I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.  I’m a big fan of wedding anniversaries.

It’s living proof that marriages still work.  That romance can be kept alive and that true love conquers all.

Yes!  you still can have that  big lump in your throat and butterflies in your stomach TWENTY FIVE YEARS AFTER!*

Nina and Ted - Same Day Edit from Jason Magbanua on Vimeo.

A couple of weeks ago, Ted and Nina dropped by our Makati office and discussed the music and treatment of the same day edit.

I was blown away when he let me hear an acoustic version of Bloc Party’s So Here We Are (I’m a long time fan).  Us three clicked right away with long conversations about movies (Wes Anderson) and 80s schtick (Electric Blue).

The wedding, despite the 500++ in attendance was really focused on their respective families.  I could see why the couple grew up to be such super nice persons.  Have a great life guys!

You know how us wedding suppliers always say how sweet, awesome and moving the weddings we do are?  Definitely not exaggerations but it takes events like the one we did last Sunday to remind us,  the couple and everybody else that there’s a long hard (yet sweet) road ahead.

Mr. and Mrs. Boy Dizon’s 40th Anniversary from Jason Magbanua on Vimeo.

Anniversaries are waaaay more awesome and inspiring.  The couples have been there and they have done that.  They have fulfilled their vows (on weddings they remain word) and have kept true to their promises.

The Dizon’s are a happy bunch.  Well mannered and a joy to work with.  Check out the faberge egg ring holder, if you follow the blog closely, this debuted in Stella and Randy’s wedding last year.  Come Aug 16, you’ll probably see it again because it’s Rodney’s turn.

The magic moment is at 2:41 - pure love!
