9.10.11 SDE Video

This blog is brought to you by the letter M and the numbers 9...10...11.

Last September 10, Marc & I sealed the deal. It was one amazing and unforgettable day for us. To this day, we still don't know how or where we summoned enough superpowers to organize a wedding in a span of six months.

But we did it!

And we have a same-day-edit video to prove the existence of our wedding.


Of course, an SDE or on-site video does not necessarily have to be a staple in weddings. Marc and I decided to include usual wedding elements (like SDEs) but always with a twist to it. We then briefed Wang Videography on how we wanted the video to go...makulit lang! :)

Speaking of kulit...read on to see more of Mango Red's initial edited shots from our wedding.

Rebellious Idea: Eco-Friendly Weddings

Here in Rebellious Brides, we don't just give our own rebellious inputs, answer your letters, and feature your wedding---we also love and appreciate the fact that readers and friends take the time to suggest on what we should blog about next!  One such rebellious and brilliant idea came from Ivanna Aguiling, a proud and certified CSR Entrepreneur who suggested or "challenged" us rather, to come out with a rebellious idea on Eco-Friendly weddings

Of Weddings, Feasts, and Fantasy

Rebellious Bride Pika and Rebellious Groom Jd
The other day we blogged about Tin Rementilla's blog on attending Pika & Jd's Rebellious Medieval Wedding. And we know that you guys are just as curious to know the full details of their wedding as much as we are! But before that, Rebellious Bride Pika shares with us more photos from their wedding, as shared by their guests and as post-processed by the bride herself.

So many wonderful details in these photos! I particularly love the bride's gown, how the guests got so into the theme and wore wonderful outfits, the amazing details, the uber cool entourage ensemble, and lastly, the overall vibe that really shines throughout the photos where you can clearly see that this wedding was really a loved affair.

So let's start shall we? 

Marc's Rebellious Proposal


Is it just me or do the days go by super fast? Wasn't it just February of this year when Marc proposed? And now we're married! 

Soon we'll be old and wrinkly. But before that, because it's a rainy (stormy) day, I will put on my senti(mental) mode and reminisce. 

Much better than telling you about Marc's proposal, here's a video shown during our wedding day. Are you ready for a flashback? I am.



And just in case you're bored. Here's an excerpt of what I wrote after Marc's proposal. I wrote this to share the love.
 

Rebellious Medieval Wedding

Pika & Jd's Rebellious Medieval Wedding

First of all, I'd like to thank Knox Balbastro of www.musamanila.blogspot.com for giving us the link to this awesome, rebellious wedding. Second of all, I'd like to thank Tin Rementilla of www.tinrementilla.com for being game and so nice to allow us to re-post her blog feature :)

So for the very first time, we are not going to feature a wedding through the eyes of the rebellious bride or the groom--rather, this feature will be based on the perspective of a guest and how she enjoyed the rebellious wedding so much!

"When I heard that Larry's college friends: Pika and Jd, were getting married, I got excited. I got more excited when I was invited. And I went crazy excited when I found out that the theme was medieval. I love weddings! I love Game of Thrones! I love meeting Larry's friends! I said let's go! Hand me my inhaler! So exciting! OMG OMG OMG OMG (Larry may or may not had to use a tranquilizer) OMG OMG OMG.

So one fine Sunday afternoon, Larry, Nalyn and I went off to Tagaytay to attend the most beautiful wedding ever. <3"

A rebellious bride makes her wedding PERSONALIZED. You make your wedding memories based on WHAT YOU WANT, WHAT YOU NEED & WHAT APPEALS TO YOU and not based on the TYPICAL or TRADITIONAL WEDDING or based on what other people dictates. YOUR WEDDING - YOUR RULES! A rebellious bride keeps changing her mind until she gets what she thinks is perfect for her wedding :)A rebellious bride squeezes ALL her creative juices to think what is PERFECT FOR HER REBELLIOUS WEDDING :)

Rebellious Idea: D-I-Y

Manila Bulletin feature
"Everybody wants a unique wedding - even the more conventional ones. But most do not know how to do it right. Most couples think it's more expensive to have thematic or personalized weddings so they choose to go the traditional route instead. But the truth is it all boils down how dirty you want to get -and by dirty, we mean sucking the marrow out of your creativity. The truth is, sometimes a non-cookie cutter wedding can come out the more practical option -especially if you go D-I-Y (Do It Yourself)." -by Tricia Morente, excerpt from today's Manila Bulletin article entitled Wedding Rebels with a Cause
