Wedding Itinerary during the Holidays! (Wheew!)

Booking for the Holidays wasn't just about spending Christmas at home with the family...Ever since our 1-year countdown mark, I, for one became too preoccupied booking appointments and making the most out of the vacation.

We took advantage of the holidays that we are in Manila to meet as much suppliers as we can.

First on the list was of course, doing our ocular at Emperor Event Center in Antipolo...This will be the first time that we get to see where we will be officially saying our "I Do"s...We scheduled an appointment on 22nd of December with Gino, our Account Executive.

Next on our list was meeting our Wedding Coordinator, Ayie! Good thing, out of her busy schedule -- and due to the month, being a Wedding Season...she was able to squeeze us in and meet us. We scheduled to meet her on the 29th December.

We also managed to set a meeting with Agie, of Cheesecake to discuss on our Entourage Gowns. Cheesecake specializes in making Infinity Gowns, a gown we opted to consider since it's basically hassle-free in a lot of factors, from size...to design....plus its cheaper compared to having a Custom-Made Gown. Luckily, I contacted Agie and booked a bit early so she was still able to accommodate meeting us despite her sunod-sunod na appointments. Our schedule with her will be on 28th of December.

So far, on the Suppliers List, these three are the ones I was able to book appointments with.

Hoping for more things to accomplish while we are in Manila! 

Till the next update!

Cheers! <3

Booking our Venue - Emperor Event Center

We are finally booking our venue! And slowly our dreams are coming to reality!

Although we have yet to do our own ocular of the place, we have entrusted the decision to my Mom and Dad who went to visit and do the ocular on our behalf.

The place had a garden, for the ceremony...and across it was the Glass Hall for the reception. The place also had a Pavilion with bridal suite and two other bedrooms. The whole resort also had 3 additional rooms that can be used at an additional price.

Fiance and I got interested with the venue since we were informed that the Pavilion can roughly accommodate around 50pax. With that in mind, we may be able to have our whole entourage sleep over the night before the wedding.

Below are the pics of the place.

The place has its own pool that we can use the day after the wedding.

When we go back to Manila for the Holidays, we will be visiting this venue for the first time. Hope we get the "This is it-Moment".

Cheers! <3

1 Year to Go!!! No longer a Miss... :)

It is officially 1 Year to go before the big day, 14 November 2013...and how time flies by so fast...I feel like it was only yesterday that I got engaged. Up to this point, after 4 months from my engagement, I'm still mesmerized when I see something sparkling by my ring finger every time I type in my keyboard. Lol!

Reality is slowly starting to kick-in...that this day next year will be the day I will be entering yet a new chapter in my life! No longer a MS. but a MRS...No longer one...No longer Single... :)

I've always felt overwhelmed with the turn of events in our lives. And I am forever blessed because, despite the "downs" accompanied with "ups", every little thing eventually falls into its rightful place.

Thank you so much Lord God!!! I'm in Bliss and I am Blessed!

Cheers!
