It’s crunch time!

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.

And panic sets in

Well, not really. But I’m starting to feel the pressure where there was none before. It’s about a month and change left as people around me keep reminding.

Most of the things that we need to prepare are in place. I’ve started wrapping the bridal party gifts and except for the female principal sponsors, everything else is set.

The only major thing that we haven’t completed are the flowers for the entourage. All that is left are really the DIYs for the wedding favors and we’re most likely good to go. Oh, yeah, we still need to get the bills taken cared of.

Updates!

Yup, it’s been a busy couple of months. I’ve been busy with work as well as some other things. The wedding preps are getting there and some friends are wondering why I haven’t turned into a bridezilla.

These are the things ticked off from the checklist:

Photo/Video – downpayments made, prenup to be completed
Catering – reservation paid, starting installment payments
Church – reservation paid, seminars a month before the date
Reception – downpayment paid
Couture – measurements ongoing
Music – reservation paid
Invites – downpayment paid, started the drafting

Things still hanging in the balance:

Flowers
HMUA
Giveaways

I don’t remember what else is missing. I’ve got a list around here someplace.

Less than four months to go!

And we’re off

To go to the bridal fairs, that is. We actually went to one a few months ago. There is another on September 6th and 7th. Before that, another caterer is doing food tasting on August 29.

We have a little over a year to go but I want to get cracking on this already. I never thought I’ll be as excited about planning a wedding as I am right now!
