I have written several wedding blogs before but this is the first time that I’ll be featuring a wedding that was held in my home province. This one’s close to my heart because the couple involved reminds me so much of my high school crazy memories given that both of them are my former class/schoolmates.

So to you my dear readers, as proof of my gratitude for hitting that 1 year blogging mark,  let me take you back to Emilson Reguyal and Frances Angeles’ beautiful nuptial held in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija. Of course, feel free to browse some of our very own talented wedding suppliers in the area ❤️

“You were an unexpected surprise, the defining moment. The collision of stars that slammed into me hard and sent my neat little world plummeting into the ocean. I never expected it to be you, you know? But it is you. It’s all you. And now, there’s no looking back.” 

– Beau Taplin (The Defining Moment)

Emil and Frances are no stranger to us (me), especially Emil. He was one of my few male friends during our high school days (Don’t worry, I won’t use this as a chance to bring up his embarrassing experiences back then. lol 😉). On one hand, Frances was already a familiar face since we all go to the same high school.

Let me be frank, ten years ago, we (I) didn’t expect that the two of them would end up as a couple (peace guys 😁). Emil and Frances were not close as you probably think when we were in high school. They have different sets of friends back then. However, it took a turn during our university days. Both of them went to the same school hence the opportunity to be closer was likely.

At that time, I was too preoccupied with other things and was studying away from our province that I was branded as someone who’s “laging huli sa balita”. Imagine my surprise when friends told me that Emil and Frances were dating?  I didn’t see it coming (and I’m sure they didn’t too 😁).

Finally, after 10 stronger years, the couple tied the knot last April 2, 2016 in front of family and friends. It was a heartwarming moment proving to anyone that those unexpected turns in life can turn into something pure and ever-lasting.
