I’m Married!!

I’m actually on vacation now, so I’m just popping in quickly to announce that exactly 11 months after Ken’s proposal (June 25, 2013), we’re finally married!!! :D

Ken and Celes, married

Us with our marriage certificate; that’s my parents on the right and Ken’s on the left! :)

Our wedding took place at Shangri-La hotel, on May 25, 2014, at 7pm. It was witnessed by 100 handpicked guests, people we consider to be among the 100 most important people in our life.

Thank you everyone for your well wishes; will be sharing photos, videos, and updates of the actual-day event soon, when our videographers and photographers send them over! :) (Our photo studio says it’ll take a few weeks up to a month for them to edit and send over.) In the meantime, we will be enjoying our honeymoon in Bali — updates will resume a week later, after I get back!

In the meantime, read:

Update: Photos of our wedding are now up! :D Read: My Wedding Day

    Congratulations to both of you! I was waiting for a big update post to say congrats but maybe you decided to forgo that. I just wanted to say I’m very happy for you and wish you both all the best.

      Hi Matt, I’m glad you decided to forgo that as the “big update” post is probably going to take a while, given that the local photo studios tend to take a while before handing their clients the photos and video footage taken from the actual day. (If you’re lucky it’s a month; my friend’s studio gave her a two month lead time!) Plus the fact that it’ll take some time for me to put together the material myself, recount the day and write the post (likely a series), I think it’ll be at least 1-2 months before my big wedding update can be posted.

      Thanks so much for your well wishes! I’m having a blast reading your healthy living updates at PE Forums. :D

    You inspire me so much, Celes. I feel like your story through life is much like my own, and your and Ken’s story has given me hope that one day I will find someone as perfect for me as you are for each other. Admittedly I have a long way to go in order to be happy with myself as I am, but I’m taking the steps to achieving that goal. Maybe one day it won’t feel like such a challenge.

    Congrats to both of you and all the best for your future together!

      Dearest Jessica, you’re such a sweetie! I definitely believe that you will find someone for you someday, and I totally agree that it starts with loving yourself first. Have you read my article on how it’s okay to be single and how to attract authentic love? If not, take a read — the tips have been very helpful for me in my own personal journey. I’m considering writing a new series on achieivng self-love, but I’ve some other pieces in the pipeline that I need to finish first.

  7. Cogratulations Celes! Wishing you a blissful married life.

  8. Congratulations dear Celestine! I wish you and Ken infinite happiness! A hug! Paolo

  9. What a wonderful married couple! I wish you both a long life of happiness, health and prosperity! In the meantime…enjoy your honeymoon…..! We are all awaiting for more photos and videos to share these precious moments of yours even by distance!

  11. Congratulations Celes! :)

  12. Congrats, Celes and Ken! I’ve been thinking about this because I knew your wedding would be sometime around now, so I’m glad to see a quick post if just to confirm it! I wish you both the best, it makes me genuinely happy to know you two have found each other! =)

      Thank you Calae!! :D Not sure if you’re on my Facebook page — more of my personal updates are posted there. I avoid posting too many personal posts here since I still want to make PE a content-driven blog, so I only make the occasional big announcements (like me getting engaged or married) but leave all the rest to my Facebook.

    You are both beautiful and although thousands of kilometers away I share in your happiness. Life is a journey, of course. I’ve enjoyed the way I have traveled with you Celes and I look forward to the future with the new Celes + Ken.

      Thank you John — I love the way you’ve phrased it! I look forward to embarking in my new phase of life with Ken and continuing to build PE as Celes (with support of Ken)! :)
