Worse wedding you experienced/seen (Part 2)

[sweetberries]

yung sa sound system pala sis care of ng venue nila, as in basic sound system lang..

[angelzero]

I agree with a previous post na pag walang budget, don't try too hard. Pero hindi naman lahat ng simple DIY weddings ay disaster. I attended my bf's cousin's wedding and it was simple and nice. Ang hindi lang magandang nangyari ay yung long wait before the rites began. They were waiting for a ninong na VIP kaya hindi pwede mag start na wala sya. Pero all in all ok naman yung wedding. It's not the most stylishly detailed wedding but considering it's all DIY by the groom's family maganda na sya. May konting glitches but things turned out well especially close family and friends lang ang invited, hindi magulo. I appreciate the fact that everyone in their family pitched in and that's what matters.

Yung worst na naattendan ko is one wedding in Pangasinan. Mom ko kasi was a ninang. Sinama ako at dad ko kasi long trip sya. Parang family bonding na rin kasi nag check in kami sa hotel near the church the day before. Yung church rites, ok lang, normal lang. But come reception, woah! Typical probinsya wedding na buong baranggay pinapakain. Ang init nung venue, tangahaling tapat, very crowded, hindi konkreto yung floor, bato bato sya. To be fair, the relatives of the bride got food for us so we don't have to queue (baranggay nga eh LOL). Pero as a result, eat and run talaga kami kahit ninang si mama kasi sobrang uncomfy nung venue. And i think the bride and groom understood.

regarding wedding gowns... marami na akong nakitang brides na either ang luwag ng gown or ang sikip. nasasayang ang ganda ng damit kung hindi tama ang fit... pero ultimate na ata yang nasira ang zipper, so sad.

i am quite certain that this is the case when the brides happen to believe the "bawal isukat ang gown dahil hindi matutuloy ang kasal" pamahiin. sino ba kasi ang nag-imbento nun at bakit nauso yun? at least yung sukob merong logical explanation. >.<

[akireyhoj]

^ano yung sa sukob?

[chillyne]

sis sweetberries whew! akala ko kilala talaga. hirap nga din talaga kung walang background yung suppliers to handle such event. thank you for sharing!

sis akireyhoj share ko lang i got it online http://yohanian.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/sukob-a-pinoy-pamahiin/ - SUKOB SA KASAL:  it is believe that misfortunes will befall the couple if they decided to get married during the same year a sibling also got married.  If you have watched the film SUKOB starring Kris Aquino and Claudine Baretto, this is exactly what the story is all about.

hmmm.. sukob din kaya ang Double Wedding?!

[akireyhoj]

Haha exactly sis pano yun mga double wedding? Sabi nga namin kaya pinauso ng matatanda yung sukob sa kasal, kasi magastos magpakasal di ba? Eh kung 2 anak mo ba naman ikakasal sa loob ng 1 year, tapos kayo gagastos 

[chillyne]

sis akireyhoj di ba?! hehe pero ako sunod nalang din sa pamahiin, wala namang mawawala kung susundin. sakit lang sa bangs minsan! hehe 

[evilwoman]

-Emcee of the event.. hindi nacapture ni emcee ang attention ng mga guest, we're just talking to each other at wala man lang pumapansin sa kanya. And walang system yung program, she even let the guest eat na kahit wala pa sila bride and groom.. and may mga guest pa naman na eat and run, when the time comes for pictorial, halos half na lang yata ng guest ang natira..

I'm sorry sis ha..but on this part siguro pangit din e attitude ng mga bisita.alam naman na may nagpprogram,bakit di magpay ng attention? Kahit ba napakahina ng host,if they truly are celebrating with the couple e di sana mageffort na makipagcooperate di yung dating e nagpakasal ang 2 just to please the guests.

One of the worse wedding I went to? Mine!
Lahat nakekealam sa preps never kaming nasunod ni hubby siguro because our parents shouldered
all expenses kaya feeling nila they have the right to call the shots, akala ko nga never na matutuloy yun
kasal namin sa dami ng palpak at nakekealam, but sometimes I wish hindi na nga natuloy sa dami ng
stress na inabot ko! Till now iniiyakan ko padin siya, every girl deserves a nice wedding tama kayo mga sis and
dont you let anyone say otherwise, hindi nila alam ang pagod at stress na pinagdaanan natin. I might
sound so OA pero iba talaga habang buhay mo na dadalihin yung mga what ifs.
Everything went wrong during our wedding from the gowns to the church down to even the smallest details as my shoes
disaster talaga I dont want to elaborate because it pains me to even think about it. Sobrang sama parin ng luob ko lalo na sa
family ko na dapat sana tutulong samin pero sila pa ang dahilan ng mga palpak.

sis i feel you kaya nga as much as possible ayaw kong makialam ang parents ko. Though hindi sila magshoshoulder pero nakikialaam talaga sila. Tapos sasabihan pako ng hindi ko raw sila nirerespeto at walang say. SAbi ko nga ikaw na nga ang bride eh hindi ako. Minsan pag may nagtatanong sakin about the details. Sinasabi ko sa kausap ko tanong mo sa mother ko siya kasi yung bride  . Gusto ko na nga matapos tong wedding kasi habang tumatagal lalo sila nakikialam. At alam ko na pag sinunod ko sila mapapamahak ako.

Like pag nagsukat ng gown is lining lang. BAwal magsukat ng kahit anong gown. Kesyo yung gown nalang niya suot ko sa on the day. Invite ang mga frends at kainuman ng father ko etc etc. Never ending pakikialam talaga

[melmedrano]

@ sis iceheaven31 - siguro sis ang nagpauso nung pamahiin na bawal isukat ang gown ay isang mananahi. para di na sya mag adjust ng pinagawa sa kanyang wedding gown. mahirap din yun. Hehe

[vainwriter]

^^sis natawa ko dun sa itanong sa momy mo dahil sya ang bride

[ayieloveszavi]

this is coming from a coordinator, madalas na nakikita namin na problema; palpak na host. that's why i wrote na nga an article about this. madalas pinilit lang mag-host ang isang kamag-anak, kaibigan, kakilala kasi magaling DAW magsalita, maboka, maraming alam sa couple. but guys, hindi lang ito ang kailangan sa isang wedding host. minsan nga kahit naghohost na ng events pero first time sa wedding, nagkakamali pa din.

personal experience namin: walang kabuhay-buhay na host,; yung panay uhmmm, ahmmmm; di alam pano ang games kahit inexplain mo na; daming dead air; nagpa-games at raffle, wala naman palang proze O.o

VERY IMPORTANT: sound system and host. they can make or break your reception program. syempre iba naman ang food

[jhellie]

Pero Sis, naniniwala ako na a good host can really catch the attention of the crowd. Sa totoo lang isa ito sa dapat kahit pano mag i-invest ang couple http://

Worse wedding na napuntahan ko was last September, wedding Ng family friend, super gulo Ng Entourage then the reception was held in a basketball court. Imagine, we're wearing a gown tapes sa basketball court Ang recep. Super init Lang.

[mishysmom]

it's nice to have this thread para may compilations of hopefully what to avoid.

i just can't help not posting my NOT SO GOOD wedding experience:

(1) my first cousin's wedding last last dec 2012. 2 boys lang sila & first sya to marry so imagine the excitement of our family.

i actually advised them to join forums so they'll have idea of suppliers etc. siguro busy people as they are, di na nila nagawa. kaya limited talaga ang knowledge nila on who  to hire. so here comes the worst caterer who was VERY LATE sa reception. naka set up na sila when the guests started to arrive pero the food was late. ang reason: traffic daw. can you believe that?

the caterer was palpak kasi the coordinator was over palpak to begin with. package kc nila kinuha si caterer & coordinator. they were not properly attired (yung uniform or least same color man lang to distinguish them from the guests). yung head coord keeps walking around paco during the ceremony nakaka distruct talaga kasi maliit lang paco chapel diba, tapos big lady pa sya. not really so pleasant looking, i'm sorry.

sa reception, parang mga anak nya nasa reception table na i really feel walang experience. oh my, basta lang pinahanap kayo where to seat. inisip ko nga baka cousins ng bride's family na tipong tumulang lang, i'd understand. but when i learned na coordinators sila, gusto kong mahimatay.

di talaga napansin yung late food kasi the guests were busy talking w/ each other etc. here comes the head coord (yung old lady), talking in a loud voice over the phone as in nagmumura na bakit late ang food. ayun nalaman tuloy ng mga guests na late ang food. ay naku promise gusto ko syang suntukin. kasi kaming mga close relatives & the couple's close friends, gumagawa kami ng paraan na wag mahalata & to keep the guests busy.  yung coord who was supposed to do their job yun pa ang umeksena. can u beat that?

(2) my sister's wedding happened 4 days after our cousin's wedding. yung di magandang nangyari is sa mga ninangs. my sister kasi is into fashion design & works abroad. OC sya pagdating sa attires, as expected naman. she was gifted with yards & yards of tela of her motif which she provided to the ninangs para nice to look at sila kasi same color. ok na sana pero there was this 1 ninang na nag proxy sa asawa nya. take note ang asawa ang ninong pero di makaka attend (from europe sila). ang wife ang dumating at nagprisinta to be proxy. di matanggihan ng sister ko & her hubby kasi syempre from abroad pa. pero naman ang suot nya was dark brown gown (the rest were in teal green). hahaha as in panira to the max! imbes na bride ang lumitaw sa group picture w/ principal sponsors, litaw na litaw ang ninang in brown. we just kidded our sister na ipa photo shop na lang. pero eto ang mas worst pa, she was wearing dark shades!!!!

Share ko lang mga na experience ko or heard from friends

1. Yung wedding na pinuntahan namin ni hubby last Dec 2012. HS friend ko kasi ang kinasal and she invited me to attend the wedding. Since tagal na kami di nagkikita and I was really happy to see her walk down the aisle nagpasama pa ako sa hubby ko sa Cavite early morning for the wedding. Medyo late lang ng konti yung church wedding pero overall ok naman. Di ko lang nagustuhan yung isang principal sponsor na di sumunod sa dress code. Naka plastic "fake" melissa shoes sya at brown top and jeans. Sobrang off compared sa ibang ninang na naka dress. Almost panira sa photo ops. Tapos during the reception naman, on the way namin sa reception na-traffic kami palabas ng church eh December to pero sobrang init dahil tanghali. Nahirapan kami humanap ng parking kasi yung venue sa basketball court ng subdivision. Oks lang naman sakin to di ako maarte kaya lang upon arriving at the reception wala na kami maupuan ni hubby eh wala pa naman ako kilala na kahit sino except for the bride and her family. Ending napunta kami sa gilid na nag aantay ng mauupuan. Worst pa eh nag sset up palang sila ng tables and chairs tapos tanghaling tapat super init. Sa sobrang init at worried din si hubby saken kasi 1 month palang after ko manganak at baka mabinat pa ako sa sobrang init inaya nya nalang ako umuwi kasi wala kami maupuan. As much as I hate to go early pero nagpaalam nalang ako sa bride. Ending tuloy sa sobrang gutom namin ni hubby nakarating kami ATC para mag lunch sa Amici.

2. Yung wedding ng cousin ko. Madalian kasi yung preps dahil buntis na gf nya. Pero hindi naman issue yun. My aunt shouldered naman the wedding expenses and ok naman. Kaya lang parang feeling ko nadaya sila sa catering kasi sobrang konti magbigay ng food nung caterer. As in kakarampot yung nilalagay sa plate tapos yung mga principal sponsors lang yung special ang drink - iced tea! Hehe. Tapos yung relatives pa ng bride nasa labas lang nag aabang sa jeep kasi di kasya sa loob. I heard from my aunt na sa catering sila namahalan. Sayang lang kasi oks naman yung wedding.

3. Yung wedding naman ng Uncle ko sa province. Ok naman sana yung wedding kasi 10 years married na ang uncle ko pero civil lang before. So nung naging established na sila ng wife nya nagpakasal sila via church wedding naman. Oks naman yung church and venue kaya lang naging off dahil sa sobrang dami ng invited guests di nila napansin na may gate crasher na magnanakaw. Natangay daw yung 50k money nila na sana eh complete pambayad sa venue at sa caterer. Tapos dun sa hotel kung san ginanap yung wedding eh 3 sila nabiktima nung mga wedding crasher.

[ultimateseniorita]

May wedding crasher din sa wedding ng friend ko, ang masama isang tropa pa na hindi invited . Morning wedding sya pero angbilis umuwi ng ibang guests, parang eat and run ginawa nila sa friend ko. Nadisap-point na lang ang couple ng halos 8 na lang sumali sa games kasi nag-uwian na karamihan. Panira rin yung photobooth kasi ang usapan daw nila 4 hours pero parang 2 hours lang ginawa nila, umuwi agad, di na nagpaalam nung kinuha nila yung tf nila sa coordinator.

[soLaris]

i attended the wedding of bf's sister (abay kami parehas) last december.
tagaytay wedding ito mga sis saka makikita mo mahal nagastos  nila from the dress, photographer and reception.
we were up na at 4am tapos ang ceremony was at 9am. eto lang naman  iyung mga napansin ko that day;
1.) since ako nagmake-up sa sarili ko mas bongga pa itsura ko kesa sa mga abay. to think mahal iyung
per head na singil. hindi nagustuhan ng nanay at younger sister ni brother ang make-up nila parang mga
neophyte lang iyung mga hairdresser at make-up artist.

2.) sobrang tagal bago kami nakakain. mga 2pm na. to think natapos iyung wedding 10am tapos majo picture picture-an pa.
hindi namin tuloy naappreciate iyung food dahil sobrang late na at mahal pa nga daw iyung per head (P1,300)

3.) may uncle si bride na nagtatake-home ng mga pagkain. kakaloka lang.

4.) nauna muna programme bago pinakain mga guests na gutom.

kasal ng bestfriend ko, ako ang maid of honor... sa pasig ang kasal, yung groom galing ng tondo. Papunta na sa church yung bride which is less than 5 mins ride lang from the bride's house. Buti na lang sinubukan nyang tawagan muna yung groom and she found out na nasa bahay pa ang groom. Imagine, tondo to pasig, december pa.. hinihintay pa daw kasi ni groom yung uncle nya na may dalang fx. Kundi pa sinabi ni bride na wag nang hintayin at magtaxi na lang.. di pa din aalis yung groom.

Ayun, late si lalaki ng almost 3 hours! Yung ibang mga guests nakikita ko na bumibili na nang tinapay at softdrinks sa tindahan sa sobrang gutom... Tapos maya maya may lumapit na taga simbahan at sinabi na aalis na daw si father.. ayun super ngalngal talaga ang friend ko. buti na lang kilala nila yung pari at weekdays yun.. natuloy din! pero duling na kami lahat sa gutom....
