'd like to dedicate a blog feature just for my Vegas gown. It's a very simple gown but I thought it needed its own "airtime" because it was naturally outshined the first time it was worn. That's right folks, you read it right. This gown has been worn before---and I didn't mind wearing a "recycled" gown for the Vegas wedding.

Rebellious Bunch designer Hindy Weber Tantoco and I had a different "grand Vegas plan" for the third wedding. We were initially dreaming of creating a navy blue & gold outfit for me but when my husband got into an accident last December (which explains why he is sporting a "robotic" shoe as his wedding shoes), I didn't think it was appropriate to indulge on a new gown just for Vegas. So in truth, we had our doubts if this gown will work for Vegas. After all, it was meant to be worn as a beach outfit. But heck, when was I ever afraid to reinvent the rules right? A Rebellious Bride makes it work, whatever circumstance or challenge is thrown her way! :)

The Vegas Elvis Wedding on Green Wedding Shoes


A dream come true! A feature on Green Wedding Shoes :)

A couple of weeks ago, I deleted some of my Vegas blog posts and said I'd get to explain this soon enough. As the co-creator/blogger of Rebellious Brides, I know that I have the responsibility to prioritize the features in our own blog, more so that it is my own wedding. But once in a blue moon, you get the opportunity to be featured in a blog beyond your wildest dreams that you are willing to make sacrifices when they require that they be the first to do the feature.




And this is the case with Green Wedding Shoes. I only have a handful of favorite wedding blogs/sites that I visit regularly (not for anything but I myself get overwhelmed with too much wedding stuff that sometimes, I'd like to find inspiration in non-wedding related sources). When GWS emailed me to confirm that they were going to feature the Vegas wedding, I was so thrilled! I tweeted Rebellious Bunch Nelwin Uy that the wedding was gonna get "the feature of all features" but didn't tell him exactly where the wedding was going to be posted 'till it came out. Waiting for the feature was so suspenseful for me to the point that I was even doubting myself already (sorry I'm just dorky that way hehe). And when Nelwin Uy, Dylan of Vatel, my husband, and I finally saw the feature for the first time, we got uber excited and giddy giddy giddy! I just admire GWS and the creator, Jen so much. I am truly passionate about Green Wedding Shoes--their bigness, their ideas, their look, and their featured couples get me really pumped up creatively that if you noticed, some of our blogs have featured GWS once in awhile.



Rebellious Brides is an advocate of our local talent. That's honestly the only reason why we like getting features in foreign blogs. Because of the feature, other Philippine-based wedding artists have been recognized--including Rebellious Bunch Vatel's {etc} Handmade Goodness and Rebellious Bunch Hindy Weber Tantoco.

How to Get Married in Vegas - Elvis Style

***this blog post was updated to include official photos from Nelwin Uy***

Getting hitched, Elvis Vegas style!
First off all, it was such a pleasant surprise reading that Rebellious Bride Mica made a teaser of our wedding! I hope you guys enjoyed that as much as I did! 

Having finally executed one of our Bucket List items,  I just realized how so many other brides (and grooms) have also wanted to experience the Elvis/Vegas wedding but didn't know how to go about it so they just decided not to go through with it. So in my efforts to encourage other couples to fulfill a dream, here's how you can do it too!

Countdown to Round 3

It's exactly a month before our Honeymoon/First-Year Anniversary/Vegas Wedding trip and I'm having mixed emotions about it...but overall I'm excited. For those of you who are new to the blog, hello I am Rebellious Bride Kai and I am getting married again, third time to do it, and I've only even been married for 11 months as of today. Rebellious Bride Mica calls me a wedding addict. Bow.

How did this happen? Well, for starters, our Boracay Hop wedding, while we love it so much with such a passion, had a few minor "challenges". First challenge which we had to pacify during our Sunshine, Tea-Time, Hats and Pearls Round 2 wedding, was that my parents were simply not happy with our first wedding and don't even consider it as our wedding. So they wanted their own version of our wedding, in Manila so they can invite all their friends and so that they can have a version of our wedding in the Catholic church. Since we already had our dream wedding in Bora, we painfully obliged to go along with this request but with a few of our own conditions. 

The third wedding in Vegas is also addressing the other "challenge" which is 98% of my husband's closest of friends were not in attendance in our first wedding. Again, while our Bora wedding was a dream wedding and that my husband loves it dearly (he swears he watches our wedding video everyday...awww), the fact of the matter is, a part of him felt sad and incomplete knowing that his closest best friends couldn't make it. See, my husband grew up in the States and he hasn't seen his buddies for 11 years. So this Vegas wedding is really all about making the hubby happy. I call this upcoming wedding a "fraternity, all-boys wedding" because I am nervously anticipating what could be like a college boys type of get-together where the bride will probably feel awkward, "one-of-the-boys", and homesick.

Read on to find out a few teaser details about the upcoming Round 3 wedding :)
