Problems You Encounter Wile Planning Your Wedding Part 8

[maedonnas]

Girls! Finally may date na kami. Although in the end we opted for December 2017 na lang. Hopefully hindi kami mahirapan mgbook ng mga suppliers. At least may final date na para makapagstart na kami.
Si mother ko na lang un kinausap namin ng sister ko regarding sa date. Hopefully yan talaga yun best date para sa amin.

Glad it all worked out, i'm sure di ka mahihirapan sa pagbook ng suppliers lalo na you're planning a year ahead.

@ms.pharmer, congratulations for finally settling a wedding date! December 2017 din ako.

@LilaFowler, maganda yung church and kaya mapaganda lalo with styling

[ms.pharmer]

^ Thanks Nokie.  Wow parehas pala tayu. All set ka na??

meixin, ohh.. baka St. Paul the Apostle Church kami ehh Dun ka grumaduate??

maedonnas, hopefully hihi pero may mga nagsasabi nga na bilisan daw namin eh, kasi marami daw nakapagbook na kahit more than one year pa from their date. Waaah!! 

Kaloka ka sis LilaFowler, hahah Mahirap na, mamaya mamisinterpret ehh. hahha 

[LilaFowler]

Good news! We booked na the church. Masyado inconvenient for everyone yung malayong church so di na kami maghahanap.

I'm so grateful that the church is available on that date.

Rant lang - I found out today that Panglao church is not refunding deposits. They will only apply the paid deposit to another wedding - so my coordinator is out of pocket. My coord is going to be paying the deposit for this church and di nya mababawi yung money until may magbook again sa Panglao. With the renovations, who know when that will happen?

meixin, ohh.. baka St. Paul the Apostle Church kami ehh Dun ka grumaduate??

Oo sis dun ako naggraduate and tama nga sabi nila, kung target mo si century seafood better book it early, ang bilis niya sobra mabook lalo na kung "ho-dit" or "good day" for weddings yung date na nyo.. Yan yung unang nangyari sa amin, dapat ngayong October wedding namin kaso puno na si century at iba pang hotels in the area, kaya nausog to January yung amin. Sa lagay na yan one year ahead pa kami nun nung nagbbook kami kay century..

[Tincywincy]

^ naalala ko, since walking distance lang house namin from Century Seafood ang tagal ko na gusto matry yung food nila. but no, everytime pumupunta ako dun laging may wedding or private party. hahaha

[meixin]

^Oo sis lagi ngang meron.. nitong sunday lang na dumaan ako right after lunch, naabutan ko pa na may association event sa isang side, then kid's 7th Bday sa kabila. After both, naabutan namin na may naghahanda ng wedding on each side ng century seafood. Jam-packed!

[ms.pharmer]

Glad to hear that LilaFowler! May mga ganun nga ata talagang churches eh. Yun once ngdeposit, wala nang bawian. 

meixin , hindi ko alam na marami palang kinakasal din sa St. Stephen.  May discount kayo kasi alumni ka?

Tincywincy, oh? Try mo saturday ka pumunta para itry dun. Mas wala atang tao. heheh Madalas kasi Sunday may event talaga sa kanila eh..

[meixin]

^Ay sis I meant yung century seafood ang madami, hindi yung church namin hindi gaano madami nagpapakasal sa church namin, and may discount lang pag part ka nung church community. pag alumni lang wala hehe

[kaitlynmischa]

Guest list pa rin until now ang problem ko.  Ayoko lang when I hear my mom saying "Nakakahiya kay ganito ganyan" -- bakit nakakahiya? Hindi ko naman sila close. Even the ninangs and ninongs, padagdag ng padagdag, magadd ng ninong so dahil walang partner maghahanap ng ninang! Ugh! I can't say naman na I have limited guests because we have a budget to follow for I know my mom would go and say "Sige sagot ko na sila". Hanggang kasya ata sa ballroom hindi matatapos ang pag add. Haha natatawa na lang ako pero ang hirap!

*end of rant

[Tincywincy]

^ naku sis, si mom nag attempt din na mag take over sa guest list. pero sinabihan ko agad sya na ako mag ddecide kung ilan headcount na bbigay ko sakanya. I won't mind sino iinvite nya basta hanggang ganitong number of guests lang sa side nya. nafeel nya na magbbeast mode ako kaya tumigil naman agad. tee hee!

[ms.pharmer]

ahh hahah! Kala ko sa St. Stephen un maraming kinakasal meixin. Haha! Nga pala, hindi ba traffic dun?

^Naku.. Hmm, eh since nag offer naman siya eh, go ka na lang kaya? I mean tutal sasagut naman niya un guests niya eh? Sobrang dami ba??

awww. nakakastress nga yan. kahit ako minsan napapatanong sa sarili..."bakit nakakahiya?" pero honestly, nahihiya din ako na hindi mag invite. mejo kailangan ko lang i-remind sarili ko everytime na we have a budget to follow. and good thing, my mom is very supportive everytime sasabihin ko na small wedding lang ang gusto ko. hindi din naman daw sya magiinvite. but of course, i'll still give her a few slots for her own guests, probably relatives din naman namin from her side or colleagues nya. ang worry ko actually is the mother of the groom. hehe. since from abroad pa sya, baka madaming iinvite na amiga. haha.

[meixin]

Traffic nga hehe, kaya medyo mahaba ang pagitan ng ceremony at reception..

[kaitlynmischa]

Haha! Baliktad tayo sis, groom's side eh small family lang sila. Her mom and dad separated kasi, when his mom passed away he is not in contact anymore with that side of his family.  My mom naman she actually took out some guests which she thinks won't matter however she invited some of her amigas in exchange hahaha! okay lang naman at first but when nagadd na sya ng ninang ninong, medyo na-stress ako hehe. Di bale, I will tell her na tama na ang pag invite hahaha.

If you worry about MIL, tell h2b na may certain slots lang for friends of family. Hihi!

[meixin]

Di pa ba released ang invitations? Na RSVP for 1? hehe

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

We live in QC and Cavite, then, Laguna now, wedding is in Tagaytay on a Monday at 2 PM. We are secretly hoping na hinde lahat ng invited magpunta haha, of course yung mga dear to us, pero yung mga hinde na masyado, but we are quite obligated to invite like our mom's kumare na kachickahan every now and then.

Sakit sa ulo guest lists, buti nga sabi ng Caterer di kasama sa bilang sa Catering yung kids elementary level and below. If not, mas stressed siguro ako.

[exquisitegem]

Nice to hear that you finally booked a church LilaFowler
 

With regards to the guestlist, di pa kami nakakapagfinalize ng final list. We were open naman to our parents that the number of guests is limited. Though for our PS, may mga suggestion yung parents namin, so kinuha na lang din namin sila. We plan to have a total of 9 pairs.

[LilaFowler]

^ Thanks.

Totoong mahirap ang guestlist talaga. Kami rin nahirapan sa guestlist - we were worried madami masyado then we were worried walang mag attend.

My mom is sometimes difficult too. Madami syang suggestions na pinipilit nya talaga. I know she means well pero minsan nakakainis. Like when I had my venue problem and I considered having a beach wedding - ayaw nya kasi daw hahanginin
yung hair style nya (!!!). I lost my temper with her one time kasi we were throwing ideas around and lahat na lang she was trying to veto. I had to remind her it's my wedding.
