Yay! I looked at our wedding announcer page and realised that there’s only that time left till the big day. wedding preps were put on hold for a while because of a sad news we received at the beginning of the month.
Wedding preps were temporarily put on hold because of this but before we return to the UK, we managed to meet with some of our suppliers (post to follow soon).
I have posted majority of our STD (SAve-the-Date and not the disease) magnets.

a couple of months before i started planning our wedding, i joined a very helpful wedding egroup. it was there where i got ideas, tips and information about different suppliers. i was active for a bit but due to my very busy sched, i lay lowed.
last january i started reading again and i read a post by a b2b (bride2be) in london asking if fellow brides would like to do their prenups here with john mateos ong, who happened to be her photographer too. i told her i was interested and asked what the terms were. as with standards, we will share the cost of the airfare plus the prenup fee. i was a bit hesitant at first since i know that it will be expensive but we both said that we’ll find some other couple willing to do the same and share expenses with us.

two things were our main consideration for reception venue. first was food, second is location. we want our guest to enjoy the food and don’t want them to suffer the famous las pinas/alabang december traffic so the palms was our first choice.
we also considered fernbrook gardens but we’re put off by rates increasing even before it was build and the fact that their add-ons are ridiculously priced, imo. i’m sure it turned out beautiful (we only looked at artist’s perspective, that time) but it wasn’t for us.
we had a meeting with ann zablan, the banqueting manager in june and found her to be very accomodating and easy to deal with. she’s very flexible too with the package inclusions so we’ve decided to book the palms.

I initially wanted a Tagaytay wedding. I had my heart set on the beautiful, intimate Chapel on the Hill. When G and i were about to do an ocular, we decided to drop by St James on the way to Tagaytay just to have a quick peek.
As soon as i saw the church, i fell in love. It was definitely a “THISisIT” moment. It was love at first sight but an unrequited one at that. I couldn’t tell G how i felt because i have already paid the reservation fee at CoH.
On the way to Tagaytay i tried to put St James out of my mind and set my mind on CoH. When i got there, it was the same as i remembered, serene and beautiful but i somewhat forgotten how far it was.
In the end, we decided that St James is the one for us.

there is no such thing as “too early” when planning your wedding. i found this the hard way when i wasn’t able to secure the date we want for the church that we want.
because of this, i decided to email the person i want to make gown and luckily, she said yes. so far i have booked the church and the couturier, i have a groom so what more do i need right?
welcome to the crazy world of wedding planning, overseas style.
