The Simplest Wedding One Can Imagine Part 2

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

Haha, practice lang yung una, eto totoo na haha! 

Tapos honeymoon pa diba, where's yours LilaFowler, we initially planned a Euro Trip kaso kulang na kami sa oras, imagine in a month, kasal, pre nup/STD shoot, and honeymoon. Halos 5 days lang kami sa honeymoon we have to go back sa work namin. So Maldives muna kami. Na hello, magastos din bongga!  But again, this is a once in a lifetime event. Haha! Unless practice palang din namin to. Magastos na practice.

[LilaFowler]

Di pa kami mag honeymoon after the wedding. Kasi I have to go back to work right after. Tax season kasi.

I'm thinking Japan pero H2B probably wants somewhere hot. So toss between Bora Bora or Maldives.

[lots-o]

For the 100 guest nasa more than 1M na yung amin. Kaso Mixed of high to mid range suppliers. Baka aabot pa ng 1.1M. I would rather classy nalang na simple and elegant yung amin. Ang dami add ons narin kasi.

^ayy grabeh hindi pa pala kasama honeymoon namin sa budget namin. But we'll delay our honeymoon s December na so we  have xmas bonus na and then yung leave namin para ma-maximized.

Super bow down ako sa girls who can pull off a very simple but elegant wedding at the same time because, it's something I cannot do. Super naaattract ako sa mga magagandang bagay when it comes to this wedding and ends up spending more

[exquisitegem]

^I agree. Kudos to those who can pull of a simple and nice wedding. I for one, dko din kaya kasi madami  akong kaartehan hehe.

[Tincywincy]

^ Well I'm pretty sure na nag fail man tayo sa pagiging cost-conscious, I'm sure hindi tayo magkukulang sa love bilang asawa. charot! hahaha

yan lagi kong sinasabi kay H2B everytime tinatanong nya kung bakit lalong lumalayo kame ng lumalayo sa max budget na initial plan naming. tee hee! kasi naman, ang mahal naman na din talaga magpakasal lalo na if we'll push for our ideal wedding (ideal palang, hindi pa yun dream wedding  ). food palang nag average na sa half ng price ng brand new car.

Wow. I wanted also an intimate wedding. Just don't know how to do this. March 2017 bride here.
Nuestra Senora de Gracia
City Garden Grand Hotel

And now that Ive seen videos of those na kinasal at nagvenue dito, parang gusto ko palitan.

May I know why sis?

[yn061515]

^sis, wag ka sa batangas magpapakasal kami 150 guests tapos may separate reception pa tatay ko sa house namin. haha! hindi yata applicable ang intimate sa batangas wedding haha!

-----

Naalala ko sabi nung wedding singer namin, our wedding was "Isa sa pinakasimple kasal yet sobrang sweet. Yung titigan nila ang isa't isa. Yung sweetness. Na ako ay nangilid ang luha. Sobrang sarap mainloveeee."

Mga ganung comments ang masarap marinig, hindi dahil maganda ang venue, or ang flowers, or ang gown.

sis simang batanguenia ka din ba? haha.
sa batangas po, 3 days before the wedding may patay baboy na non stop na ang tao.
may party the night before at may money dance na doon, meron pa din sa reception.

Oh well, ganyan sa probinsya at hindi man maganda sa paningin ng iba, masaya ang mga wedding parties doon! They don't invest on a 100k plus venue, at 1000 per plate catering service at 100k ulit sa styling. They spend the money on food, as in foooooood. umaapaw na food. 

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

LilaFowler , tara na sa Maldives. 

[pretty_B]

hayhayhaaays. lately, i've been thinking of having a civil wedding first, before church wedding para less hassle at mas simpleng kasal. not that plan namin na bonggang church wedding pero i always imagine na ako, si h2b, parents namin, a couple of PS plus a handful of relatives and friends, solved na!

Yes sis batangenya ako Ikaw din ba? We got married in Lipa. I specifically requested na hindi na kami mag "sayawan" the night before ng wedding para hindi sobrang pagod sa wedding day. When we told my dad na 150 max lang ang guests namin, medyo nalungkot sya kasi bukod sa laki ng family sa side ng dad ko, social butterfly din sya so ang dami nyang friends na gustong invite especially bunso ako sa family. So what happened to us was my husband and I did our own thing sa wedding namin --- 150 guests, technically out of town since i'm not from Lipa, with family and few friends lang. Limited budget din kasi kaya bilang ang guests. Tapos my dad held another reception sa house namin for his guests, talagang hindi nagpapigil.

And true, festive talaga ang wedding sa probinsya. As in literal na parang fiesta. Reception can go on for unlimited hours, and syempre unlimited food din.

[yn061515]

^ Yes sis, I am from Lipa! Wala din kaming sayawan at pinag-iisipan ko pa yung prosperity/money dance, hehe. My parents are both from Batangas talaga so... Tradition, tradition, tradition. 

[simang]

^from lipa ka pala sis.. i'm from Rosario naman, born and raised there. Nag money dance kami nung reception. Tapos may 'sabit' din for the principal sponsors (sobrang gastos nito nakakaloka, hahaha).

[shawliin]

hi sissies. buti na lang nakita ko itong thread na ito. hubby and i were married (civil) already. we have a child na. but we want to be blessed sa simbahan. pwede ba yung walang entourage? wedding rites only? sa reception naman we are planning a thanksgiving meal for our guests. max na 70 guests.

sorry kung may nakasagot na nito. hindi ako makabackread kasi. salamat ng madami.

[rowan]

^Hi Shawliin,

If you will just get the wedding rites and no mass, I believe that's free of charge for any church:) You just need to get a schedule:)

[bollin_pop]

Sis Shawliin - try to inquire sa parish nearest your address.
Ang alam ko this is allowed naman pero witness/sponsors ata is required.
Sa ibang parishes - may Kasalang Parokya din.

[shawliin]

Sis bollin_pop, I already inquired na. Yes, allowed sa church na gusto ko. Si hubby na lang i-convince ko kasi gusto nya church talaga. Eh ako naman eh nasa practical side lang kasi may anak na kami. Blessing ng simbahan naman talaga ang importante. Next year pa naman namin plan,

[bollin_pop]

^sis Shawliin - wow! More blessings to you and your family then!
Sobrang hanga ako lalo na sa couples who want to be blessed by the church.

Kaya ipush yan sis
Daming helpful GTalkers din who can give you leads.

Happy preps!

Dream ko talaga magkaron ng simple, romantic and intimate wedding. Sa max namin na 100 pax, nadadamihan pa ko pero no choice kasi ang daming gustong imbitahin si H2B, well for courtesy lang naman karamihan kasi ininvite din sya before sa kasal nila. Plano ko wag na magpa-games since yung crowd naman namin karamihan nasa 30s to 70s na. Gusto ko mag-enjoy nalang sila sa food and music. Tipong laid back lang talaga. I'll include sa RSVP kung meron silang gustong song na irequest para ipapaplay ko sa Quartet. I'm thinking wag narin magphotoboot kasi for sure mag-sselfie naman sila sa mga phones nila and andyan naman yung photog team kaya feeling ko tuloy redundant na kung magpphotoboot pa kami. What do you think sa idea na to mga sis?

[bollin_pop]

Sis parpol haze - mas intimate, mas solemn - ok na ok

Wala kami games sis noong reception - pre-selected yung tatanggap ng bouquet and garter at nilagyan lang ng kaunting twist.

Pili lang din ang guests namin - mostly close friends and relatives.

You're  correct almost lahat naman may phones.

The reason why we have photobooth kasi request lang ni Hubby and wala kaming souvenirs. I had to look for a supplier na super affordable rate and swak sa budget. 😉

It's up to you and H2B naman din.
