2012 Brides *Part 13*

[andylhen]

think positive sis.. maaraw naman kahit sinabi na may bagyo.. and hindi naman manila ang tatamaan.. ilang beses nang palpak ang PAGASA.. pag sinabing uulan, may araw.. kung kelan may araw saka uulan..

[mafiapenguins]

mga kapatid, hindi tatama sa lupa si Butchoy...ibig sabihin hindi masyadong malakas ang hangin, pero may rainshowers pa rin since may habagat sa west, hihilahin yun ni butchoy na nasa east.

may mga rarampa ba this week? mamayang hapon ang due ni butchoy till gabi. hopefully by tomorrow or sat, fly na sya.

sun dance na mga kapatid

Hi! Pwede din mag-join? October 22 kami.  Best wishes sa mga ikakasal this second half of june :-)

[geekybride]

sis sunflowers, a few days difference lang natin. kamusta preps mo? kumpleto ka na ba?

[Sunflowers]

Hi sis geekybride :-)  when ang wedding nyo?  Booked na major suppliers namin, but bigla ako nastress last week. I realized na time to work on the documents na pala, like application for marriage license, cenomar, etc.  I still need to file petition for change of name, meron kasi discrepancy sa nso :-( hopefully, maayos agad.  Kumusta preps nyo? Complete na?

[geekybride]

sis sunflowers,
almost complete na.  mga abubot na lang (DIYs, and small details).  in fact, baka july na ko makapagresume sa preps (dami work eh). 
naku, may change of name ka pa pala. hope everything would go smoothly.  ako kailangan ko ng panibagong cenomar. mageexpire yung cenomar namin sa july. hahaha.

[Sunflowers]

Thanks sis geekybride, and congrats, almost complete ka na. Good luck on your DIYs :-)

[chelle_peachy0524]

congrats sis babyhoney... inggit much! ang gaganda ng pics nyo with JR Salonga congrats... mahihirapan ka for sure sa pagpili ng mga pics na ilalagay sa album kapag nareceive mo na yung copy mo

[sakuramie]

hello! December bride here..ngayon ko lang 'to nakita dun kasi ako tumatambay sa engagements and weddings.

[akin_dc]

sis cerenity_18 oo nga nalolost na rin ako dito! hahaha! nasa kabila na kasi tayo madalas eh..

kwento lang po.. nasa bahay na namin ang invitations! yippee! was planning to have at least 20 pcs shipped here kaya lang feeling ko super expensive aabutin, kasi minimum ng DHL ay P2,300 for 0.5kg, a little more than 1kg daw ang 20pcs invites!

Rings, nakabili na si h2b! yiieeee! he'll pick it up today.. (sana wag malimutan :p)

Docs: kumpleto na docs ni h2b as required by the diocese. Wahaha, dali kausap ng mga tao sa Sg eh.. ako hindi pa nakakakuha ng freedom to marry cert sa church.. :p

Banns: sa wakas nakuha na rin! hopefully by Sunday mapost na sa aming parishes..

[sakuramie]

Hi sis geekybride! medyo panic mode na pero tingin ko naman we're still on tract. Si h2b di makapagdecide kung kukuha ng strings or band, parang napapadalas akong tanungin ng "by, ano ba maganda strings or band?" haha...eh lagi ko naman sagot sa kanya parang mas bet ko ang strings, tapos mag-iisip na naman sya..napkwento na..hehe... so far kasi dito kami natagalan magdecide, ewan nga ba dun.. 

[geekybride]

sis sakuramie,

wow ganda nga talaga pag may live music (whether band or strings). kami di na aabot sa budget kaya pipe-in music na lang hehe.  if you wanna break the tie dahil pareho ninyo gusto, maybe you can consider the age group of the majority of your guests?  young-ish crowd might appreciate the band more, while the mature-ish crowd might appreciate the strings more? just a quick thought.

[sakuramie]

sabi ko nga sis sa kanya eh. i don't know what's holding him to book the strings. siguro kasi di nya pa naeexperience pakinggan tumugtog yung strings ng live.

sis, nagkaron na ba kayo ng EB? parang may nabasa kasi ako nung nagback read ako..

[geekybride]

sis sakuramie,
july pa po. pero pwede rin mag-pre-EB.  naisip namin kagabi lang ni sis andylhen na since halos nasa magkabilang kalsada lang ang office namin (sa ortigas), magkita na lang kami. lapit ka ba dun?

Suppliers Rating:
Highest: 5

Church: 4.9
Ka-ching power: 12,000 + 500 (video fee)
St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church
Super helpful ang church admin office. Come wedding day, nadelay ang processional march kasi nasita dw ni father ang videographers. Where in fact we already paid for the video fee. Si Ms. Pia na binayaran ko ng full payment and the said video fee, approached me inside the
bridal car and asked if we already paid for it. Sabi ko yes, pero after nun ayun, saka pa lang nagstart. Ceremony supposed to start by 230pm pero I think it started around 3:15pm. Overall the homily was good, officiating priest was good, everything went well.
I will still recommend this church. But don't forget to give your receipts with your WC hehe.

Hotel for prep: 5
Ka-ching power: 10,000
Linden Suites Hotel, Ortigas
We booked for 2 Executive rooms with 2bedrooms. Nun nagcheck in na kami, wlang available sa executive so they offer us the 3bedrooms instead. I got no choice but that was okay naman. Super spacious. As in super pede ka pang tumambling pabalik balik. Check out time namin is 12pm, napakiusapan naman namin to extend until 2pm. Kaso nun 130 palang pinapacheck out na kmi haha, pero okay na rin at least libre pa rin ang late check out.

But then if you are after the food I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them

Mang Boy Mahusay
I said this before, I know I'll get what I paid for but it was very very disappointing. Hindi nasunod ang mga flowers na sinabi nila sa contract at nalanta na kagad ang flowers ko sa hotel palang. Pero okay lang, di ko msyado priority ang flowers sabi ko nga, yun lang nadisappoint lang ako kasi di nila sinunod yung mga flowers na napagusapan at yung set up. 12 na sila dumating imagine, 12 na sila dumating at by 1:30pm lanta na ang bouquet ko hahah nakkaloka lang.
Pero pasalamat na rin lang ako at my flowers parin na dumating. I'm happy though, napasaya ako nung flowers na nalalagas from my bouquet.
