We won a prenup! うれしい!!!!!!

I couldn't believe it when I saw my inbox.  We won a free prenuptial pictorial, courtesy of Jane's (of Weddings at Work) friend, Ross, who is into photography.  Unbelievable, but so true!

It was a long day at work and I had just gotten home when I decided to check my email.  The topic of a free prenuptial photoshoot was the current buzzword in the W@W community, and bride-to-be's were asking if there would be a free prenup anytime soon.  Jane graciously emailed the group to say that her friend is very much willing to shoot 3 lucky couples for free, provided that they email the concept first and get his approval.

Without reservations, I immediately emailed that I am going to have a Japanese-inspired prenup, complete with yukatta and all.  Here's what I exactly wrote on my email:

Hi Sis Jane,
I hope ma-consider pa kami ni h2b for freenup.  Anyway, here's my try:
Prenup Theme:  Japanese
Location:  UP Bonsai Garden, or anywhere as long as it's garden.  Pwede rin siguro sa isang bookstore like Fully Booked, or sa library na lang ng isang university
Date: Kung pwede sana Sunday or Monday, any time.

H2B and I are bound by one thing in common:  Japanese language, kasi teacher ako ng Japanese, at siya naman nag-aral ng language din na yun.

Pls keep us updated.  Maraming salamat!


And the rest was history.  :-) 

A few months ago, I blogged about having a Japanese-themed wedding.  It's now my turn to translate all things Japanese for my up and coming prenup.  And I couldn't be more thankful for having such a talented, accomodating and wonderful photographer in Ross.  Check out his sample works here and here.

たのしみ!!!

Can't wait to do something similar yet also quite different from the ones already done by W@W 2010 brides...
