Heya sis mysterioza_me, yes sa mga tito/tita lumaki ang fiance as both parents busy sa work overseas. Yes invited sila sa wedding pero hindi pa namin nafinalize kasi we're considering (sino talaga ang mga need isama provided they all have kids too). We told both our families, wedding budget will come from me and FH alone (no help required).

Much to our surprise, the FMIL said we should invite FH's aunts/uncles with free airfare.  Hindi kasama sa budget namin yun, kasi ang akala namin the fact na ilipat sa PH ang wedding for most relatives to attend is as a sign of gratitude na. LOL.
To be honest, I'm venting regarding the fact that because we have the capacity to pay, walang pasintabi ang demands. Pag nilibre namin, anong guarantee na  hindi ipush with free accommodation and transpo? ;/

^Ang dami naman nagpalaki kay fiance (8 people talaga). Napakakulit ba niyang bata?! Hahaha. Lumaki ako sa grandparents ko and surrounded din kami ng uncles and aunts. Pero isang aunt ko lang talaga ang may significant role sa buhay namin magkakapatid. So kung ako ang ikakasal (kaso nga hindi ako) ililibre ko lang grandma ko (my grandpa passed away na) and 1 aunt who really nurtured us. Yung mga naiwan dalhan ko nalang ng keychains at ref magnets pag-uwi namin.

Anyway, Hindi ba nila pwedeng i-consider na gift na lang nila sa inyo ang pagsagot sa airfare nila (and accomodation)? I mean hindi naman natatapos lang sa pagpapakasal ang lahat. After ng ceremony and merry-making may buhay kayong haharapin at pagkakagastusan. Sana maintindihan nila yun. More or less siguro nasa 10k/person ang gastos sa airfare+accomodation+food tipid na tipid na yan. Nakakaiyak yung 80k na additional expenses 😅😅😅

Yes sis mysterioza_me, sa uncles and aunts sya lumaki prior to migrating overseas. Okay lang sana kung mga 5k per person na gastos to, but frankly thats far from reality. Hindi pa kami formal na nagiinvite, but I guess MIL dropping hints na sa side nila.


Nakakawalang gana, like you've saved 30-50k for researching/ booking everybody early, sa free airfare for relatives lang din pala mapupunta.


Siguro naisip niya na since kaya gastusan ang wedding team na dalhin sa destination, sabayan nya ng relatives nila. LOL.

... and so before the day ends I somewhat got a confirmation from my AE na alanganin ang size ng reception hall for my number of guests.  :-\

my AE emailed me the layout of the previous banquet they had dun sa reception hall for my wedding and it looks like sakto sakto lang yung hall for 150 guests. kaya lang the problem is h2b and I are going for 200 guests. so I'm crossing my fingers na pag all long tables nalang gagamitin naming eh magiging mas maluwag at kakasya lahat ng 200 pax (at sana payag si caterer for no extra charge to use long tables instead)

worst case eh magbabawas kame ng guests. sana hindi naman ganun kadami yung kelangan naming ibawas sa number of guests in case  :-[

Hi mga sis. Pa-rant lang sandali. Our wedding is 3months away and i understand and very grateful of the concerns of my friends. TBH, hindi pa naman ako nagpa-panic kahit may mga suppliers pang hindi pa booked dahil may mga napili na kami. Suggestions are acceptable kaso grabe lang maka-impose ng gusto nila.
 My h2b and i are nontraditional peeps, may traditions na hindi namin gustong gawin sa kasal kaso yung iba mega-gatong talaga na gawin namin to at ganyan. I respect traditions pero if it will not offend our church and families ok lang naman hindi gawin db? At the end of the day, it is our wedding and we want our personalities to show.
Ayun lang mga sis. Sorry for the long post. I've said this to friends pero iba pa din magsabi sa kapwa bride to be.
Good luck to our preps 😊

Hi sunnnyside sis! I think I understand where you're coming from and I somehow have the same problem.

Sinasabi ko lang sa lahat "Please understand that I am not the only one involved with this decision. This is what [Name of H2B] and I have decided together." OR "It's our day and this is what's going to make us happy."

Minsan magiimpose pa ng pamahiin. Sasabihin ko naman, "Ay sorry but I'm too afraid to lose my faith in God to follow such superstitions." That's how I really feel though... ;D

^ Oo sis. baka sobrang dilim na rin kung outdoor wedding. Naalala ko rin yung iba sasabihin pa na "Wala namang mawawala pag sinundan mo pamahiin", pero para sakin I actually lose something. I lose my faith and trust in the Lord that He will not allow bad things to happen without a good reason.

Oh, congrats pala sa pag-graduate sis! :D

^salamat sis! Good to know someone understands fr my POV. 😀 May natutunan pa akong diplomatic na isasagot from you. Lol.

Talagang diplomatic ha. hehe ;D Mangungulit pa mga yan, especially the oldies. kapit lang and goodluck sating lahat sa preps. Nandito naman kaming mga fellow brides just in case ;D

Just want to vent out. I'm having a hard time dealing with my entourage gowns couturier. November, naibigay ko na yung measurement ng mga abay. Ang ayos ng usapan. During our meeting when we finalized the contract and settled 50% DP, I mentioned na it won't be possible for the ladies to be measured by him personally kasi 1 lang ang nasa manila, 3 are working abroad and 3 are from other regions here in Ph. So nagpasukat pa mga ladies sa ibang sastre and they sent me their measurement at sinend ko yun sa couturier. Our agreed date of completion e last week of December kasi ipapadala ko sa mga abay and if there will be alterations, kanya kanya na sila sa pagpapaayos. He failed to deliver on the agreed date, sabi nya January na lang since on a holiday leave mga staff nya so pumayag ako. Then January 18 until pinospone ulit ng January 22. We went there yesterday with my MOH and my future MIL, and to my dismay, wala pa natapos! At gusto nya sukatan sila for base fitting! Naloka kami. Kasi usapan nga wala nang base fitting kasi it won't be possible. Eksena talaga kahapon. Nagsagutan kami and all, pati si h2b, MOH ko at future MIL. We ended up cancelling the gowns for mothers pero for the entou and flower girls gown, we gave an ultimatum until thursday para madeliver nya.

exquisitegem Oh my gosh! Sis, nakakagalit yan, sino yan? Lately andaming couturier na palpakin, sana hinay hinay sila sa pagtanggap kung kulang manpower nila and anticipated nila na dadaan holidays. I hope matapos talaga nila sa Thursday, or else baka mas ok mahanap na ng ibang option? Feb. 18 ka right?

Yung gown mo, kamusta?

^okay naman yung gown ko sis. Final fitting na sa 1st week of feb. Kampante ako dun kasi sya yung may-ari ng gowns ko nung prenup.

Naiyak nga ko kahapon sa stress nung nandun kami. Bastos pati makipag-usap. Hindi maamin pagkakamali nya. He's putting the blame on us. Sabi ni h2b, ayokong umabot to sa kasuhan. Kasi hanggat maari ayoko gamitin ang title ko dito (lawyer kasi sya). Kaya medyo nakampante ako kasi siguro naman ayaw din nya umabot sa point na kakasuhan namin sya. Nakakastress lang kasi pati mga abay ko, gusto na nila makuha yung gown para masukat na nila at mapaadjust pag need. E kahapon as in wala pa. Kumbaga skeleton pa lang. kaya naloka kami. Pati flower girls gown wala sya maipakita.

Oo nga sis buti hindi sya. Although lately nakakabasa ako ng negative review sa kanya sa wawie na mahirap nga daw kadeal pero okay daw yung output. Syempre kahit ok ang output, di pa rin matatawaran ang stress. Sya lang ang ganyan sa mga suppliers ko. I'm praying maayos until Thursday, if not hahanap kami iba gagawa and check namin ano pwede gawin sa contract since may breach na nangyari.

Thanks sis. Gusto ko lang ilabas kasi kagabi napaiyak talaga ako. Grabe haha Okay na ko ngayon.

Oo Sis, Since Feb. 18 ka, if Thursday wala pa din matinong output, hanap na since almost 3 weeks pa din naman. Im sure madami pa magagawang paraan, ilan ba ento mo? Bale 7? Right?

Haha good to know, at least sa pagvent mo, nakapagrelease ka na ng stress, medyo naremind pa kami to follow up on our Suppliers. Nagsisimula na din ako mangalampag. Haha!  :D

^oo sis. Bale 13 ang pinagawa namin na gowns 1 MOH, 3 SS, 3 BM, 3 FG and 3 mothers (kasi sinama namin yung isang tita ni H2b). Ngayon kinancel namin ang sa mothers.

Feb 18 sis. Kaya may time pa naman. Yun nga lang baka hindi na namin masend sa mga abay if ever. Kasi ipapadala sana namin through LBC pa dahil karamihan sa kanila e 1 day before the wedding na ang dating sa Manila kaya wala na talagang time ipa-alter pag di namin maipadala unless saktong sakto ang sukat. Tska one of the reasons din na gusto namin makita sana ang output kasi charmeuse satin ang fabric, hindi yung usual na chiffon. Kaya need namin makita kung maganda.

Oo sis, dapat follow up lang din. Ako naman hindi nagfail sa pagfollow up since December. Pero nagkaproblema pa rin hehe

Hi sis exquisitegem! So sorry to hear what happened to you. :( Tama ka di matatawaran ang stress kahit maganda pa yung output kaya maghanap ka na lang nga ng iba. Lately dami talagang ganyan na designers madami din kami bad experience pero di ko na lang ininda. Mas ok sana by this time kampante na kayo ni h2b dahil malapit na wedding nyo. I'm sure madami naman kayo mahahanap pa na mas magaling, professional, at mas mabait kesa sa designer mo. :) Best of luck sis sa paghahanap. :)

@Xgbride17 sis bakit hinde si FMIL ang sumagot ng airfare for the 8 relatives? tutal siya naman nagpaalaga sa kanila, kumbaga siya etong may utang na loob sa kanila diba (sorry medyo harsh) not your FH. or kahit siguro hati sila ng FH mo?

naalala ko lang nung wedding ko, may mga pina-add MIL ng guests nagpaalam naman sakin. Medyo ayaw ko pa nung una eh kasi nga hinde ko kilala mga yun, ginawa ni hubby inisa isa explain sakin yung additional guests at sino yun sa buhay nilang mag-ina hahaha hinde niya din naman masyado kilala basta mga friends daw ni MIL, nung pumayag ako nagbigay agad ng budget si MIL para dun sa pinadagdag niya.

^Sis exquisitegem, I'm sorry to hear that. Since I know sino yun, medyo kinabahan ako for my ento's dresses. 😔 Hindi ako kinakabahan sa output kasi I got two dresses from him na and on time naman. I love it both. I hope he'll be able to deliver on Thursday. So far okay naman ang transaction namin. sana maging smooth until the end.
