it should be that by this time, we're all in the philippines preparing for the june 24 wedding. but my baby mj decided that she was to arrive in september and that mommy and daddy should put aside their church wedding plans and plan for her arrival instead. =) she'll be here soon and so along with with the baby plans, we are planning for the january wedding. talk about stress and time management! but we are happy that we will have little mj with us to complete our family. =)
some of the things we still need for the wedding are: flowers for the ceremony and bouquets for the ladies; gowns for bridesmaids; hair and make up stylist; wedding souvenirs; place for the rehearsal dinner; barong for paul
i am desperate to get the flowers over with. i don't know if i should go to the big name/expensive florists or settle for a local florist in cavite. i know someone who owns a flowershop...but i have my doubts about their flowers. i was told that the girlfriend of my old friend from high school owns a flowershop as well. but my friend hasn't returned my messages (maybe he hasn't gone online(?)). maybe i'll post a bulletin on friendster and see who will be helpful and respond to what i post.
gowns. the ladies in the philippines will have their gowns made there and ladies from here will buy from here. [mga barubs, we need to find someone who will make your gowns na!] i hope we accomplish this by october. i know it's several months from now, but the less i have to think about, the better. (note to self: order swatches on friday). i've already picked the potential dress for the my friends here in the states. it's now just a matter of scheduling appointments with the bridal shops and getting them at the best price possible. =)
hair and make up: i don't want to spend too much money on this because...maganda na ako! hahaha! kidding aside, (yes, i'm kidding!)...i've asked my cousin for his recommendations but he hasn't said anything to me yet. i just want someone's skill...im perfectly happy with the make up that i use, i just don't want to put make up on myself that day...i don't trust myself that much (pang everyday lang ako) plus, it's my wedding...i want to be pampered. =) i can't fix my hair so i really need a professional to do that for me. any recommendations? my budget for my own hair and make up is P5,000. does paul need make up for the wedding? hmmmm i wonder how he feels about that? hehe
souvenirs: i have to ask my sister in law to go to divisoria and canvas the best price for the souvenirs we have picked. =)
rehearsal dinner: my friend jeshan said that they went to a good chinese place in malate (has to be in manila so it's close to the pan pacific)....i hope they can email me a copy of the menu soon. =)
barong: paul has to take care of this. i don't know if he wants to start looking now or if he wants to buy his barong in january. i suggest he should start looking now, but knowing my husband, this is the least of his priorities. =)
there are so many other details that need to be decided on. so many little things that need to be purchased. i think we're going to skip the wedding planner and spend the money on other things for the wedding. we'll have to ask friends and relatives to help us to make sure everything's going smoothly. =)
