What a feeling in my soul love burns
brighter than sunshine...

Let the rain fall I don’t care.
I'm yours and certainly you're mine.
Suddenly you're mine
and it's brighter than sunshine

Well, the website itself is terribly mushy already so let's
skip the about-the-lovers introduction part. :p

But basically, we're just simple crazy couple who loves
to laugh, share, pray, eat, love, watch each other,
laugh, walk long distance, eat again, laugh, cry together,
and laugh again.

That's what happy companionship is all about :)


Groom: Randell Manuel Flores
Bride: Lizbeth Repolona Buenaflor



Couple's Trivia:

The story behind why flowers are everywhere in this page is because
we're binding surnames that is full of it :d

Buenaflor and Flores are both Spanish words which means
Good Flower and Full of Flowers respectively.

Inspired by A Lot like Love Movie and OST

It was our favorite romantic movie together. Speaks a lot of chemistry connection between
chance friendships and happily ever after. Two people who fight off their romantic
attraction only to be thrown together...it also speaks about how love can be bad
and hurt sometimes, but in the the end, it is beautiful. IT JUST IS.

And yeah, that's how we started.

Below is a A Lot Like OST CD.

alotlike1alotlike2

Years ago, I made the poster-like design replacing Ashton Kutcher and Amanda Peet with our similar photos together. And it was his idea to surprise me by actually putting the design in CD. (-Liz)

You are the best one, of the best ones
[Stolen / Dashboard Confessional]

Can I keep you in my world?
[Stick Around / Azure]

Certainly you're mine and it's brighter than sunshine
[ Brighter than Sunshine / Aqualung ]

Wish I could be every little thing you wanted
[Every Little Thing / Dishwalla ]

I've seen a thousand things in one place But I stopped my counting when I saw your face
[1000 Things / Jason Mraz ]

This is our fate, I'm yours
[I'm Yours / Jason Mraz ]

I walk over to where you are. If you'll read my mind, you'll see I'm crazy for you.

What is a Bridal Registry?

Bridal Registry is a free service offered by stores to marrying couples.
The couple lists the items from the store that they would like to receive;
then when the guests go to shop, they can ask for the list.
It's optional. Registering takes the pressure off friends and loved ones.
By choosing from a list of items they've selected, the guests will know
they're giving the couple something they'd really like (and use).
This is also to avoid duplication of gifts.
Guest may not want their gifts sold or be displayed only by couples
who received 2 or more gifts of the same kind.
Choices of items are affordable and will suit all guests' budgets. They need not worry
about whether gifts are expensive or not. Bridal registry is a practical
way to buy and receive gifts.

But it's the guests' choice - they may have other things in mind.
The bride and groom will appreciate whatever guests give them.
