The Beauty of Patience: Inspiring Journeys of Three Women Who Found Love and Married a Little Later

It’s not an unknown fact that society often sets a timeline for women, suggesting that marriage should happen early in life.

Kailan ka maga-asawa?

Kailan ang kasal?

Uy, tumatanda ka na! Hindi ka pa ba maga-anak?

This societal pressure often creates unnecessary pressure, making it seem like there’s a deadline for finding love.

The truth is, everyone’s journey to marriage is personal and should happen in its own time, not because society says so. This Women’s Month, we’re celebrating three women who didn’t let such “deadlines” rush them. They found love and got married when it felt right for them, proving that the path to marriage is as individual as the person walking it.

Handcrafted and Deeply Personal: Check Out This Bride’s Beautiful DIY Creations for Her Big Day!

Jed and Kim’s wedding was a delightful blend of personal touch and elegance that perfectly mirrored Kim’s creative spirit. She’s the force behind her own jewelry brand, Pulseras by Kim and Love Susie, alongside her sister. Embracing her love for DIY, Kim infused the celebration with handcrafted elements that were both unique and deeply personal.

I love DIY-ing, partly because I have a specific thing in mind that I want and couldn’t find a supplier to make it for me, and partly because I enjoy making things with my hands,” she shared. “We spend so much time typing away on our phones and laptops, ‘making’ virtual things, I find it so refreshing to create actual physical things for a change!”

Not only did she create the signs, ceremony giveaways, bridesmaid boxes, and table numbers herself, but she also made a video, an arch mirror sign, and a special pendant for her bouquet to honor her mom–plus a few more!

This hands-on approach extended to sharing the DIY process online, providing guests with a sneak peek into the creation of various wedding elements.

“It was so nice hearing them say “Oh I saw you making this signage, it looks so good in real life!” or “I was trying to see if the initial you stitched on your wedding shoes was still there” It just makes the wedding feel more crafted and personal since they got to be a part of the behind the scenes story of the making process,” she added.

Kim’s approach showcases how a wedding can be transformed into a crafted, personal narrative, filled with love and the joy of DIY. Get inspired through these photos by The Backyard Studios!
