Mark and Ros

So I was talking to Ruby last Saturday during a lull in the activity. She’s one of the few who knows that there is something big happening next September. With just barely a year away, she mentioned that I should be booking the church already.

She’s even more agitated than I am!

The thing is, the church that I am eyeing is our neighborhood church. I am very adamant to get OLMMP due to sentimental and practical reasons.

Both Mark and I were baptized and confirmed at that parish.  We usually attend Sunday mass together at the church.

Getting married there will continue a tradition and will be less hassle to complete the requirements. Also, our current parish priest, Father Arnel, is in the process of renovating parts of the church making it more “photogenic”. That’s the icing on the cake.

I’ll be inquiring with the parish some time within the week. Ruby rattled me enough to really think that it’s crunch time.

Bagay naman di ba?

I didn’t expect that planning a wedding starting with looking for suppliers will immerse me into a whole different world.

They have their own language with the GFTs, h2b, HMU, and the like. Instead of dealing with choices that equal the number of fingers on one hand, I’m sifting through hundreds of fliers and brochures. My head is spinning with all the information that I’m getting from different sources.

It was actually enough to make me contemplate on simply just eloping.

For the lost:
* GFT – grand food tasting
* h2b – husband-to-be
* HMU – hair and make up
