Singapore: An Enchanting Island City
Have you ever been to a place that your experience was not so good so you had zero plans of going back? Honestly, that is how I felt during my first trip to Singapore.

Now, visiting the second time around makes me think otherwise. Here are my favorite, MUST-VISIT locations in Singapore. Enjoy! :)

#intheYuNickofTime Wedding Kwento (8 of 9): To Celebrate Love With Family We Choose ❤️ . Honestly, one of the hardest parts in planning a wedding is thinking of the guest list (It’s sooo hard!). My family is quite big so aside from Siargao, we also had a Manila reception. From the start, Nick and I both agreed we wanted a very intimate wedding (75 guests!) and wished to be surrounded be guests who genuinely know us as a couple or immensely helped us in planning the wedding. Our love story wasn’t easy so we definitely wanted to celebrate our best
#intheYuNickofTime Wedding Kwento (7 of 9): Forward, March! . Sharing with you the reading during the ceremony: Cor. 13: 4-7 Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; . I have always dreamt of my bridal march - a solemn reveal as big wooden church doors glide open and I walk down the aisle. Then, come the day itself, I was in the car and I saw that they couldn’t close the old wooden church doors - in fact, it was jammed and impossible
