Love Story
Leanne and Neville met in 2008 at a common friend's party. They only exchanged a brief conversation, but Neville has had his eye on Leanne ever since. He kept on asking her out, but back then, Leanne was not ready to date.
A few months later, Leanne and Neville met again at another common friend's party, and became good friends since then. In 2009, the two began dating until Leanne agreed to be Neville's girlfriend a year after during a romantic sunset date.
Eight months into their relationship, the couple went on a special trip to the United States where they planned to visit the Gold Gate Bridge in San Francisco. "When we [were] in the middle of the bridge and the magnificent sunset finally came into view, Nevo proposed to me. [Down] on his knees [with] his hands shaking, [Nevo] uttered the most romantic line: ‘Maria Leanne Celine Calma De Castro, will you marry me?'" Leanne fondly recalls.

Wedding Preparations
Leanne and Neville tied the knot last November 10, 2011 (11-10-11) with a celebration laced with personalized details and rustic elements. By getting their hands busy with a lot of DIY projects, the couple made their guests feel extra special on their big day. From the ceremony accessories to the favors, place cards, and specially packed snacks for the crew, the couple stamped each of their wedding details with their care and love. With the extra effort the couple exerted to make their wedding truly their own, their rustic romantic affair exuded a charming and inviting ambiance.
To make the wedding truly one's own, the couple suggests that marrying couples should first and foremost be realistic with the budget they allot for the wedding. This, they say, would help couples narrow down and pick their suppliers. "The [couple] should know what elements of the wedding are important to them," asserts Leanne. Moreover, couples should also choose suppliers who they are comfortable working with. "Rapport is important," she says.
