Our Wedding Invitation

  “My lover spoke and said to me, “Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, and come with me. See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.” My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places on the mountainside, show me your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely. My lover is mine and I am his; he browses among the lilies.” (Song of Solomon 2:10-14, 16)  “Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned.” (Song of Solomon 8:6-7)

Che’s Creative Wedding Favors/Souvenirs/Keepsakes/Mementos

  My honey has been busy making these wedding favors herself.  We bought the Arabic perfume bottles from Muttrah Souq with vials of different kinds of oil perfume.  Che then picked out some cute bags to hold the bottles and perfume together.  So many little details in preparing a wedding! 

Our First Wedding Gift!

  Many thanks to Rick, Christine and Katie!  Your gift, card (so cute!) and support are really appreciated!

Promises, Preparations and Perspiration!

  My honey captured these pics while I was trying on my tux at “Tahani Sabco” in Qurum, Muscat. (Tel-24562589)  If you are interested in learning about the origin of “the tux”, check this out.

Nothing But The Best for My Best Man!

  Picked up this awesome tux for my brother, Mark, who is flying all the way from Canada to the Philippines this month for the wedding!  We could have rented but I wanted to thank my bro for making such a sacrifice to join me and Che on such an important day.  I know the whole family would love to join us if they could and so Mark will be like the “family representative”. Can’t wait to see Mark! It will be his first time outside of Canada! How exciting!
