final meeting with suppliers
sabi ni may-ann, baka daw di pwede yung ibang suppliers ng weekday. sabi ko nakausap ko na sila and free naman daw sila. sabi nya bday daw nya kse sa tuesday. kaya sabi ko pwede namin i-reset ng wednesday kse kawawa naman sya kung bday nya tapos mag work sya. pero may wedding sya sa wednesday kaya sabi nya ok na sa kanya yung tuesday afternoon meeting.
we set the meeting at 5:30 pm sa baluarte de san diego para mas madali makapag usap ng final setup yung caterer and yung event stylist ko. syempre medyo late na ako nakaalis sa office kse may tinapos pa ako. around 5, most of my supliers are all texting me and andun na nga sila lahat sa baluarte. nakakahiya nga kse kami pa na late.
buti efficient si may-ann and nagsimula na sila mag usap kahit wala pa kami. so pagdating namin, we just need to give them our additional inputs and i-approve na lang namin kung ano napag usapan nila.
my cousin, pido, who is our event stylist gave us and all the suppliers yung final lay out sa reception and we love the lay out and yung design na sinabi nya. nag finalize na din kami ng menu sa batis asul but we have to inform them until jan 19 yung final head count ng guest namin.
we are also happy din with elfren of soud syndrome. nag request kse yung event stylist ko na mag dagdag ng 4 pang par ligths and he gave that to us for free. talagang totoo yung sabi sa w@w na sobrang daling kausap ni elfren.
after our meeting sa baluarte, inaya namin sila mag dinner sa pier one sa may buendia. parang bodning time na din with our suppliers. syempre we have to take care of them para talagang they will take good care of our wedding din. too bad, may-ann can't make it kse nga may bday party pa sya and elfren also kse may event pa sila sa coconut palace. it was a fun evening kse mega kwentuhan lang kaming lahat at biruan.
we're really happy with all our suppliers kaya we're confident that they can deliver well sa wedding namin. :-)
our invitation & souvenir
you can browse our webshots for more pictures of our invitation.
as for our souvenir, si howell pa din ang nag design. mahilig kse syang mag collect ng mga coins sa iba't ibang country na napuntahan namin. tapos, may nakita syang souvenir coins na tinitinda sa souvenir shop sa office nila and yun ang ginaya nya.
my uncle has an officemate na ganun ang businesss so doon namin pinagawa. we submitted our final design, and after i think 2 weeks nagbigay sila sa amin ng sample. wala kami sa philippines during that time kaya hindi na namin nakita yung sample nila. yung uncle ko na lang ang nag check.
here's the front side of our souvenir. the front part bears the image of manila cathedral plus our name and the date of our weddding.
since wala nga kami sa philippines noon nagbigay ng sample yung supplier, merong maliit na error yung back part. yung name ko instead na abigail, naging abegail. medyo nainis ako noong una ko tong nakita. naiyak pa nga ako sa inis eh. and i even wanted to look for another supplier and magpapagawa ulit kami ng 200 na coins. pero syempre naisip ko din sayang yung money and na convince naman ako ng mga mommy ko, tita and pinsan ko na ok na yun since maganda naman and hindi na yun ma notice ng mga tao, kaya i decided to let go na lang.
in fairness, maganda yung pagkakagawa ng supplier ng coins. nakuha talaga nila yung image ng manila cathedral and baluarte.
22 days to go before our big day
my 2nd fitting, etc., etc.
noong umaga, we went to farley de castro sa malabon para i-check yung mga sample ng works nya. hindi na kse kaya ni cecile gawin yung gown ng 2 kong tita na ninang so we have to look for another designer. syempre sa w@w ko din nakilala si farley.
basta, happy talaga ako sa gown ko. although di pa sya gaanong tapos kse wala pa yung train. sabi ni cecile, i can see the whole thing daw next week kaya sobrang excited na ako.
after kay cecile, we went to divisoria to buy the butterfly wings for our flower girls. nagpunta kami doon sa nirecommend ng tumahi ng gown ng flower girls namin pero medyo mahal yung wings nila tapos di pa masyadong maganda.
i remember when we went to divisoria mall, may nakita akong isang stand sa labas na mga ganon ang tinda. so inaya ko don yung pinsan ko. luckily, wala ng gaanong tao sa divisoria kse tapos na ang xmas at new year kaya madali lang namin nakita yung stand kaya we were able to buy the wings for our flower girls.
