At last I’m able to upload the pics of my invites! The one thing I was very OC about, that went through an evolution of sort, starting from calligraphed invite, pop-ups, and then to this…

I must say both Gel and I very are proud of this baby! Thanks to Unifair we were able to put our thoughts into reality

Here are some pics:

 Gel and I went to Joel Bautista last friday for my first fitting, was kinda nervous while going there. My heart was pumping really fast...hehehe really can't explain why.

When we got there I saw Paolo, Joel's assistant and former schoolmate and Joel himself all smiles, my heart stopped a bit, these are the people who is now helping me create the most expensive and most beautiful dress I will ever wear!

They were surpised to see H2B, i guess you would usually bring your mom or MOH during fittings but I chose to bring H2B. Plus Joel is not availabe anymore Saturday when my mom and sis are both available. Anyways, it was not a problem.

I already had a peek of the gown when we went there last week for H2B's barong, and at that time it already took my breath away. I just loved how it looked like! But this time, it looked more, uhm, bridal hehehe with the peticott and the train! I love the lace he used! He said its the second best to Chantilly lace, then was the fitting...i literally had goosebumps while manang was helping me get in the gown! It was huge with the peticott and all!

The gown needed just some more tweekings and it will be perfect, a work in progress! I'm already excited with the beadings Joel will do with the lace, he already showed me the sample and I really liked it! I'm really glad I chose Joel!! He always made me feel like a bride!

Then last Sunday we had our prenups with Emil Buencamino. Was at his office at around 1pm for my trial MU with Toto Bagamasmad...what can I say he is also a W@W favorite! Super loved my make-up and the curls Ruben made with my hair! I loved how I looked like! Will post pics as soon as I'm able to upload them! I already got the CD from Emil, will probably have some time within the week.

Really weddings are the height of vanity for women, imagine all the pampering and the little details you demand from people around you, specially from those who will help you look your best on the day! Haayyy :)

 I went to Festival Mall last Saturday to look for something I to wear for my prenups yesterday, but I couldn’t find anything so I just walked around, looking for anything wedding related I can buy. I chanced upon this beautiful cake server, the detail of the handle is simply charming!!



Now the only thing missing in my cake cutting and bridal toast will be the knife I will use to cut the cake, hmm I’ll just have to keep looking. Here is a picture of the whole set I got:

The flutes I will use (the set includes four but of course I’ll use only two):



The plate where I will put the cake:



And the cake server:

I have to start looking where I can have this personalized.

 We were at Joel Bautista’s shop last Saturday to finalize the design of my H2B’s barong when he told me he can already show me my gown, without the beadworks of course. Can I just say I had goose bumps when I saw it! Goooossshhh!! Really beautiful! The lace he used was really beautiful! And I love the belly area, hahaha sobrang galing to hide me bumps! He was actually teasing me to try it on, but I couldn’t, I just couldn’t! I still need to psyche myself, I told him hahaha! I’m not yet ready to try it on!!

We met with Sentimental Groove also last Saturday, met with Randy their production meeting director. I don’t know but I felt kinda weird talking to him. Seems he is a little bit sick…hehehe. But all went smoothly with the meeting. We were already armed with the list of songs we liked to incorporate and we have already decided what kind of feel we want to have even before we went so I guess there’s nothing left for them to do but to add on to our ideas. Kudos to my H2B for this… he really worked on this, researching for the songs, looking for the lyrics and even buying cds! Great work hon!!

Before we went to Joel and Senti last Saturday we passed by our Parish to submit our marriage banns (H2B and I have the same parish). I knew that I will be paying for the permit and for the banns but I was not expecting I’d pay as much! P500 for the permit (this is permit to marry in another parish) and P100 for each week the banns will be read (total of 3 weeks). That’s 800 bucks right there! Gosh what happened to charity!!

Last Wednesday I met with Jody Liwanag for our first meeting (I got her for OTD Coordination). Gel was really amazed with her. He jokingly said she sounds like Kris Aquino. And really its true, no dull moment with her. She handles her clients very well. I think it comes with experience, since she’s been doing this for quite sometime now, I’m sure she already knows the tricks of the trade. She has a list for everything! Soo organized! I love her!!

Last Saturday, on our way home, H2B and I was talking about our problem, its still up in the air, but at least we have a plan B now. I’m praying though I don’t need to go to plan B.

 Haayyy… I just have to vent this out… my heart is breaking! We’ve started planning our wedding about 2 years ago… we thought it will be easier since we have more time… but it has not been. Since Sept of last year we were bombarded with sooo many problems! Haayy and now with just around 2 months before the big day the problems has not stopped coming!

I really feel down today. I have class this evening but I don’t think I have the energy to go.
