Ring Bearer

One of the first things i have decided on with the planning of the wedding was that i want barong for the groom and the male entourage--that is non-negotiable. I have changed my mind though with what our ring bearer has to wear after seeing his recent pictures.

super cute

If i convince LD to have sean wear the buzz lightyear costume for the wedding, maybe i can convince him into having a powerpuff girl cake. teehee.

Wedding Preps Update 2

should i panic now that i only have a little over three months to go before the wedding? if i really think about it, i should be finished with all the planning by end of november as december is going to be a super busy month. i doubt if my suppliers are going to be available for meetings as december is wedding month.

i went to the wedding expo 2 weeks ago but was not really able to book anything. let me write what i have done and what i have yet to do.

Church: Santuario de San Jose

Wedding Cake

i finally found our wedding cake!

the cake maker is good old reliable goldilocks. when i saw it, i instantly knew i want the cake. it was never on any of the magazines i was browsing. not even martha stewart thought of it.


ang cute diba? teehee. i told ld about it already and he was willing to NOT have a cake for the wedding if i was persistent on getting a powerpuff girl cake. so yeah, even if i really like it, i can't have it.

and i thought i can get away with it, teehee!
