At Last I'm Back!

 Oh my God! I sooo missed blogging! I wasn't able to blog for close to one month! Geessh! Why? Long story, i'll save that for another entry, I want to dedicate this post to the wedding details!

Ok let me just tell you how stressful this week has been. Did I tell you that H2B's dad is a seaman? Ok not yet I think. So that is where the problem started and ended. He was supposed to come back late July or early August just in time for our Sept. wedding. But alas! H2B got a phone call from him last week telling him that he will be coming back last Sunday! That's atleast 3 months earlier than planned! I thought at that time that we wouldn't have any problem, of course he can work something out so that he'd still be here on Sept. Imagine my dismay when Tuesday evening, here comes my fiance telling me we need to move our wedding atleast 3 months earlier to June 25! Hollyy...! Hahahaha! But as they say, what will not kill you will only make you stronger. To make the long story short, we tried to move the wedding to June 25 but Philippines is such a wedding factory! So many people are getting married! San Agustin is fully booked on that day plus Manila Polo is fully booked all Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays of June and July. We tried, but we just could not do it. That day also, Wednesday, his dad went to his office and told his boss he will not go until after the wedding. Of course his boss said yes. (Can you just imagine how many saints I thanked after hearing that his boss said yes!) Hehehehe :)

Ok enough about the problems lets get to the updates:

Wedding Gown: I will get another set of designs from Joel tomorrow afternoon, hopefully i'll get to decide within the week.
Ento Gowns: Half of them already got their measurements taken about two Saturdays back, half tomorrow.
Reception: Will go to Manila Polo tomorrow to pay the security deposit. I think around end of May we'll pay 50% na after signing the contract.
Flowers: Got to talk to Lala of Interplay about two Saturdays back and we have already pinned down the flower choices for the bridal boquet and the entorage. This is where I am having second thoughts because I want to have a crystal bouquet. I love the idea that I can get to keep the crystal bouquet even after the wedding. I'm still deciding on that. Did I tell you about this girl Lala, she is such a darling! She is very easy to talk to! Very accomodating!
Reception Decor: I am working with Balay Kandila and Interplay on this. I already have Interplay's quotation but Balay has not gotten back to me yet. If I don't get the quotation by next week i'd probably proceed with working with Interplay. Interplay naman looks pretty promising. Lala has so many ideas, and I like the things she want's to incorporate in the wedding. Hopefully things work well with her coz her quotation is really promising!
Souveniers: I was able to talk to one supplier of Orchids regarding this and he has given me a reasonable quote naman. I'm still deciding though if I'd give orchids or small plants on the wedding. I'll have to visit Manila Seedling so I can look at my choices. I like the idea kasi of using the souveniers as certerpieces muna on the tables para double purpose. Saves me money pa!
Invitations: I'm working with Amis now since they gave me the lowest quote for the invitations I want. Problem with Amis is that they are fully booked! Imagine my meeting with them is on June 8! Thats like more than a month from now! Geessh! But I really love this pop-up invitation I saw in a magazine. I gave up on my calligraphy invites already! Instead I chose something fun and playful, just the mood I want to have on the wedding day itself.
Church requirements: I'll have my confirmation on May 21.
Legal requirements: Have not started anything on this yet. Baka June na lang.
Photo-Video: Went to Emil Buencamino's studio last Saturday, I was having second thoughts kasi about his video eh, I want to get a separate videographer. I wasn't really impressed when we watched his sample video's. Hopefully I have enough extra money pa to get a separate videographer.

So far these are what I have been working on the past month i wasn't able to blog. With so many changes happening to me right now, the new work and all, its really hard to still keep my focus. Hopefully I'd be able to stabilize myself again soon!

I have so many more kwentos but i'd leave that to another post ok. For the meantime, i'll park muna and rest. :)
