Love Story
Michelle and Ervin met when they both attended culinary school. The two shared the same classes and group of friends, and those allowed them to slowly develop a deep kind of friendship--without Michelle knowing that Ervin liked her more than just a friend.
Eventually, Ervin mustered enough courage to show his true feelings for Michelle, and the two went on to become sweethearts. "[On] April 2005, our relationship started. We are opposites in a lot of ways but our love for food, shopping, movies and traveling kept us bonded," Michelle shares. The couple had their fair share of ups and downs in their relationship but remained strong together.
Five years into the relationship, Ervin then decided to bring their relationship to a new chapter, as he asked for Michelle's hand in marriage. While on a trip to Palawan with some friends, Ervin took Michelle to a small island which he rented out and where he prepared a surprise romantic dinner. Just before the main course, Ervin popped the question and made their special night even more memorable.

Wedding Preparations
With elegant hues coupled with whimsical details, Michelle and Ervin's wedding was truly one affair to remember. The couple wanted a modern wedding that represented their personalities, which they got with the help of their suppliers, who were headed and coordinated by Ernest Pascual. The wedding featured a chic light blue and lilac color palette that was charmingly reflected on the entourage's attire, invites, missalettes, décor, and other wedding details.
"The reception was breathtakingly beautiful thanks to all our suppliers," Michelle gushes. But aside from the remarkably cohesive details, special surprises from the couple and their guests also made the celebration memorable. For their first dance, the couple danced to Eric Bennet's The Last Time, a song they both love. Special song numbers and heartwarming speeches also filled the night, which was capped off with a surprise song number by the bride. With all the wonderful details that came together on their big day, the couple could not ask for more.
In realizing such a beautiful and touching wedding, the bride asserts,"The most important is to really figure out what type of wedding you want to have, then start from there." "[Also], choose suppliers that you feel would be able to reflect your ideas," Michelle adds.
