almost a month after

Jilla's gonna design my gown and my entourage! YEEEEEY!

i've always loved her designs, it has that edge that i need, coz you know, im not really the traditional maria clara (oh god, no)

well, at least something's progressing.

although this got me sad, apparently, they don't hold weddings at caleruega anymore. waaaaaaaah! but it's such a nice place. :( paaak.

does anyone know a nice church, as of today, here are my options... (ok, im still putting caleruega here, just in case, by my flawless charm, they'd allow one last ceremony... )

Manila Cathedral, San Agustin Church (Intramuros), Caleruega Church (batangas)

ok, i must admit im kinda hesitant about the manila cathedral. idk,, it was just suggested, pero parang pang status lang yun e, i's choose character over status anytime.

hmmmmm.... i need more options. grrrrr

where art thou?

the search is on for the wedding venue.

ok, so his family will be coming from Pangasinan (besides another big group from all over US), and mine's primarily in Cavite, so it had to be somewhere in the middle, therefore manila.

i don't want it to be the usual uptight church settings because one, that's just not me. and two, we both might pass out from all the tension before we even reach the altar. i mean, i don't mind doing it in a church, but you know, it would be nice if it's not too..i don't know, serious. just think, somewhere i can play rock music. hahahaha!

so, guys...do you have any suggestions.. it has to be somewhere unique, somewhere that can accommodate a lot of people (we both have big families, and well, you all should be there too right?)

somewhere with a nice sunset maybe, that would be nice. the theme i'm gearing to are more warm colors. bright and warm... red, oranges, yellows,, it would be nice if our background would be a nice sunset.

hmmmm.... where could it be??

a sort of introduction

Unlike most little girls, i never really got to that part of growing up wherein you plan your wedding as early as you can spell marriage. i guess i never thought it should be on top of my priority list. that's just how i always was, i never really have given any thought about getting married other than it will be in the far future. Maybe that's why most of the people who knows me thinks that i'm not the marrying kind. or at least i'd be the last single standing.

fast forward to today, i'm married for 2 months but will still need to have a church wedding (like the civil wedding was invalid, but you know, the culture, it's just not the same without a church wedding) i am sort of blaming my young self for not thinking about this before and leaving all the planning to my now adult self. Now, unlike most women who already had a head start with this thing, i'm starting from scratch. add that to the fact that we're targeting an earlier date, like a few months from now. and that the wedding will be held at a different continent. and that everyone is looking forward to it (ok, this part might be a little bit my fault.. hehe!)

sure, we had the civil wedding 2months before, but planning for that and this is different. there's alot to take care of, alot of booking, planning, choosing, deciding... and although i had my share of experience in planning and implementing events, i guess nothing can really get you ready for something as big as your own wedding.

so in order to keep myself sane, (and something for me to look back on in case i need to know if i've already done this or that) i'm keeping a wedding blog for maybe one of the craziest wedding mankind will ever witness.

here's to the start of my crazy wedding.
