Though weddings may have to be scaled down, you can still throw the most meaningful event. Your wedding can still happen! How?

July 10, 2020 was their set date to get married and Nathan and Alex made sure it would push through. They scrapped their original plan of getting married in Tagaytay with 150 guests and focused on finding a Church and intimate reception venue in their hometown for easier mobility. It definitely worked in the couples favor that they are both practical thinkers. It allowed them to act quickly and adjust effectively to the cards they were dealt with. So, with just a month left before the wedding, they were able to book a Church, apply for a marriage license, attend an online pre-cana seminar, and arrange an intimate reception. Finally, everything was set! Alex looked stunning in her wedding dress that she bought online for only P5,000 and everyone enjoyed the music that was streamed through Spotify. Nathan and Alex’s wedding may not be how they imagined it, but it definitely brought unimaginable warmth to their hearts. Check out these beautiful shots captured by Everafter Stories.
