When telling people we were about to get married, I noticed that the TOP 3 most frequently asked questions were:
1) Kailan?
2) Saan?
And surprisingly…
3) Anong motif niyo?
So the motif, or the color, is perhaps as important a detail to people as the date and the venue of the ceremony. Although I bet, that if the frequency of question is related to the importance of that detail then, people should be asking “Anong ulam?” =)
Anyway, we initially chose blue and brown but one of our good friends who also got married raced us to it. So in order to maintain the uniqueness of their marriage we decided to change ours. It didn’t take long for us to decide for new motif though.
Puzzled. That’s the reaction we get when we tell people our motif is going to be Black and Ivory. We can’t blame them. These color combination is very unconventional and risky. But somehow we find it very symbolic and elegant at the same time.
Our motif celebrates contrast. And isn’t marriage about that?
