Mark and Ros

It’s just so overwhelming how much we have been able to do in the past few months. Bridezilla didn’t come out and despite my worries, still hasn’t made an appearance.

I just wanted to say thank you to several people who have gone out of their way to make me feel so blessed and thankful.

Ms Mhel of ICC. Always so accomodating and reassuring. Except for some lapses that weren’t really big deals. We completed the church requirements today and all engines are go! She has always been so patient with all the questions, clarifications and requirements that dealing with the Cathedral has always been headache-free! (Unlike with someone from the other church who has caused me and other people around me so much grief.)

Ms Baby, Ms Mercy and Ms Lucy from Jorge. Another hassle-free vendor! All the transactions are always quick, to the point and goes along smoothly! Again no headaches and I’m always assured that the requirements will be delivered as discussed.

Sir Danny, Ms Guy and Nestor from Swan Catering. A lot of gratitude from us for being so patient and helpful! I trust that you’ll be able to make into reality our vision that started small but you’ve expanded into something grand.

Tita Didi of Midi Bridals and Formals. All the pieces are so beautiful! So much more than I have imagined. My thanks to you for your vision and craftsmanship.

Our other suppliers have also been very helpful but I just needed to say my advanced thanks to the people above for making our preparations a little less stressful.

We now have an ongoing discussion on when the wedding will actually take place. Initially, we talked about having it on Mark’s birthday, September 5, 2009 which works since it’s a Saturday.

Now since we are trying to keep the budget low on this thing, I floated the idea of having it on September 9, a Wednesday. Venue rates are cheaper on weekdays plus some vendors are giving more freebies on weekday bookings. And it being 2009, it has a nice 09.09.09 = once in a lifetime feel to it.

When MIL got wind of the dates we are considering, she put forth the idea of having it on September 8, Mama Mary’s birthday. My concern with this date is that the parish we’re eying has special masses for the schools in the vicinity and might not agree to the time that we want for the ceremony.

Mark is not much help since his reply is always, “Kahit ano, ok lang.

So, instead of the firm answer of September 5 that we used to give, we now have to check with the church what their availability is.

We were kinda busy last weekend going around for our preparations. Even though we were registered for the bridal fair at Blue Leaf, we decided to give it a pass to finish the agenda we have been going over for the past few weeks.

Saturday found us heading to Robert Camba’s office a couple of blocks from our house in Project 4. We got there in time to see the food being laid out for the food tasting that they conduct at the office every weekend.

We got to talking with Ms. Neneng who has fans within the w@wie ranks and she was very helpful in deatiling and explaining the packages to us. Right off, we were served iced tea by the waiter preparing the food and althroughout our stay at the office, he was very solicitous and was constantly refilling our glasses.
