See, I've followed Jason's blog since the beginning of this engagement, more than a year ago, and I've imagined how my video would rock it, the JMag way. But the fiance doesn't get the Jason Magbanua dream, and believes that there are less expensive packages out there that are as good as Jason's. Of course, we brides know in our guts that no one else comes close to JMag's level of epicness. But I also knew I wasn't going to win this argument, so I looked away, and bid a painful goodbye to the god of all wedding greatness.
So with the JM standards that I had, finding someone else was next to impossible. Others are just not creative enough, or too corny, or too scripted, or too old-school, or had a jologs approach on video that made me cringe, or are still too expensive. I was beginning to lose hope that I'd find anyone that I actually like because we were running out of time. I was worried that I'd end up playing a random game of eenie-meenie-meini-moe, and settling on whoever my pointer finger's soulmate was.
And then this appeared right on my Facebook feed. Excited, I googled Treehouse Story, landed on their website, and fell inlove with the cute little birds on their page. Yes, I do judge the book by its webpage. Eeeeeeeh kasi feeling ko cute ung website, so cute din ung videos 'cause both came from the same source of creativity and ingenuity. Naks! :p I remember tweeting this after THS forwarded their rates to my email.
(referring to THS and Rock Paper Scissors)
Treehouse Story is pretty new to the Philippine wedding scene, but they totally rock. Their works are tasteful, and it's the first thing had me sold. Oh, and yeah, according to the majority of our female guests, I had the "coolest photographers, and the hottest videographers" Sabeeeeeeeh???? Haha!
Here's the video.

TODAY I GIVE YOU ME
Today I give you my eyes
They will look at you
With love so true
Today I give you my hands
They will hold you dear
Assure that I’m near
my eyes will sparkle with your image
and stare at you through thick and thin
my hands will lift up and encourage
touch the very soul you thrive within
TODAY I GIVE YOU ME
I WILL BE WITH YOU FOREVER
FROM THIS MOMENT EVER AFTER
TODAY I GIVE YOU ME
FOR WORSE OR FOR BETTER
LOVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE CAN OFFER
FROM NOW ON
MY LIFE, MY ALL
AS GOD IS MY WITNESS
I PROMISE YOU TODAY I GIVE YOU ME
Today I become your half
And yet I’ve never felt this whole
Today I give you my heart
It will beat completely
For you only
my soul is quenched by all the love you give
and praises Him, our Lord and King
my heart will keep the vow I now commit
have and hold from this day on I bring
…my love… today I give you me…
TODAY I GIVE YOU ME
