Parang coincidence lang at may ganitong post. Kasi just a few minutes ago, bigla ko lang naalaala yung wedding ko and started searching ulit yung mga suppliers ko..

Hindi rin kasi ako happy sa wedding ko. Grabe, 3 years na hindi pa ako completely naka-move-on. Ang active ko na board sa pinterest puro about sa weddings. Aaminin ko fault ko rin. Hindi sapat yung research ko and price talaga ang major consideration ko sa pagpili ng supplier. Ang resulta, cheap din.

Hindi ko na babanggitin yung name ng suppliers. Naging nice naman sila sa akin. Ang taas lang siguro ng expectation ko. Eto yung mga hanggang ngayon I wish pwede ko pang baguhin:

*Gown -- ok naman yung gown ko. As in pwede na. Once ko lang siya na fit. as in yung upper part lang ng lining pa yun. Walang laylayan whatsoever. Nakita ko na lang yung gown ko a week before nung wedding so wala na akong time mag-inarte. Ok, nagkasya naman pero ang ganda kasi nung peg ko. Hawig naman. Pero yung lang siya. Hawig.

If pwede ko ibalik ang panahon, sana ako ang bumili ng lace na gusto ko. At nagfit ako at sinilip-silip ko yung development nung gown. Ang dami din issue sa gowns ng bridesmaids ko. Hindi malinis ang pagkakayari. Ang daming reklamo ng mga BMs ko.. Yung isa nga bumili na lang ng sarili niyang damit kasi hindi nya gusto yung dress. Hay!

*OTD Coor - eto ang stress ko talaga. Hindi nila ako kinausap nung event mismo. Doon na kami sa simbahan nagkita. Ang souvenirs sa mga ninong/ninang, get one and pass ang pagbibigay. E personalized yun na may engraved na names nila. Hindi ko alam if napunta ba sa tamang tao yung gifts. Ang guest books hindi man lang napapirmahan. Wala akong naramdamang supporta from them. At grabe, nauna pa daw sa guest magpapicture sa photobooth. well, fault ko kasi kinuha ko sila dahil ok naman yung review nung nagrecommend na officemate ni hubby. yun lang ang kaisa-isang feedback pero pinatulan ko na. Again, kasi mura.

*photo video-ok sana ito. pero yung main photog lang pala ang bihasa. yung pics ko ok. pero yung pics sa preps ni hubby ko, grabe nakakaiyak. parang pinapwesto sa kurtina na background yun na. wala man lang regard sa background na nakuha sa paligid or yung lighting. sa sobrang disappointed ko nawalan ako ng gana ipaprint yung photos. so after 3 yrs, hindi ko inasikaso ang pagpili ng pics na ilalagay sa album. pero narealize ko, ni hindi man lang sila nagfollowup. worry ko ngayon, baka nagsara na sila. goodbye na lang sa wedding video namin. ang konsolasyon ko na lang e hindi pa naman sila fully-paid. 10% pa nung total balance ang hindi namin nabigay.

*hotel-nakakatawa eto ang hindi namin nabook. so after ng wedding doon kami nagstay sa vacation house na nirent namin for the guests. di na kasi doon natulog yung guests namin after ng wedding dahil nagkanya-kanya na ng uwi. sobrang unromantic nung first night namin ni hubby. as in parang umuwi lang kami sa bahay. single beds pa yung mga kama na hindi na namin binother na ipagtabi.

*transpo-umaga after ng wedding, balik kami doon sa hotel kung saan naka-stay yung families namin. hindi na nagrenta ng sasakyan si hubby para sa family nya na maghahatid sa airport. so kami pa ang naghatid pa-manila (sa tagaytay kasi yung wedding). feeling ko cinderella lang ako, pagstruck ng 12 midnight agad-agad, back to normal na. hindi ko man lang nanamnam ang moment ng bagong kasal.

kung tutuusin hindi naman totally disaster yung wedding namin. pero knowing what i know now, i wish nagresearch ako ng maigi at hindi nagscrimp sa mga importanteng suppliers.

kinukulit ko nga si hubby na wedding ulit kami. tinawanan lang ako. oh well, ang mahalaga naman talaga in the end is ang happily ever after.

I can so relate to this! I posted this in the suppliers review thread din.

Our wedding wasn't bad and we even got featured in 4 different wedding blogs. Mga guests hindi masyado pansin kasi super ok yung ibang suppliers namin. It's just that our coordinator/emcee supplier eh sobrang palpak as in sana we didn't get them na lang.
Pagtapos ng wedding, may mga ilang debriefing sessions kami with families/relatives na involved sa preps kasi nga ang daming hindi nagawa at sila ang napagod.
Imbis na 100% percent happiness, malaki yung inis factor. Imagine, long engagement kami. Ang tagal na pinagplanuhan at pinagipunan tapos masisira lang ng ibang tao :-\

I think the negative emotions lasted for about 1 and a half months then when the P/V suppliers gave us the raw shots (nakakainis na makita sila dun). I also stopped looking at anything wedding-related for a few weeks kasi nakakadepress na maalala yung mga nangyari.

How to be ok? I just started focusing on the positive aspects like how people were saying we had a gorgeous wedding. People who were close to us had wedding hangover until weeks after. May wedding high din lalo na when the features came out! Most important of all, marital bliss is just wow :-*

So yeah. Go be angry, frustrated, depressed, etc.! Sa mahal ng kasal ngayon at sa laki ng effort ng preps, we have every right to be disappointed if things don't go according to plan.
I do hope that time will heal the pain for you sissies too..

I can somehow relate. Hindi talaga maiiwasan ang flaws sa isa sa pinaka importanteng event ng buhay natin. Here are some of the problems I had:
1. Coordinator -during prep time nagkagulo ng slight regarding food for them. Ang usapan namin 2 lang ang coord sa hotel pero 5 ata silang andun. Kasi meron silang isa pang client na andun sa same hotel na kasabay namin ng wedding day. Ang sikip tuloy namin sa room dahil lahat sila nakasiksik dun. Then, after the event may mga things silang hindi na iturn over samin like hair pins, box ng wedding rings,etc. I know small things lang yun but they should have returned those to us right after the event. Napansin ko na lang na parang andaming kulang sa gamit na binigay ko the day after na.
2. Caterer - mali ang spelling ng name ni hubby sa place cards. Yung Chester naging Lester!!! Nakakaloka lang! Tapos yung seat plan for PS and BM/GM hindi nasunod. Dapat lahat ng PS magkakasama sa isang table. Then sa kabila naman ang BMs and GMs. Ang nangyari halo halo na silang lahat!
3. Photog - eto talaga ang depressing sa lahat. Last month sinabihan ako na nawala daw ang external hard drive at laptop ni photog. So in short, wala kaming matinong pictures. May back up photog naman kaso yung mga kuha namin mga hindi nakatingin sa kanya. We were looking at the main photog all throughout the event. We will be meeting with them para pag usapan kung anong pwedeng gawin. Iniisip ko na lang na kunyari di kami nag hire ng photographer!!! Worse come to worst I will ask a full refund. Eto talaga yung iniyakan ko.

Dumating din ako sa point na ayokong nakakakita ng wedding pictures posted on FB. Sobrang naiinggit ako sa kanila. But what can I do? Hindi naman maibabalik ng inis ko yung mga nawalang pictures. Nag fofocus na lang ako sa happy married life namin ni hubby and to our little angel on my tummy.. ☺

:( sad naman. sobrang unfair ng mga irresponsableng suppliers na yan. bakit kasi di ilagay sa contract nila na pag pumalpak sila sa kasal, e sila ang magbabayad sa couple. ang unfair diba?

I have this ill feelings towards sa isang supplier namin for our wedding. hair and make up. she has good reviews dito sa gt. but i feel na parang lagare siya tapos lately, tsaka may nakita na rin akong reklamo sa w@wies. i want to fire her bigla. Late pa daw lagi at tagal reply. hay!  pet peeve ko pa naman ang late tsaka di nagrereply.

^ yun din sis minsan nagiging issue sa mga nara-rave at nakikilalang suppliers. Sad but true. Pag madami ng queries at clients nagsusuffer na ang quality, to think na they take those compliments minsan as a reason to raise their professional fees and rates. Not all naman that's why those suppliers that keep their promises, maintain their humility and don't compromise their service quality deserve kudos :) and take the praises from their clients to better themselves. Nung wedding ko din may flaws and madalas naiisip ko pa rin. Bawi na lang sa renewal of vows hihi at least I know better now and aware na ko who to book and who to avoid.

sis Reynamargallo better think twice sa supplier na yan. Ganyan pakiramdam ko sa coord ko before ng kasal. Ang dami nyang nalilimutan i-email at itext. Though mabilis naman sya sumagot sa text tapos tumatawag naman. Kung mababalik ko lang yun, susundin ko yung gut feeling ko. Hinde ko na panghihinayangan yung dinown ko sa kanya. It turned out sa lahat ng suppliers sya lang pumalpak.

Sis, sorry ha, pero natawa ako dito  :) I was imagining your hubby's face when he saw the cake; kakaloka talaga. Buti naman di sya na-stress!

(Must have been running through his head: Sino tong Lester na ito? Ako ba ang kinasal? Baka sa iba dapat itong cake?)  :)

hi hypergalactix16, that is so sad! we also didn't invite many of my relatives and i don't really care if they consider me persona non-grata in family reunions (which i don't attend anyway since i work abroad but contribute to) because of that. these people do not know anything about us as a couple and contributed nothing to our relationship so they're off the guest list.
i hope you have gotten over your civil wedding experience and you look forward to your church wedding. just don't invite those people anymore and stick to your guns about what you want to happen in your wedding.

hypergalactix13, naiinis ako para sayo. :( What should have been a joyous occasion turned sour dahil sa mga relatives mo. I hope your church wedding turns out better and to echo 120515, ditch those relatives and invite those who have been supportive of your relationship. It's about you and your husband, not them. :P

Just learn to appreciate nalang your husband and what you have.  Wala naman perfect, even the ones with exorbitant budget have to deal with stress din sa weddings.

Nakaka sad naman to mga sis. Especially yung hindi maayos na photo and video kasi yun talaga ang matitira sa inyo after the wedding. :( Kaya dapat talaga maging meticulous tayo sa pag book ng mga suppliers.
