H and I got married on the crisp, clear morning of May 24, 2003. We were wed at the Sta. Rita Church in Philam Homes. We chose this church primarily because it was the same church where my parents got married. 
Beautiful sentimental value! And since both my parents walked me down the aisle, it was even more special.
We also liked that the church was also located in a nice and quiet neighorhood. It was private and cozy. Our reception followed at the Social Hall right beside the church. It was literally steps away from the ceremony! We enjoyed how we could smile and laugh with the guests as we walked towards the hall all together. The Social Hall had big windows that let the morning light greet the guests upon entering.
And this is where my wedding dress ended up! The top part of my closet in my parents’ home.
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 wedding looks great and you and your hubs look good together.
I love the simplicity of your gown, it was similar to mine, off the shoulder din.
Its nice to know your story. Looking back in your photos must have brought good memories back to you. Thanks for sharing.
