my friends have been asking the status of our wedding preparations. all i can say is, "so far, so good". how can i procastinate for my Big day? No Way!
as early as last year, we have been doing our research. from details, themes, suppliers, motiff and other stuffs. i can honestly admit that i am an OC person. i want every detail to be taken cared of, thus the early preparation, 1 year plus to say the least :D
so we started the formal preps last January. first and foremost, we discussed if we should book a coordinator or do it ourselves. the superwoman in me was telling me that i can do it :D but my work did not cooperate :( and i know Moyo has no talent in all the details, its just soo not him even if he insists that he can do it. i just can't trust him on stuffs like these (sorry bebs!). after a serious discussion, we've decided to get one :) according to Moyo, para daw no stress for me but i think he was thinking of no stress for him :D (he just know how much pressure i will be putting on him especially that he is still in Cebu). i have to thank Jhoe, my roomie, for recommending our pretty coordinator, Tisha. i know i can totally trust her knowing she's a good friend of Jhoe's. so far, we have no regrets!
since i am a beach-freak and Moyo is on the average, there's no discussing where the reception should be. the problem was in which resort? i want it in Shangrila (libre btaw mangarap) but of course that would be too much on Moyo's pocket :) so we opted for plan B, which is Maribago Bluewaters. period! so last January, we made our reservation and paid the deposit last February.
next on the list would be the church. my mother requested to hold it in Fatima Parish in Basak , Mandaue but we were thinking it would be too far from Mactan. i have to convinced her that distance really matters, good thing she agreed or maybe was forced :) anyway, Tisha, recommended St. Joseph's Parish (now National Shrine of St. Joseph) in Guizo, Mandaue City. at first, i was kinda hesitant because she told me that the altar is pretty but the aisle is looonnnggg, which is a no no for me :( i even told Moyo, a chapel would suffice but of course it would be too small and my dream chapel, which is Archbishop's Chapel, is way too far from Mactan. to give me peace of mind, Moyo checked some churches in mactan but sad to say, all of them seems so strict with the requirements which might be difficult for us since we are overseas. so we finally decided to book St. Joseph instead but told Tisha, I want to check it come February because the last time i was there was like 5 years ago. good thing, Tisha is also OC. she reserved the church ahead and paid for the deposit first. when i finally saw it, i was in love with the altar but sad with the aisle. it was really looonnnggg :( but i think i can manage...i just hope i won't trip somewhere. all in all, the church is lovely, intimate and vintage :D Moyo and I agreed that we are getting married on that church. teeehhheee!
