We got married!

I can’t believe it! I am now officially part of the married women club! Nothing much has changed, to be honest, given that my husband and I have been living like a married couple for a while now. But still, it’s nice to know that we’re now officially bound together for life. 

We decided to get married in the Cayman Islands to avoid the tedious process of applying for a marriage license in the Philippines. We’ve been trying to sort out all the paperwork since January this year, but the back and forth of legal requirements took a lot of effort, time, and money. So, we decided to bypass all the red tape, get married locally, and do a destination wedding ceremony in the Philippines instead. 

It was a last-minute decision, but it was worth it. We scheduled an appointment with Cayman Island’s most popular wedding officers, Simply Weddings, and married at their office on April 24, 2024. I specifically chose this date because of the lucky numbers 2 and 4. 

My close friends Beatriz, Tammy, Lainey, and Alex attended the wedding. It was short but sweet! A few days after the wedding, my work colleagues hosted a surprise bridal shower for me at Popojebs restaurant. It was so much fun, and I didn’t expect such a good turnout! Almost all the ladies in my department attended, and we had a good karaoke night over Filipino foods. 

My bestie Beatriz and I stayed a little longer and sang our hearts out until the night! I am so glad I have amazing friends to celebrate with 💗 Looking forward to our trip to the homeland next week!
