I remember posting a status in Facebook during the wedding of Jaja and Dave early this year. I cannot recall exactly what I said but I’m sure it was about how I’ve experienced, for the first time, what a bridezilla is. The day was a disorder even before it started and it only got worse as it went along. The rain obviously contributed to the madness and Jaja was just determined to get what she wanted no matter if everyone seem to not agree with her or at least not to do it her way. In fairness to all of these, she wasn’t a bridezilla to me, but to the people I think she felt weren’t doing what they were suppose to do. The problem is that I cannot really shoot properly because we always had to stop and get annoyed by something and try to fix it. But you know what? at the end of it all, Jaja only wanted her wedding to be how she dreamed it would be. She will not let anyone or anything compromise it, not even the weather, and if she has to fire someone so she can do it herself, that’s what she will do.

It is something that is hard to understand for most people, even for me when we it seemed that we cannot shoot anything. But when all has been said and done, Jaja had the last and loudest laugh. The rain did stop and we had the beach ceremony just how as she imagined it would be and she never had to settle for anything. Her will and determination (stubbornness for others I guess) is unmatched and I applaud and love her for that. Most people get married only once and least for Jaja, there will be no regrets just wonderful memories and vindication.

Enjoy the photos.
