Most
people would never even dare think of having a blind
date. Who knows who your near-sighted friend will set
you up with, right? That person could have absolutely
no sense of humor, no two front teeth, three eyes, or
worse, he or she could be one of those sickos whose
picture you just saw on the "Most Wanted"
list at the police precinct.
But when a couple of friends set her up on a blind date,
Marj decided to take the risk since her friends, who
were a couple too, promised that they'd be on the date
with her. If after arriving at the restaurant she finds
out that she was set-up with one of the Ninja Turtles,
then at least she'd be able to kick her friends under
the table all night.
Luckily for Marj, her friends aren't near sighted and
she and the guy, Tats, hit it off almost immediately.
Since they were both coming out of a failed relationship,
Marj and Tats both decided to take things slow and start
out as friends first. But God
apparently
had a different plan for them because six months after
they first met, the two were already a couple. And a
year or so later, the two were already starting life
as Mr. and Mrs. Tats Dayrit.
Lady luck must have looked favorably upon Marj and Tats
because everything just seemed to fall into place during
her wedding preparations.
The Perfect Venue
She
has always wanted to be married by the beach, and
as luck would have it, she works as the PR manager
of one of the country's most beautiful and exclusive
residential resort: Punta Fuego.
With its numerous beautiful, private white-sand beaches,
Punta Fuego was the perfect place for her dream beach
wedding. The breathtakingly magnificent bluish green
hue of the South China Sea served as a beautiful backdrop
for the couple's celebration. The tiki torches, locally
grown calachuchi flowers and seashells the folks from
Punta Fuego added were the perfect finishing touches
according to Marj, as they completed the casual and
intimate ambience she and Tats wanted for their special
day.
Two days before the wedding, Marj realized that she
and her gown designer had two different ideas as to
how her wedding gown should
Marj
& Tats' wedding cake
look
like. And just as all hell was about to break loose, Marj
was, luckily enough, able to find a wedding gown in the designer's
stock that was even more beautiful than what she had initially
wanted.
Been
There, Done That
Marj was lucky to have avoided a major
disaster, but not everyone can be as blessed
as her. Marj advises the brides to work
"closely with your designer and allot
ample time for production."
When
it came to the other details of her wedding preparation,
Marj, fortunately, didn't have to agonize much. The
management and staff of Club Punta Fuego took care of
everything save for the wedding gown and the photographer.
And since she has first hand knowledge of how efficient,
reliable and thorough the people at Punta Fuego are,
Marj had no qualms about letting them deal with the
nitty-gritty of her wedding preparations.
And
take care they did. The Punta Fuego people did such a great
job that everyone of the 60 or so people they had as guests
sent them text messages saying how great everything was
almost immediately after the reception.
But
you know what's truly remarkable?
Marj
and Tats, with the help of the amazing people of Punta Fuego,
were able to have their perfect beach wedding with just
a month of preparation!
Hmmm…
Is it just me, or does Lady Luck seem to have a favorite?
