A wedding happens only once in a lifetime. That being said, the amount of time spent in planning and preparing for one day seems unimaginable. But not a lot of people know how everything falls into place. Even me, a wedding photographer, haven’t really seen what really happens behind a wedding and that is one […]
Just for today, I’m taking a break from shooting weddings. This time, I want to check how other suppliers work and prepare for their client’s “BIG DAY”. Fortunately, I was blessed to visit one of the well-known wedding cake suppliers, Judy Uson. She is known for making beautiful sugar flowers and wedding cakes. The lead […]
Although I was scoffing at what they were saying–that W@W was a virtual community–I still joined W@W when I was starting wedding planning. The community I initially believe did not exist became a big part of my life. I was the typical OC and DIY bride and I was so much into W@W that my Dad once […]
I was part of the early days of w@w in 1999 when we all became woven together even just through emails. “Eyeballs” or meet-ups were just part of sealing those friendships forged online. I wasn’t actually looking for w@w when it found me. But I believe it did not happen by accident. It found […]
My wedding preparations are now all a blur. All that remains is my love for the foundress of w@w (n@w), Benz. With all of her celebrity status now, she has remained warm and down-to-earth. With all the people she knows, it is surprising how she remembers people’s names and their stories. I don’t see Benz […]
I became a W@W addict when I joined in 2000 (or late 1999?); a N@wie since it started, and a wedding coordinator after until 2010. I’m the cool working mom of Micko and Matthew, the kuyas of W@W kids, now 20 and 18 (they were 4 and 6 when I joined W@W); got married in […]
My first encounter with W@W was when I was still a video editor at Daniel Lei Studio Being part of the W@W community is not just pure business. It is also being part of a big family who believes and supports one’s crazy passion — like a kid’s emotional tank being filled with love. I […]
Because of W@W, I transitioned from being a loner to being friendly — gaining sisters at heart (w@wies who became really close friends along with their hubbies). Oh yes, because of W@W, wedding planning became enjoyable, too. I am Chelle. I changed my wedding date 3 times and on our 4th date… Yey! Finally! People […]
I met Benz digitally 11 years ago when I was transitioning to a new life. I don’t know why but for both W@W and N@W, she has always “promoted” me to be one of the moderators of the community. Sobrang active ko lang siguro sa pagpopost. Even if my mod-duties can be considered pro-bono […]
Josiah’s Catering would not be what it is today without the exposure provided by W@W and its awesome community. Even if we are already one of the pioneers in the wedding industry, W@W has been instrumental in helping us reach another level. W@W provided Josiah’s that next gear which truly helped us to continuously improve […]
I’m Ivy, a W@Wie since 2012 and N@Wie since 2014. What was originally a quest for ideal suppliers turned out to be a second family for me – from being mere chatmates, we became the closest of friends, confidantes, and advisers. I can’t imagine life without my co-W@Wies. W@W changed not just my wedding day, […]
Back in 2007, my mom gave me a W@W Primer. Since mothers know best, I think she already knew even then that being a wedding planner is a profession I would be good at. I was doing wedding coordination and hosting for family and friends only during that time. I had no idea about the […]
I first heard about W@W from an officemate who was getting married a couple of years ago. That time, I was still a computer programmer, although I had already gotten hooked into photography and videography. I clearly remember my first email to W@W was to attend a W@W Video Fest featuring Jason Magbanua. I was […]
I joined W@W in 2005, and I’d like to thank Benz for creating an online community that supports and encourages us to be better wives, moms, sisters, and friends. It also empowers us to love and improve who we really are. The community is hands-down way better, faster, and more reliable than Google 🙂 I […]
I’m Jenki Fernando, and I’ve been a W@Wie since 2006. Before, I used to believe that I was a “Jack of All Trades, Master of None”… To me the tag sounds negative, but with W@W, I truly appreciated how everyone liked the things I made which I thought were just mediocre. With W@W I found […]
I am Charm, ang sabi nga ni Mimma, ako ang resident polymer clayist ng W@W since 2011. Hahaha! I am a proud W@Wie and N@Wie, and walang halong biro, I am not the person I am today kung hindi dahil sa W@W and N@W. 🙂 I am Charm, wife to Ray and Nanay to Bryx. […]
