One Month to Go
Yes, it’s been two months and I haven’t updated our blog. So what’s new?
One month to go and we’re ALMOST done with everything, down to the itty bitty details of how the misalette would look like, the script of the emcee, table set-up, confetti and other kikay stuff are all ready for our big day…. Here’s an update of what we’ve been up to for the past two VERY BUSY months of September and October…
Church – St. Pancratius Chapel
We were so eager in paying the final installment for the St. Pancratius Chapel in Paco Park, but we were told to comply with all the requirements first, including the seminar and canonical interview before we could give our final payment. Okay…. So all our documentary requirements are ready for submission on November 4, 2006, just in time for our Canonical Interview. What would the priest ask us? Hmmmm….
Reception Venue - Teatrillo
Done. Fully paid.
Gowns and Barong
All my entourage female members’ measurements were already taken by Tita Beng (mom of a former officemate in LRTA). There would be a fitting on the 11th of November and final fitting/distribution on the 18th. We were also able to pick a barong and pants for Manuel just last weekend! Final installment of payment, upon delivery.
Caterer – Kusina ni Kambal
Fully Paid. We have to set another meeting with Kusina so that we can see the actual arrangement of the guest table and that of the principal sponsors. We also gave them a picture of how we would like the couple’s table be set-up. We will not have the usual gazebo since I feel both of us won’t fit in there! Hehehe, parang masikip. And besides according to Kusina, their gazebo is so tall it wouldn’t fit inside the Teatrillo because of their low ceiling.
Invitations – Unifair
So we thought I’d do-it-myself our invites. Just felt it would also be costly so we chose the reasonably-priced Unifair. Erwin and Shirley were both very accommodating and promised to have them ready for pick-up by first week of November. I try to call them every week to follow-up on the progress, and as of yesterday our invites are already in production. I’m already excited of how they will turn out!
Photo and Video – Junasan Digital
We already had our pre-nup last September 24 at the Pag-Asa Observatory but prior to that, had a really upsetting hair and make-up experience with the F Salon. I had to re-do my make-up myself! To add up to the disappointment, the photographer came 1 hour late and told us that the client scheduled ahead of us came an hour late too. We were so pissed off that we called George Junasan and informed him of the situation. We proceeded with the pictorial (not on our best moods) so as not to waste the time and money spent for the day. George assured us that the photographer will not be late on our wedding day… aba dapat lang!
Entertainment/ Music – SJT Strings/ Sound System
Already finalized and submitted our songlist!
Paid in full the sound system to be used in the reception.
Coordinator – Marlene Flores
E-mailed her the program flow and script to be used in the program that I adapted from a close friend’s wedding (you know who you are). Thanks friend! Marlene and I will meet on November 4 to talk about wedding details.
Wedding Bands – China City Plaza
Done. Got a real deal with this one.
Bridal Car – Adeb Trans
Paid downpayment. Great deal too!
Hotel for Bridal Preps – Manila Hotel or Manila Pavilion?
Will find out next week!
Misalette – DIY
Already for production c/o my Mom.
Shoes
Purchased from Wade and Linea Italia. Manuel is so passionate about Italian shoes kasi.

On-going development by Manuel’s brother, Ferdy. The other AVP to be prepared by my sister Iyay and her BF Chano.
