A DIAMOND WHITE WEDDING

I am honored to be part of Scott Hayes and Tina Pendon's wedding held on November 6, 2011 at Nuestra Sra de Gracia and reception at EDSA Shangri-la Hotel.

For this couple's invitation, I was given a design to use as an inspiration. I found it too plain simple. So I decided to use an elegant white satin folder to insert their cards with an elegant silver brooch accent. I am happy with the result and happier with the couple's email message after receiving the invites (shipped to them in California through Fedex).

Tina's email:

Dear Ada,

I am sorry about you and your family's ordeal during Typhoon Ondoy.
I am glad that you and your family are safe now.
We shared your sister Nona and your family's feelings when my husband's family were affected by the Typhoon in Iloilo last year. It took us 5 days to be able to communicate with them and knew how they have survived.

Praise God for amidst the storm, you and your family continue to give thanks to Him.
" So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it. - Hebrews 4:16.

God bless!

Jane
