11. GUEST BOOK

GUEST BOOK: Your guests can write special messages on your wedding day. You’ll want to remember who was at your party. Some opt to have a photo book printed with their prenuptial pictures and empty fields and spaces where guests can write their messages. It’s a photo book and guest book in one! Jacob and Angela’s big day was also a big day for me. It was my debut. A coming out… a vindication… a resurrection… a rebirth.I worked tirelessly for the entire day, tying up loose ends, making last minute confirmations, making sure that nothing would go wrong.The ceremony by the beach was perfect. The way we arranged the place made it look like they were not in the beach at all. Instead, they were in paradise. We had the reception in an open area, facing the beach where huge lanterns glowed along the shore and some in the sea itself. At least four bubble mac

12. WEDDING FAVORS

WEDDING FAVORS: There are plenty of choices for wedding favors. You can choose from figurines, candles or mints. Just make sure that whatever you choose, it’s not out of your theme and your budget. Plus, it should be something that you yourself would be glad to receive. I made myself busy the next week. I got the early shots of Angela and Jacob’s wedding. I asked permission for those to be uploaded onto my site. I also asked for some early video clips that showed most of the venue, the arrangements, and the highlights of the party.I was very happy with the results. Rose was getting a lot of inquiries for our services.I met with my friends at a new bar called Rig Style. I didn’t want to risk meeting Ryder at Oil Rig. I promised to stay away from that place since I found out he owned it.“So when will you treat us for a round of beers?” Dannie asked me.

I always thought business class flights were a waste of money. But Ryder had a lot of money to burn.He checked us into a suite in a five star resort. When I stepped into the room and realized that there was only one bed, I instantly became nervous.He must have sensed my discomfort because he looked at me wearily and said, “It’s only right that we stay in the same room if we want to make this believable. But I’ll stay on the couch, don’t worry.”“I can stay on the couch, Ryder,” I

You don’t just take off to Neverland and not tell us!” Nicole scolded me.“I went to Miami,” I told them. “Something I needed to do to repay my debt.”Dannie raised a brow. “Who were you with?”I took a deep breath before I answered. “Ryder Van Woodsen.”“Holy crap!” Nicole wailed. “Do tell!”“There’s nothing to tell!” I told them.“You don’t spend a whole weekend with a god and say that there’s nothing to tell!” Dannie scolded me.I sighed. “I met up with his best friends. He had a bet with them. He had to

HEIRLOOM:Something of special value handed on from one generation to another. The next Friday, I had a surprise visit from my mother. She was with Uncle Reynolds and his wife.“We won’t be long. We just want you and Adam to come with us to Manhattan,” my mother said.“What? Why didn’t you tell me immediately?” I protested.“It was a spur of the moment thing for us. Your uncle has a meeting in Manhattan. We decided to come with him,” Aunt Betty said. But there’s a look on her face that I cannot decipher.“Where’s Dad?”There was silence. Then Uncle Reynolds said, “He’s busy. He’s meeting up with some of his associates for the weekend.”I was not convinced by my uncle’s reply. I immediately felt that something was up. The look on Aunt Betty’s face i

16. BELLS

BELLS:One of the most common symbols of marriage and weddings. The minute I entered my mother’s hotel room, they noticed my ring.“Oh my God, this is just too gorgeous!” my mother said, pulling my hand.“This is expensive!” my aunt breathed. “It’s a Harry Winston!”“You’re embarrassing me!” I hissed at them.Ryder just chuckled.“You spoil her too much, young man,” my mother said, but I could tell that she was very happy for me.“She deserves it, Mrs. Jacobson,” he said. “Astrid deserves to wear a ring as beautiful as she is.”Ryder was the epitome of grace and gallantry. He was everything a girl could ask for in a boyfriend! It’s like he was ripped right out of the pages of a romance novel. Sweet, funny, he treated my mother and my aunt like they were queen

CONTRACEPTION:Part of the honeymoon checklist, if the couple is not yet planning on having babies immediately after the wedding. We dropped off my family at the Waldorf Astoria. Then, Ryder and I drove back to his apartment in silence.We were playing a dangerous game. In truth, no guy would put up with this. Why Ryder was doing so, I didn’t know. And he was doing it so well, and so nicely, it was getting more and more difficult for me not to feel something for him.Damn! Already physically attracted to him; I didn’t want to wish this was all real. I couldn’t take that risk.When he closed the door of his apartment, I turned to him nervously. He was smiling at me mischievously.“Ryder, I can’t really kiss you here. No one is here to see us. No need to put on a show,” I said.He stepped closer to me and tilted my chin gently so he cou

FLOWERS:An important element that makes up the whole wedding. Flowers must go with the theme, and must always match or compliment the motif. I found my mother in deep conversation with my aunt. When she saw us coming, she turned away, but not before I saw that her eyes were glistening with tears.I raised a brow at my aunt, but she merely shrugged.We went back to the hotel. Uncle Reynolds and Ryder had coffee in the living room and I figured it was time to speak to my mom and aunt privately.“What’s going on, Mom?”She shook her head.“Mother, I’m not a child anymore. Tell me what’s wrong.”All of a sudden she launched into a fit.“Oh my God, Mom!” I said, hugging her.“Your… father is having an affair!” she burst out.“What? When?”“It’s

USHERETTES:Their role is to make sure that your guests do not lose their way on your wedding party. One night, Ryder called me to ask a favor.“The maid will come tomorrow. Usually I’m there when she does. But I won’t make it this week. Can you stop by my house? She doesn’t have a key. Just let her in and stay there while she does her stuff.”“You want me to supervise your maid?”“Not really. Just be there to make sure that everything’s in order.”“Alright. I think I can handle that.”The next day, I went to Ryder’s house. His maid was a woman in her forties named Zara. She didn’t look like a maid at first, more like a diner waitress. She was chewing gum and was wearing a skirt way above her knees.“Where is Mr. Ryder?” she asked me.“He’s in Manhat

ARRANGED MARRIAGE:A marriage born out of a business arrangement where both parties aim to benefit from the other. Adam asked me to have dinner with him. But I knew my cousin better. He only invited me over for dinner to either drop a bomb on my head or he’d touch base on what’s going on with the business. So even though it was casual, I was ready with the figures in my head, just in case he asks.“Business is good?” he asked casually.“I knew you took me to dinner for a reason!” I accused, pointing a finger at him.He chuckled. “Just asking.”I smiled at him. “It’s great!” I said. “In a few months, you’ll see those figures going green.”“Maybe it’s time to expand.”I stared at him. “What do you mean?”He shrugged. “Well, my investor saw
