From Classmates to Companions for Life: Destiny Helped This Couple Find Their Way Back to Each Other!

Whether you call it destiny or say they were meant to be, Mark and Kat’s story is a sure hit for us hopeless romantics. Boy meets girl in the classroom halls, but they eventually part ways to pursue individual passions. By some twist of fate, they find their way back to each other years later and fall madly in love. It’s been said that great love stories like this should be celebrated, so for their wedding festivities, Mark and Kat chose a bright, breezy Church and a verdant outdoor venue. They styled the natural aesthetic of both locations with rustic elements and hues of pink and blue. Since the couple also shares a fondness of writing, they wrote a poem about their love story, which was artistically illustrated and printed on their wedding invitations. The poem was written in the Bicolano dialect as a nod to their cherished roots. Keep the inspiration flowing and scroll through the cheery photos by Mara and Mike Photography.

It was indeed a foolproof captured moment that says love is not, and will never be cancelled! Scroll down to see how these simple pieces put together created a sweet, relaxed engagement shoot captured by Southcollab.

An Enchanting Intimate Wedding in the Woods

This wedding is an enchanting sight to see, because Hanz and Trizia are surrounded by the beauty of nature and the love of their families. The assortment of flowers covering almost the entire space, and the woods itself look so magical! When you zoom into the finer details, I think you’ll find Trizia’s bouquet to be very interesting. It’s a simple yet lovely arrangement with just a ribbon to tie the dried leaves, pampas grass, and cotton flowers together; a thoughtful element which complemented the entire theme of the wedding. This is a great idea to follow if you want to preserve your bouquet and keep it as a memento from your wedding day!
