Wedding Preps Update 1

ang pinaka masarap na part pala ng wedding preps ay ang food tasting. last tuesday, i had two. one with kaye cunanan for lunch and with cuillere for dinner. me and the parents were super busog.

we are happy we are making progress with the wedding preparations. here is what we have...

Church - Sanctuario de San Jose
Reception - Blue Leaf Events Pavillion
Caterer - K Cunanan (will just have to finalize the menu)
Photo and Video - Lito Genilo of Smart Shot Studio
Wedding Rings - Matus Jewelry

oha, we are making progress diba. Kahit na walang wedding gown, may wedding ring naman na. teehee. shorts and flipflop na lang ulit like the engagement. one thing we are having a hard time with are the invitations. i thought madali lang yun...hindi pala.

hopefully, i get to finish the invites this week. then i can move on to other things. 5 months and one week to go! teehee...oo may countdown talaga.

Wedding Preparations

i know i still have to blog my engagement kwento but right now it's the wedding preps that's keeping me busy. i never thought preparing for a wedding is this difficult. looking for the right church and reception venue is giving me a headache. i pray i get to book the church this week.

another thing bothering me is the reception venue. i want a really nice place for a reception venue. the thing is super nice reception venues cost an arm and a leg. that is venue alone! i'ld rather spend on good food, drinks and music than scrimp on that part just to have a nice venue for a reception. tama ba ako? so pwede na talaga sa mcdo na lang diba? cheeseburger!

photographers and videographers are expensive too! of course i want super nice photos of my wedding day, so no choice but to invest on this. sometimes i think we can just get mang domeng (official family photographer)! teehee. he still uses film and the video is in betamax format.

then the bridal gown and that of the entourage. honestly. for a gown i would only be wearing for one day i don't want to spend a lot on this too. after my wedding day, i won't have a use for my gown. i know i'ld have to just find a good dressmaker and nice material and i should be fine. but i don't want "bulsa" on my wedding gown--or maybe i do for my cellphone, tissue and my vows. teehee.


i only have 5 months to prepare for the "party that begins a new chapter in our lives". i want this to be a great one to be enjoyed not only by ld and me but by all those we love.

hay....back to surfing muna for more ideas. uhm...open ang suggestion box.
