Half-Year Update

In exactly one day, we have half a year to go before the big day! Here be the things that happened so far...

Felt Bouquet

Still undecided on what to do for the handle but we definitely need to decorate it to look vintage-y. Maybe wrap it on a burlap or a lace. Kath's bouquet will have add-ons to make it look slightly different than the entourage's. By the way, reworks has been done to arrange the felt flowers ala umbrella instead of how it looks before na tightly clumped together. Nakakagawa na kami ng apat na bouquet so far.

Boutonniere

Most of the time, we craft our boutonniere during our tambay-nights after work. As of now, we already created 22 pieces in all. Halos tapos na yun. Kailangan na lang subukang lagyan ng magnet para hindi masira yung mga barong ng magsusuot if in case we use saftey pins. Also, we plan to have Obi's boutonniere unique by adding a DIY heart plushy.

Wedding Rings

Miss Katrina of La Real Jewelry had a meeting with us to have a sample fitting. Replica pa lang ng singsing namin, ang ganda na! And she has been really accommodating to us throughout the time that we are paying for the rings. This month, fully paid na kami. Woot!

Catering Service

We downgraded our package to exclude some of the items that we will not need due to us getting a dedicated event stylist. It lessened our overall cost significantly without affecting the choices of food so good job!

Hotel Accommodation

Pumunta kami ng Eastwood Richmonde Hotel a couple of weeks ago to have an ocular and inquire about the room rates. In summary, maganda yung lugar at walang masyadong restrictions para sa wedding photo shoot kaso alanganin pa din sa budget. We will try to inquire in Astoria Plaza - Ortigas next.

Presiding Priest
We went to the Malolos Cathedral two weeks ago to visit one of their parish priest, Father RJ Brion. Family friend siya nila Kath at ayaw niyang magpatawag na "Father" RJ sa kanila since they saw him grew as a kid to an ordained priest. Bata pa siya, matanda lang ng kaunti sa akin. He agreed to officiate our wedding kahit ang date ng kasal namin ay bisperas ng fiesta ng parish nila (Feast of the Immaculate Concepcion which is on December 8). Yahoow! Di na kami kakaba-kaba na baka biglang mag homily ng RH Bill or Gay Marriage ang pari sa kasal namin. LOL.
