For our Flower Girls

While work is taking most of my time, I am still trying to give some of my time for our wedding preps, thanks to my hubby for patiently waiting for me everytime I have to extend my working hours. Went shopping last friday for our flower girls and female entou, I got emotional when I saw the MOYMOYs for them,, they are still young but I wish that someday they'll find their own Moymoy who will send them to the altar to utter the words I DO.

Hubby got his reward yesterday,,, and it's fulfilling to see him happy!!! love u hon,, mwah! mwah! mwah!

36 Days To Go!!!

At this time, I learned to let go, I am now contented on what we have now, I dont what to stress ourselves for the little things about the wedding. When we were in the Philippines last Holy Week, I remember my father said to not to worry about others reaction, because we can't please everybody, everybody has to say something, we have limited number of guests, I wanted to invite them all but we have to stick on our budget.

I finally met our coordinator Ms. Clarice, hmmm..happiness... she's such a darling, we discussed everything, she is very organize, Mark has nothing to say but all praises to her. She accompanied us to Dangwa to book for Mang Boy Mahusay for the flowers, she really helped us on what kind of flowers to choose, and im so happy because everyone will have a bouquet on our wedding but still the price is within our budget. ( our PS is 16 pairs, FG is 12.. hehehe). I am so happy on getting her as our coordinator.

We met also with Mr. Lorenz Arquero of Serenata Strings, he is very nice also, we discussed about the songs (entou march, bridal march, first dance, father and daughter dance) to be used, and the rest will be his selections.

We also had our prenup, Lindsay Co-Alog made my hair and make up, then we headed to La Mesa Eco Park to meet with Feliz Christine Diestro my prenup coordinator and Jayson and JOanne Arquiza our photographers. We had a great time working with them, we love our pictures, it's like we are not ngarag days before our prenup shoot.

Less than 2 months...

Now that my countdown is down to 2 digits, everything is coming to my senses that it is now less than 2 months until our wedding day. I started visualizing and planning my wedding for more than 1 year, but the actual preparation really took us 7 months (including the wedding day), although I booked most of our suppliers before but I realized that making payments are nothing compared to going in to details of the wedding, like finalizing the principal sponsors and entourage and calling them one by one, selections of menu to serve, guests list and table arrangements, if your friends for example in high school or college are 12 or 11 and they all want to seat together (lol), music to be played at particular event in the reception, programs for the reception, measurements of entourage, etc.

Mark just informed me that his leave was approved and he is now more excited for our trip to Manila on Saturday, weee.. yep, we are going HOME again for the last leg of our wedding preparation. We will finally meet our coordinator for the first time and she offered to accompany us to Dangwa where we will book Mang Boy Mahusay for our flowers. I so heart her, I told her about my budget for flowers and instead of going to a more expensive supplier she suggested Mang Boy and assured me that he never fails her in terms of delivering really good flowers, so I decided why go to expensive one if he can offer the same service and besides my friend Gia who just got married advised me not to spend too much on flowers coz after the wedding it would be nothing.
We will have a prenuptial shoot on March 30 and I am still looking for a venue, I can’t decide if we will pursue it in Tagaytay or we will just find good locations in Manila or QC area. Pictures will be posted here. Yey!!!

86 Days To Go!

Well, that's explain how busy I am plus the work load argghhh! We are now working on our invitation, full names and spelling of our uber special casts of this wedding checked, we will just send it to craftmaster next week. I would like to give credit to the Best Man (my brother in law Angelo) for helping us in dealing with craftmaster and for making the map to be inserted in the invites, thanks anjo, you're really playing your part ah, kudos, thanks much!
At first I thought it was very easy to plan a wedding of your dream, coz I have set my mind where I want to get married, what I want to wear, who will be there for us, but after booking everything we need, the hardest part is when we go to details, which one is the best, example: which song will we use this or this or this or this... , parang we love every song we hear pero di pwede lahat, but eventually there is this Perfect One that will stand out, just like the Perfect Creation that God has brought to Me.

We had a blast last month when we went home for wedding preps, we stayed at Sofitel and met Santino, I have high expectations for this hotel but it turned out just a so-so for me, though we have yet to try their dinner buffet maybe in May will get to try, that I heard a lot of positive reviews kasi for their food. We already booked our stay here night before and after the wedding, after that we don't know where to stay (lol) maybe will go back to SG na lang hehehe.

List of our accomplishments last Month

1. If i am a Veluz Bride,, am happy to announce that Mark is now a Veluz Groom!!! yippeee!!! Mark decided to wear a suit instead of barong.
2. Booked our super love coordinator Clarice! yey! She's really my dream coordinator. She gave me a wedding planning kit (have to post a pic pa)...I love her more!
3. Cake...checked! yipeeee! Until now I am salivating for Ms. Joy San Gabriel cake, she has a wedding that day but she still accomodated us. Dito ako excited e, will finalize the design next month sa pag uwi namin.
4. Mother's Gown : Gretchen Pichay, heard Gretchen sa w@w and saw her bridal creation, I am impressed agad.
5. Entourage Gown: Farley - I was talking to him at the phone inquiring for entou gowns, and I was haggling for FG gown, I said, baka po you can give me pa discount for FG gowns 10 po kasi ung FG namin and I heard at the other line his BIG LAUGH, oh and now its 12 na FG na.
6.Second Food Tasting- Eloquente: Ok na ok na yung food, and Jun gave us additional menu which is Lenggua, actually before that may bloopers pa kasi Jun said ma'am minsan lang po talaga ioffer yung lenggua kasi po for 250 guests ilang dila ng baka yung magagamit,, wahehehe may point nga naman, but he still gave it us for free.

We stil have so many things to settle, like the flowers and have to meet pa with Serenata for the bridal march song and guest lists, sana mag RSVP sila agad para sa headcount sa caterer.
