My First Morning as Mrs. Dizon!

It’s 8:58 in the morning and I’m writing this from our room in Hyatt. Outside the window I could see Manila Bay’s violent waves---no ships docked, no dragon boat racers practicing, no sun, and not a cloud in sight.

Let the rain fall, i don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
And it's brighter than sunshine

Yesterday was MY perfect day. There were rain showers, but the weather wasn’t as bad as it is today. The rains stopped in time for the wedding, allowing my entourage and myself to walk down the aisle dry. Rains poured after the recessional but that I only saw as a sign of future blessings.

June 21, Summer Solstice, I married the most wonderful man--- my best friend, my crush Mr. Ron Dizon. Last night we partied with family and friends in celebration of the union. We had a blast! All that comprehensive wedding planning, and last minute choreographing of the memorable FIRST DANCE were all worth it. Now we’re still feeling euphoric from the festivities and the thought of life together, forever.

That wedding was TRULY a labor of love. A lot of our suppliers were family and friends---invites, all videos, pre-nup photos, truffles for favors, cake, first dance choreography, bridal car, Hyatt rooms, the billboard and everything else printed. We’ve been blessed with great, talented, and generous connections. For this, I am forever grateful.

Today, I wake up feeling my heart bursting with happiness. It’s my first morning as Mrs. Dizon!

What a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine

Typhoon and all, by far, I still feel this is the best morning of my life.

Love is amazing. God is great.

P.S. Although we still hope the weather gets better because we’re flying out for the honeymoon tonight. Eeeeep! Still have to pack…oh well…

Ron Dizon and Nikki Gloria's DREAM TEAM

Lately, my hyperacidity’s been bad. It’s probably the erratic sleeping hours, and a bit of the anxiety. I’ve been eating well these past few days because I could not afford to shed off too much. Anymore dieting and I’d lose my boobs…and that won’t look too good on the gown.

I have been asked several times if we had a wedding site. Ron and I intended to have one but procrastination kicked in. Alas, we’re 17 days away from the big day and there’s nothing to show.

Thank God for multiply. It’s such a convenient avenue to post updates, photos and what not’s. So, in keeping with the pseudo-wedding site role my personal site has turned into, here’s a rundown of our wedding suppliers.
