i suggest na magresearch research ka na. yung iba kasi nagbu book agad sa suppliers para maabutan nila mas murang rates. depende yun kung gaano ka-in demand yung suppliers na gusto mo. Halimbawa sa church- Manila Cathedral, in demand yun.. yung mga well-recommended-but-so-far-affordable-coordinators, dapat maaga talaga i-book. kasi ako di ko nakuha yung top choices ko talaga ka na coord. although happy naman ako sa current coord ko. di naman ako nagregret kasi the next talaga after we got engaged, nagstart na agad ako mag-prepare.
april 9 yung engagement. pero years before pa, even while nasa law school pa ako, nag reresearch research na ako kahit di pa ko sure kung kami na nga magkakatuluyan. basta as a girl siguro, i wanted to research early sa look and feel na gusto ko for my wedding. so i already had pegs for wedding gowns, inivites, reception decor, theme, venue, shoes, entourage clothes, souvenirs, etc. noon. tapos mga ilang years pa lang naitatayo yung mga mango farm and iba pang wedding venues na sikat na ngayon. kala ko nga sa mango farm din ako ikakasal, kaso booked na rin sila nung nag-inquire ako. nung nakahanap naman ako, biglang tinext nila ako na available na daw yung date ko. haha. iniisip ko kapag ganun na talagang not meant to be lang.
things change kasi noon, mexican fiesta themed wedding talaga yung pinag kaabalahan ko iresearch na theme. alam ni bf yun nung mga panahon na yun na mahilig ako magreserch for my wedding kaya alam niya na more or less kung ano style na wedding gusto ko. we were supposed to look for a mariachi band pa nga.
pero dahil sa iba pang mga factors, and as professionals, we had to adjust din na gawing mas formal at mas "mature" yung theme namin...so i picked a theme na gusto ko rin naman. but not as colorful as i imagined when i was 20 years old pa lang..
around 2 years before my bf proposed, he talked to me na about his plan to save for our wedding and our future together. as in after a date, while on the way sa bahay, he talked to me about the computations that he made. haha. OC kasi yun pagdating sa money matters. ako naman sa planning aspect. at style. so when he proposed i have been waiting for it. and was actually starting to get anxious kung kelan kaya darating yung araw na yun. haha. and ganun pala yun, kahit na hinihintay mo na mangyari, maooverwhelm ka pa rin at masspeechless for a while kasi parang panaginip talaga. kahit na simpleng proposal lang yun. walang video, walang candle light, walang music, walang ibang tao. and i was definitely not dressed for his suprise on that memorable morning.
haha sorry mga sis for the long post and kuwento about my engagement. haha. konti lang kasi nashare-an ko about it.
