My dear friend Angie got married last Friday the 13th. It boggled me at first, but then, that’s Angie’s playful personality shining through. 😀 We’ve been friends since 1994, so that makes for quite a number of years of good friendship. The girl with the Peter-Pan-curiosity and pixie smile made for a beautiful bride. Congratulations to Jan and Anj!
The Manila chapter of our college barkada was complete. Yey! We pretty much joked and laughed throughout the reception. Yeah, we had a fun table.
I found it pleasantly weird that we were talking about household gadgets for a good half hour or so. Memories of talking about Philosophy oral exams and McDo study sessions filled my head. Now we were talking about the 9-Minute Marinator and other home TV shopping buys. Haha. 😀 I want a 9-minute Marinator because of the gushing some of my friends did. 😉
Now check out this wedding cake:
Cute isn’t it? 
*cues Under the Sea from Little Mermaid*
Now do you know the tradition of pulling out wishes from the wedding cake? Some wedding cakes have little ribbons at its base. On the end of each ribbon is a wish just for you. Guess what I pulled out?
My friends and I cracked up!
Congratulations again Jan and Anj! Hayyyy, the baby is now a lady. Still can’t believe you’re married, Anj.
A great group of friends plus one more! I’m looking forward to our next get-together so we can hear Anj’s stories of newlywed life. Best wishes to Jan and Anj! Brace yourself for one wild and wonderful adventure!
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

The 9MM (as we now call it) is also available at Gourdo’s (apart from home TV shopping) for the same price. We just got one for my father-in-law for Father’s Day.
