LOOK: Aiza Seguerra and Liza Diño’s DIY wedding preps and wedding day in California

 

Dec 8, 2014 14 hrs before the wedding Yes, I'm still at it. So many things to do, so little time. Mamaya na ako ma-eexcite. Madami pang kailangang gawin. We had a small gathering with some of our guests. Some flew in from New Jersey and Texas, some drove from Los Angeles. It felt good seeing all our friends together. Haaaay...ikakasal na talaga kami. Before ako ma excite, I need to go back to work. Mamaya na Lang ako kikiligin. Busy pa ako.:) #zazaroadto4ever #hagardoversoza

Dec 4, 2014---This wedding D.I.Y project has turned into a family affair. I asked amara to write love quotations on wood slices. and this is what she wrote---"Love knows no gender". People have asked me how my daughter has been taking all these new changes that is happening in our family. She's six. She's not supposed to understand the "complications" involved in situations like this. I will never forget the time Amara and I had THE TALK about Aiza. Since day one, I already knew i wasn't going to resort to the "birds and the bees" story.Amara is relentless.She doesn't stop until she fully understands the situation.So choosing to address it rather than "shield" it most often works best. I didn't know how she's gonna take it. But she smiled at me and hugged me, "mom, I've never seen you so happy." She had endless questions about the gender issue. I said there different kinds of love--there's a mommy and daddy, like what she always sees but love can also happen between a mommy and mommy or a daddy and daddy. She paused a moment then said "...as long as you have meaningful love. That's what you and Baba have, meaningful love". I almost choked into tears. In the eyes of a child, the confusion only comes because of the unfamiliar. But what we may see as a "complication" can just come down to something very simple: LOVE IS LOVE---it goes beyond gender, race, culture or religion.And I'm so proud that at such a young age, she see the world without judgement! We may not be your conventional family. But we are HAPPY. That's what matters.... #zazaroadto4ever

Dec 3, 2014 Sometimes we get so consumed by the little things that make up a beautiful wedding that we tend lose sight of the most important thing...US. I miss THIS, too. As much as you do. I'm sorry if we both got caught up with all these preparations. (but im proud of all the craft projects you've accomplished!!!) Tagal na tayo hindi nakakapagyakapan ng ganito. We are days away from our BIG DAY--a day where we declare our love to each other and share this unique and extraordinary experience with our friends and loved ones. At the end of the day. this is what matters. The two of us, together. Happy. and living every moment of this. I can't wait my love.... love you so much!??

Dec 6, 2014 2 days before the big day University of the Philippines, Diliman "Pana-panahon ng pagkakataon, maibabalik ba ang kahapon..." June 1999. Nagtanong ako sa iyo tungkol sa UPCAT, gusto ko kasing mag-apply. Sinagot mo yung tanong ko, tapos nagulat nalang ako noong bumyahe ka papuntang Bulacan para ihatid yung application form. Style mo talaga. Dun nagsimula ang lahat. Natatandaan ko pa nung parati kitang pinupuntahan sa UP para dalawin ka sa rehearsals habang May dalang Red Ribbon na cake. Naalala ko rin noong napanuod ko pa yung isa sa mga una mong play. Sa UP Theater yun, Shakespeare's Taming Of The Shrew. Wala akong maintindihan masyado non, hirap talaga ako kay Shakespeare. Pero tuwang tuwa ako nung nakita kita sa entablado. Proud ako nun. Feeling boypren kahit hindi naman tayo. Pagkalipas ng maraming taon, napakalaking bahagi pa rin ng UP sa atin. Dito tayo unang nagkita ulit. Dito tayo nag-dedate. Dito kita tinanong kung gusto mo ba akong makasama habang buhay. Dito mo ako sinagot ng "Oo". Ilang araw nalang, magkaka totoo na ang pangarap natin. Ang pangarap ko. Excited na ako. Kasi alam ko, kahit matanda na tayo, mag-dedate pa rin tayo sa isawan, sa fishbolan, sa chocolate kiss, sa beach house at pagkatapos maglalatag ng banig sa bandang sunken garden habang nag-kukwentuhan, naglalambingan at nagtatawanan. Mula noon hanggang ngayon, lumipas man ang panahon, ang pagmamahal ko sa iyo ay hinding-hindi magbabago. #zazaroadto4ever #zazafamily

Dec 7, 2014---- THE JITTERS. They say it's normal to feel it. Marriage, after all is a life-changing experience. While almost all pre-wedding jitters are associated with fears and uncertainty about taking on this lifelong commitment, here I am, feeling the complete opposite. I can't wait to spend my whole life with you my love. I've never been so sure about anything in my life. From the day I said yes to your proposal I KNEW THAT YOU ARE THE ONE. All it took was the decision to BELIEVE and this is what I found... US. I have never felt so content. So blessed. So LOVED. So why am I feeling jittery? Coz, the #zazaroadto4ever is just about to make its first stop.(I'm still over the moon that I get to do this twice). I still cant believe it!!! Love, this is it. We're almost there. Welcome to our FOREVER. P.S. wag mo iiyak lahat may Pilipinas pa!!! #zazaroadto4ever photo credits: @theproudrad videographer: @jasonmagbanua
