September 19 = 10:30AM appointment at gown maker. When I saw the gown, oh oh this is not what I picture it. I think the lady staff saw my reaction & she said the upper bodice is just a "pattern/shell" for the real gown and the weird skirt is the petite coat.
Hay un naman pala eh..hehe...What a relief ! I have to go back on Sept. 23 for my first real fitting.
1:30PM @ Podium meeting with Ms. Pam to discuss the flower arrangement. It went well, she was very professional and considerate, their shop is at Quezon City but she agreed to meet me half-way. She brought her laptop to show me their previous work and to pin point exactly what flower she's talking about. Since I'm not good naming flora i brought a print copy of my inspiration for more "floral understanding". I told her I don't want a too girl-y flower arrangement but more of a rustic approach. No Roses & Alstromerias.
i just like everything on this bouquet
September 20 =Tuesday is paper works. I made a draft for misalette, thanks to
w@w a previous
w@wie already made a template for CTK misalette. All I have to do is to change the readings, do some revisions and we're all set. I just need Jhomsz's nod if he's okay with it. Then I wrote down a tentative list of guests on my side.
September 21 = Off to Divisoria with BM Clem to look for a vintage wood trinket box, another
w@wie suggested that I can find a vintage box at ever reliable Divi. We're on quest to look something like this but much cheaper.
We searched alleys, asking vendors until we found it but as expected the quality is not the same with the higher price tag. BM Clem suggested that we bought one box just to be sure in case I can' find another one. I plan to use this as our arrhae where we'll put our treasures. After Divi trip I have to meet our coordinator to tell her our progress, I'm confident that we're on track..haha. Until she showed me the template that we have to check & filled-up! Goodness! Can't we catch a break :( Sigh.
September 22 = Let the hunt begin! Time to look for souvenir for Principal Sponsors & for my shoes. I got lucky found something for our golf enthusiast ninong. Ninongs = checked.
Then my shoes, OH MY FEET! I'm size 40 (EU). Looking for shoes is never been easy for me. Either i don't have a size or that's the last stock. I don't have any plan to look for my shoes in Japan aside from the hefty price tag I have a slim chance to find the right design w/ the right size. So my plan is to look for my shoes here, after trying several shoes, from Makati to Ortigas my luck stop short when I found nothing that will compensate my effort. My last hope is to buy thru on-line.
9:00PM Jhomsz & I have to meet our emcee. She referred by Sharie (a friend of mine) she was her client last May at Caleruega. The meeting went well, she gave us ideas on how we could make our program, she shared some of her experiences and we talked for hours in fact we're the last client of Starbucks!
September 23 = I have to pick-up our Marriage License at Taguig City hall. After a brief talk I received it
. Yey!We have our license! Then I'm off to
Cecilio Abad`s shop to fit my gown. In just a couple of days my gown was almost complete! That's how fast they can work.
CA Design Team made my gown (second team of Cecilio Abad). They made some adjustments with the design I gave them to complement with my body shape. A little adjustment, tweaking and embellishments I'm all set. Lab Love her gown!
Clayton the one holding the veil, he made my gown w/ the rest of CA Design team
hmm mag emote na daw ba?
September 24 & 25 = We have a 2-day Marriage Encounter Seminar at CTK. We're 60 couples in all, the first largest group CTK handled. We met some new friends too :)
photo taken during our last day as souvenir ;)
September 26 = Another attempt to look for my bridal shoes but still no luck.
September 27 = Typhoon struck Manila. ABC declared no more work in the afternoon so Jhomsz picked me up to have the last preps that we can do.
September 28 = We already received the CD of our pre-nup from RF but I have a plane to catch, sayang
