happy.happy.happy

i have always thought i want to get a service of a back up photographer that could come earlier during the preps since my main photog is arriving at 1PM. i got in touch with one but since i can't find the budget for him, i was not able to confirm immediately of us getting his services. not till the other night.

mommy: "gusto mo kunin ko si mang domeng to take pictures sa wedding?"
me: "huwat? si mang domeng?" (gosh, sineryoso pala ako ng nanay ko about getting mang domeng).
mommy: "oo. mag picture-picture lang sya dun. ako na bahala sa kanya."
me: "if gusto mo, i know a photographer. yun na lang kunin mo."
mommy: "magkano?"
me: "******" (syempre ayaw ko disclose sa inyo).
mommy: "sure ka? magaling?"
me: "opo! magaling talaga. walang sinabi si mang domeng"
mommy: "sino yan?"
me: "si ___________________"
mommy: "talaga? o sige."

i immediately got in touch with the said photographer to check if he was still available on January 6. after i knew he was, i called my main photog to get his permission of me getting a back up photographer. he didn't have any problems with it and last night i received the contract from the photographer. weebee. after lunch, im off to the bank to send our downpayment.

let me introduce to all, our back up photographer....Atty Raymond Fortun. check out his multiply account to know that he is not only a kick a** lawyer but a kick a** photographer as well.

one month to go...baby steps to 010609

this is it!

when i started the wedding preps, i said i want to have finished everything by december but i must have been dreaming when i said that. im starting to feel panicky with all the things i have to do and finalize but im happy that everyday, i am able to accomplish something. the coming days are going to be very busy as i am to meet with people who would help us make our wedding beautiful. LD is arriving in 15 days and i am preparing his list of things to do ( teehee, joke lang. ). i remember us starting the countdown to 140++ days to his arrival and we are now down to the last 15 days.

i have in my past posts mentioned my dilemma as to my bridal car. i have toyed with the idea of just riding a cab or using my parent's adventure. i called a lot of bridal companies and car rental companies in my search for an affordable/reasonably priced bridal car. at one time, i almost fell out of my chair when one of the companies i called told me that to rent a toyota fortuner for 10 hours would cost me Php35,000. i told the lady i was not buying the fortuner, i only wanted to rent it for a day. i thought i was doomed to just taking a cab and i know LD has been nervous that i was really serious about it. yesterday though i found the solution to my problem. i found something i really wanted and it was reasonably priced too. i found my bridal car uhm, correction my bridal SUV. met up with the owner's at serendra yesterday, went for a joy ride, discussed some details and i closed the deal by paying for the downpayment. friends, meet our bridal SUV...



love it! i still have one surprise with the SUV but you'ld have to be at the church to know what it is. still so many things to do and as what the title of the post says, i am taking baby steps to jan 6. one day at a time and im pretty sure i would get to finish everything. it is the little details that is stressing me out but i only feel stressed for a minute or two and then i realize that what's important is that we get married and have our families, relatives and friends with us on that day.
