Amanda here!
I decided to post chorological updates for our event in this section. Your invitations will still come to you. Long story short, I got a rough start into the new year and I wanted to get out the save the dates as soon as I can. You will have the opportunity to arrange time off and getting hyped up for the event in progress. I may even post up some facts and some art along the way. You'll never know until you checked here often. ;)
That said, please expect changes and additions to the website. Working in progress is better than no progress at all.
Thank you all for understanding.
Have a wonderful day!

The engagement announcement picture seen here is used to test numerous pixel sizes for Save the Date cards. The real picture with improved pixels can be found on Amanda's social media. Her design was inspired by the engagement ring and was drawn a couple of days after the announcement. The date that marked the Day of Engagement is written on the top left of the design, just above her fiancé's initials. It's important to note that one area of the design (under the artist's initials) is blank, which depicts that the wedding date was not set during that time. One of Amanda's signature art styles are drawing these bubbly adorable characters she called Super Plushies. They are seen here as angels hovering around the glowing design. The work was done traditionally and digitally, which the artist likes to do when creating art.

The SAVE THE DATE cards has arrived and soon to be mailed this upcoming weekend! Pinks and greens are the main wedding colors as depicted on the cards, along with a little hint of ivory. The banner got updated with not just a glow up and little elements, but also with another date marked The Day of Matomory under the bride's initials. More Super Plushies with angel wings fluttered around the couple (front) and framing the QR Code (back). The photo is custorsy of the Mother of the Groom, which it was taken during Christmas 2024. Beautiful shot!

In regards of the SAVE THE DATE cards; the ones on the bride’s side was been dropped off in the post office box and in the process of being delivered. The groom’s side is in the process of getting the cards ready to go as we speak. They will be delivered by the end of the week. Special shout out to my Aunt Roseanne who had gathered the guests’ sending info! Your effort did not go unnoticed. And thanks to my parents who helped out too!

It's been a very long time, my apologies for my inactiveness. But I come with plentiful news for the wedding planning!
First important thing is that both the cake tasting and the food tasting concluded with flying colors. My fiancé and I had selected the refreshments you will expect during the reception (including specials plates for those with allergies). You will soon see a bountiful buffet and a certain cake that will fulfill a chocolate lover's and a sweet tooth's dream! More details will be included as the wedding day draws near.
Second important thing is that the official invitations are in the works, and they are almost done! All I needed to do are adding definition to the characters and finalized the RSVP date. I do know that the RSVP month will be August, so this is a good time to be sure you have time off for the event (and plan for travel if needed). I plan to finish and order the cards this month, and God-willing, I will send them out in July. Expect an original art from yours truly (no gen AI here).
That is all for now. I will need to go back and continue working on my wedding dress while the summer is still hot! Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day!

The invitations are a go from last Saturday of this update! They are dropped off at the post office and soon to be on their way to your mailboxes! If you happen to see an adorable picture of the couple as Super Plushies in our wedding colors (the picture below), that indicated the invite! The only thing that had changed that the RSVP month will be September, exactly one month before the wedding. Good news, you got extra time! And since I'm being extra, I decided to include some fun stickers as party favors for those who attend.

RSVP Date has been extended for one more week!
Sunday 09.28.2025
It has come to my attention that under half of our guest list has not yet responded. So I decided to extend the RSVP date. I will like everyone, whether or not you can attend, to respond swiftly as soon as possible. We would like to have the final guest count before our last appointment with the venue. For those who had already responded, thank you so much and we are looking forward seeing you at the event!
Also! The Wedding Timeframe is in the Works!
After this upcoming Sunday will be when the tab published. This is so you can have an idea how the special day will unfold.
That is all for now! I hope everyone is having a wonderful Hallows Eve (full month of September).

For context, in case if your imagination is going crazy on you, my wedding dress that I had constantly worked on for a year and a half is all ready to go! I am questioning whether or not to drop hints of what the dress looked like (because superstitions and what not). In the next update, perhaps I will once I come up with cryptic hints.

TODAY IS THE DAY!!!
Holy moly, it is happening! What a Hype!
(Guess who’s doing the update on a mobile phone instead of a desktop? This gal! Lol!)
I figured that while we are waiting for the special moment that is the ceremony, I am going to provide three hints of what the wedding dress will look like. The hints are as follows:
1. Since the event is a non-traditional wedding, the dress will also be non-traditional.
2. The dress is considered my Magnum Opus. Once you see it, it shall showcase all I learned and experienced in my almost 4 years of being an Alteration Specialist.
3. Of all the gowns that the bridal shop I work in offered, there is not a single of this certain garment type displayed. Or a bodice-like style of it.
Happy Guessing! And I can’t wait to see you all today! Be sure to have pocket tissues ready (you know who you are)! ;)
