“Kayo na ba?”

It’s the question that changed Arvin and Kate’s lives forever. It all started from becoming “Facebook official”, a joke they’ve played together with their two best friends. Then, during their freshmen years in college, they had a routine of waiting for each other after class then going home together. Eventually, they developed a very special bond. They were actually unaware of their special connection until their friends asked, “Kayo na ba?”

It has been eleven wonderful years of seeing each other grow, supporting each other, and making it this far. For Kate and Arvin, their love story is the classic best friends turned lovers. They also believed that it’s what made their relationship strong through the years.

WEDDING PLANNING JOURNEY

We’ve asked Arvin and Kate about their wedding planning and if there was a different kind of pressure in choosing their wedding vendors knowing that Arvin is in the industry, and here are their answers:

1. The hard part is only the first part. At first, there’s a little pressure with choosing their photographer and videographer since that’s what Arvin is known for. Moreover, everyone was looking forward to it!
2. Arvin took the lead. Most of their suppliers were Arvin’s choice except for the hair and make-up artist. For Kate, Arvin has worked with various wedding professionals who are also his friends, so his choice would be the best choice.
3. Stellar Support System. The couple felt so blessed to have supplier -friends who are ready and happy to extend their support and be a part of their wedding day and their planning journey.
