The Simplest Wedding One Can Imagine

[baliya15]

sis check mo ito sa simbahan kasi sa pagkakaalam ko, pag Catholic, kailangan kasal muna sa church before you can have this kind of wedding. ganyan din ata nangyari kina Maggie Wilson. what they did eh nagpakasal sila sa church nung umaga, tapos nung hapon yung beach wedding.

kung ganun sis, baka sa church na lang tapos sa beach ang reception. pero gusto talaga namin ang beach wedding eh.. mag-inquire din kami.thanks!!

Ako nga sis pangarap ko lang, ikasal sa Las Vegas haha! Pero baka ganitong wedding din ang gusto ko. Ayaw ko kasi ng malaking celebration pa.

a friend of mine had a simple wedding last summer. they had just bought their first home together a few weeks back so they decided to get married in their backyard at sunset. the bride wore a simple white silk dress carrying a bouquet of white roses and the groom wore a cream suit. just close family and friends were there(maybe just 20-30 people), they were married by their pastor (who knew them since they dated in high school) , exchanged solemn heart-warming vows and signed their marriage license on a tree stump. afterwards we had an intimate dinner in their patio catered by their favorite thai restaurant. they still had the traditional cake cutting, toasts, bouquet toss, dancing... it was a lot of fun. just goes to show you that weddings don't have to be extravagant affairs - they can also be practical, after all, how many people do you know who get married and already own their home, right?

Two of the richest people I know, both med school friends (one owns her own hacienda, another is the son of a diplomat and big-time lawyer), got married very simply. Guests lang nila family and close relatives, and their reception was in a yacht. Wala pa sigurong 20 tao.

@ sis rkstanton gusto ko din yung ganyan lang,very intimate since closest of friends and family lang gusto kong present sa wedding.do you mind me asking how much you spent sa edsa shang,food + function room?

kung ganun sis, baka sa church na lang tapos sa beach ang reception. pero gusto talaga namin ang beach wedding eh.. mag-inquire din kami.thanks!!

tama sis, nagpakasal muna sila sa church, btw, dina allowed sa catholic ata ang kasalan sa labas... kelangan sa church mismo na...ayaw na nila na mag officiate sa labas na wedding e.. kaya pansin nyo, mga pastor ang officiate pag garden,beach wedding..

[forumera]

^ pwede pa naman sis for renewal of vows nga lang pero pag first wedding sa loob talaga dapat ng church

[muahmuahmuah]

may nagtanong nga sa akin kanina kung ano gift namin sa mga ninong at ninang, sabi ko, pwede bang mag-take home na lang sila ng pagkain? 

cute naman ng thread na ito at natawa ako sa mag take home ng food as gifts. malamang walang bridezillas dito

sa family namin we weren't rushed to marry  actually ayaw nila kami ipamigay so weddings weren't that big of a deal.  what mattered more was the happy ever after the wedding like a one month honeymoon to some really rad place and  looking forward to the bright future ahead.  so kahit na i-imagine ko having everyone around makes the thought awkward lalo na when it came to the "you may kiss the bride" part. i remember even thinking na naka jeans lang ako and kahit kami na lang nung pari and walang iba...maski the groom wala (joke) was fine with me. basta may go signal lang ng pari ok na sa akin.

importante sa parents was as long as the man who wishes to marry us makes a decent woman out of us by sanctifying the bond through marriage would make them happy.  now, i still look forward to a simple ceremony, something hassle-free,  pero instead of jeans a nice simple dress na.

nakakatuwa naman magbasa dito.. 
nkaka-inspire yung mga ideas at ginawa nyo mga sisses..

eto din kasi isa sa iniisip namin ni bf.. simple church wedding lang, mga around 70-80pax..
inuna kasi namin ang pagbili ng house and lot namin so mas practical na dun na lang namin ibuhos yung savings namin than spending it sa magarbong wedding..

mas gugustuhin ko pang ipampa-renovate ng house yung pera.. hehe..

so pwede pala yun na yung mgdadala ng veil, cord and candle, sila na din sa bible, coins at rings? 
ayoko din ng maraming bata sa kasal ko if ever..

waaaaah ang ganda ng thread!
nalulungkot ako, pangarap ko din ang small intimate wedding. kaso hindi pwede sa dami ng relatives ni h2b, tapos madami din kaming magkakapatid. ayoko nga din ng may mga kids na mag-iiyakan or mag-aawayan..kaso andami naming pamangkin / kid relatives. andami relatives ni h2b na 1st degree na parang no-no na hindi makakajoin sa wedding. First kasi siyang pamangkin na ikakasal, Panganay din sa family.. hay. ang gusto ko nga lang talaga magulang at kapatid few friends at principal sponsors. kaso napagmeeting-an na namin ni h2b ito, at we ended up deciding na hindi talaga pwede.

congrats sa nag-start ng thread, tapos na kaya ang wedding niya? i hope you had your sweetest simplest wedding you planned for.

Me and h2b are currently planning our wedding (traditional, 200 guests), eh kung mag-present kaya ako sa kanya ng Option B-simple intimate wedding?
Uubra kaya to?:
sa morning simple wedding- bride and groom family lang, principal sponsors, super closest friends, maybe brunch, either luto lang ng parents namin, or nearby good restaurant.

Then, para ma-share din namin ang wedding day namin sa iba na important din samin, we'll have an after-wedding cocktail party, pwede ding dinner (kaso mas mahal yun) for everyone. dun na yung pinaka-program.

Or doble gastos ba ito?? haaaayy! gusto ko din ng intimate wedding.

Sorry ladies and haba ng post ko!hehe.

[super bratinella]

I can say I had the simpliest wedding, it was a ceremony officiated by a Pastor, then family members, then our ninong and ninang ang umattend we had our dinner at Island Cove then we went straight to Tagaytay for our honeymoon..simple but intimate...

[prettykhae]

@ sis liezl@GT: sis magastos nga un... what is isang handaan na lang kaso sa simbahan dun na lang yung limited yung pupunta... then sa reception mo na lang agad sila papuntahin. lol...

[liezl@GT]

^hayst, hehe oo nga sis parang ganun din lalabas. haha. pwede nga din na sa ceremony ganun, tapos, para maramdaman ko kahit papano yung intimate wedding. may gap nalang siguro ng time before padatingin other guests, same place kasi ceremony at reception eh.. haha, ang labo sa utak ko.bahala na!

nung tuesday sinabi ko yun kay h2b, sabi niya in faith, God will provide for everything that we'll need and more.

[ynah0901]

hello po! ask ko lang po how much ang gastos pag kinasal sa church ng walang entourage? as in immediate family and close friends lang ang andun? gusto ko rin po ng super simple and yet very memorable na wedding.. plan na rin namen magpakasal ni bf next year.. wala pa rin ako idea how much yung pwede namen magastos...

Thank you so much mga sis! 

[batang bantot]

hope some of our sissies will share more ideas about this.

i'm planning to have one too next year. just wedding rites lang..

live-in na rin naman set-up namin, so preferred namin rites lang.. saka we just wanted to have blessing from God 

[jo1]

^ same here sis esmeggle, kaya from the start, intimate wedding din ang plano namin ni bf... we're thinking: family-only ceremony (as in immediate family lang naming dalawa) and then all others (50pax) sa dinner reception na lang... no entourage din and no more than 2 pairs of sponsors...

medyo madami din kids sa guestlist so far (age 10 and below) so i'm thinking of activity bags for them (crayons, puzzles siguro) na lang para di mainip...

[nicegirl05]

i also want this kind of wedding since we are already married in civil rites.

[sarsingkit]

i had my wedding last sept 16 civil lang then lunch sa patio carlito for 30 pax (strictly family) then inuman with friends (light dinner then drinks) at 77 cafe.

what i like about both places ay yung artsy fartsy theme. ayoko kasi ng reception na with drapes and curtains tapos picture picture bawat table  hehe. hindi ako masyadong cheesy na tao so ayoko ng may mga speech and tradition etc. ang important for me is the ambiance ng place and sarap ng food. we also spend on a  quality wedding ring na kasi we decided na if ever we get married again sa church same wedding ring na yung gagamitin.

[batang bantot]

mukang talagang need ko mag wedding rites lang, kasi may h2b is a methodist, at ayaw niyang mag-convert. hay. ayoko rin naman mag-convert. hindi ko alam gagawin ko =(

but on the bright side, we can have a simple garden wedding na lang.. kasi gusto niya pastor mag-bless sa amin...

does anyone of you sisses have the same scenario as mine?

[Miss Scofield]

^hi sis! I can relate to your situation. I'm a catholic while hubby is a mormon. Ayoko din magpa convert pero si hubby willing but I did not let him para wala ng mahabang usapan pa sa side nila. We're planning to have a christian wedding dahil mukhang di approve yung family ni h2b na mag catholic wedding kami. Hindi ko lang alam kung pano kami magsisimula at kanino lalapit para maging possible yung christian wedding. Im hoping na may mahanap kami na open magkasal sa non members.
