Three
months after Adrin and I got engaged, I and my college friends were surprised
by another engagement announcement within our group. This time it was Aiza’s, who
accepted the marriage proposal of her then boyfriend, Jeron. We were
really amazed of the announcement because of two things; (1) Aiza has been really
picky with boys in the past and Jeron is her first boyfriend; and (2) at
that time, they haven’t even celebrated their first dating anniversary! Haha.
Nonetheless, we were very happy for them of course, especially me since I am
also a soon-to-wed. I’m excited to exchange stories with her as we plan
for our own dream wedding.
Fast
forward to August, while Aiz (as we fondly call her) and I were texting away
about the wedding cord that I just completed, I told her we can also DIY theirs.
She liked the idea but beneath the excitement, I sensed a hint of hesitation.
So since I’d like to contribute in making her wedding special, unique, and
personal – I offered her to do the job and give it to them as my personal gift for their upcoming union. The next reply I received was pure delight! Knowing
how traditional their families are, I reminded her to check first if they’ll
be allowed to use a beaded wedding cord.
Just
this month, before going back to Wellmanson for additional materials, she asked
me to make rosaries for them instead of wedding cord just to be on the safe
side. She didn’t want me making something that they eventually will not use. I
also noted of their color motif which is Aqua Blue and Navy Blue.
After
a couple of nights spent beading, these are the rosaries (I made them each) I lovingly crafted for
them.
I haven't had the opportunity yet to hand these to the couple. They just saw pictures of these in Facebook, and both of them found them beautiful. I bet they're already thrilled to have it. How about you, what do think of these rosaries?
Cheers!
