I'm marrying my dream man, my bestfriend,my everything!

Every little girl dreams of growing up to marry their true life prince charming.  I am so fortunate in my life to have met Justin who is more than I could ever ask for in a partner.  He's my bestest friend in the whole wide world, the supporter of all my dreams and does everything he can possibly do to make them all come true.  Little does he know my dreams are already coming true, I'm marrying him and feel so blessed in life that I get to spend forever with him.

On August 7, 2011 at 11am Justin and I will be married!  The following Tuesday we'll be away on our honeymoon to Thailand and Singapore until late August.  I wanted to share with you friends some engagement pictures Justin and I took throughout the years.

All of the photos were taken by our dear friend Sherwin Sanchez, 
who is an amazing photographer, but an even better friend.  He is so talented in everything he does and has a huge heart.  He was generous and offered to be our wedding photographer.  We are forever grateful for your generosity and friendship Sherwin! :)

Date: July 10, 2010 (Our 1st engagement photos)

I was a preschool teacher for a very long time and I wanted my outfit to reflect my personality: feminine, caring, kind and pink!

❤ My outfit:
Windsor Dress (thrifted) similar and cuter here
White bow wedges similar here and here (both under $30)
Pearl necklace similar here
Pearl studs similar here



The dress I wore was a Winsdor dress I found at a thrift store (Salvation Army) for only $3!  
Justin picked out the white bow wedges I wore and I picked out his blue shirt.  Blue looks amazing on him.

I love this last candid photo.  We didn't notice that Sherwin took this shot, but I love the expression on Justin's face. :) 

Our kind friend Sherwin invited us to a test shoot before our wedding.  It was a beautiful hot and sunny day and I was too excited about the peacocks!
