It's been one year since we got married! A lot of married people told me to expect the first year to be a little rough, but fortunately for us, it wasn't at all that hard.<br />

We've had our fair share of ups and downs, but I bet anyone who would have to adjust to having a new 'other half' would experience the same thing. There's always something new to learn, and to me, here are some of those things:<br />

I'm pretty sure a lot will be added on to this list. It's only been one year. I'm hoping the coming years will be better.<br />

How about you, what's the most important thing you've learned about the married life so far?:)<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
I'm trying my best to give my most honest and unbiased reviews about my suppliers. Here we go:</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">How do I give a review about something so lovely? I mean, I was able to book my dream chapel. It was a sunny Saturday, perfect view of the mountains, cold, fresh country breeze -- how can anything go wrong? And true enough, everything went smoothly. Booking them was a pretty straightforward process -- reserve, pay, get married. Obviously, the price was out of the question. It's the perfect place for us after all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you're considering this place, make sure to be as decided as you can be so you can book early. You can be competing against hundreds of other couples so better make it quick. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The chapel holds 3 weddings max (10am, 2pm, 5pm) so you don't have to worry about simultaneous bridal entrance / exits and photo-ops. Also, you're sure your flowers are as freshly installed as possible. Absolutely no recycling of flowers like what happens in San Agustin Church. :))</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Note: Bring your own priest because you'll be paying just for the place; nothing more, nothing less.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Lincoln Place was a great discovery on our part because 1) it's relatively new so the rates are still reasonable 2) it obviously goes well with our rustic-country-vintage wedding theme. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The reason why I'm giving them a 4 is because they could still improve on their terms and conditions. There had been a bit of confusion when it came to the contracts and package inclusions. They presented me a document that says there's a payment for every extra pax in the venue, whereas my contract copy doesn't say anything about a limit in guests allowed in the place. But good thing they let it pass, since they're still obviously ironing things out.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I love Nez Cruz because he's passionate about his work, and he's a really good photographer with an eye for wedding details. He can definitely give you a service that's worth more than your money's worth.:) But being a bit OC with photography myself, I just wished there were more pre / post wedding shots of me with my bridesmaids, my husband and his best men and groomsmen, stuff like that. I'm not sure if other brides have different sets of photos and that my set has been limited by the instances that happened during that day, though, so I could let it pass. In fairness to him, at the end of the program, I asked him if he could take a photo of me and my girls in the woods and he obliged, but it was kinda getting late so I thought I was asking for too much. Imagine 2,000+ photos and I'm still wishing there were more. LOL. Yeah, there's something wrong with me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Also, I think some photos were captured using the wrong set of lens (like using a 50mm to take a scene that should've been shot with a wide lens) that's why the essence of some photos were missing. But then again, other factors could've contributed as to why those little mishaps happened --- like me being too technical.:))</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These guys simply know how to do their job well so you can't really argue with their pretty pricey rates. They know which shots to take and how to make those shots artistic. I super love their cinematography; I'm just not a fan of "directed" scenes and poses. This is the reason why we chose to just get their 'service only' package and edit the video ourselves --- they know how to record the most intimate and personal shots, but their video output will still follow a pattern that applies to all their clients.</span></div>

Ms. Marianne (owner) did a great job in giving me the dress that I wanted. I must admit that it was a bit scary to trust someone below the radar with my bridal gown -- that one gown that I'll forever remember -- but she just made me feel like everything's going to be fine.</span><br />

Even though we only paid for the labor because we provided the materials, she didn't make me feel like I'm less of a priority over her other clients who were having their full entourage made by her. She was able to copy my inspiration, and even went the extra mile of making me a bridal hat (which I unfortunately wasn't able to use) even if I didn't provide the materials for that. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b>
She was very attentive to my needs and she really made my gown inspiration (worn by a size 0 model) work with my size 10 physique. I never heard her say anything like "<i>this design just won't work for you, let's make you a different one</i>" which I admire.</span><br />

I had my bridesmaids', MOH and MOB dresses made by Kimi Go, and they're a bit expensive at Php 2,500 for one dress, materials provided by me. My sisters-in-law also had their dresses made by them, I'm just not sure how much for. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
I'd say this one is a hit and miss, because the output is good enough alright, but a lot of miscommunications and a bit of unprofessionalism happened along the way. Imagine having to go forth and back to their shop a number of times and having to wait for weeks again after the supposed deadline only to receive my bridesmaids dresses without any lining underneath (because they mistakenly used the lining fabric that I provided for another client). I fortunately was able to keep my cool the entire process because luckily, I saved enough patience to get me through such shenanigans until the big day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I felt like they were prioritizing higher-paying clients over me, which I hate about the experience.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
Good thing he's able to save himself by at least giving me the quality that I wanted, only I think I paid more than what I got.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The reason why I'm giving them a 4 and not a 5 is because I thought the business was a bit risky. Yeah, they made it just in the nick of time for the event, but when I knew they didn't have a car and just took the bus to Tagaytay in the wee hours of the morning to get to the location, it got me a little uneasy. I even had my uncle pick them up from somewhere because there weren't any tricycles available in the area. I mean, what if the bus didn't leave on time and caused an unfortunate series of events? I want to commend their efforts in trying their best to deliver their services anywhere, but it would've been better if they had their own means of transportation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It must've been a pretty lucky day for me. But if you're looking for good makeup that's not pricey, and you're confident that there won't be any problems with them getting on time for the event, I would highly vouch for them. :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Note: I had eyelash extensions on so I won't have to wear falsies, and I used <a href="http://www.splash.com.ph/brands/kolours/%E2%80%8E" target="_blank">Kolours</a> to color my hair because professional hair coloring can get super expensive.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Easter Valley is a family business owned by the husband's parents so, needless to say, our wedding catering was c/o the mother and father-in-law. It saved us a chunk of our wedding budget so I don't really want to dwell on this one for personal reasons. HAHAHA.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Everyone really loved all the food. And that's pretty much the whole point of getting a good caterer. I, however cannot attest to that, because we were not able to eat. But I can say they really serve good food -- based on house parties and dinners that I get to eat at. LOL. We should have at least had a taste test! Bummer.</span><br />

The husband designed our invitations so I can't really give a review about the level of creativity that J-Cef has to offer. But quality-wise, even I can't believe we only paid less than Php 50 for each set of these. What do you think?:) I wish you could get a hold of these, because the embossed texts (the gray fonts only, the yellow texts are printed flat) feel expensive.:))</span><br />

Take our cake supplier for example. Pam is my office mate's sister, and has only been making cupcakes since around 2011, and it wasn't too long ago when she started offering cakes. </span><br />

This has got to be our only supplier with the weirdest lineup of products for sale. They sell a wide range of products from pure honeybee to Japanese waffle maker. LOL. I don't even know why we got them. HAHAHA.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Our guests loved it. Our contact person exceeded our expectations. He did his best to pour the honey to 100+ little bottles by himself just to deliver our request. Not to mention the honey tasted really good!</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Rating: 3.5</i></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Is it weird that my wedding coordinators and ceremony musicians are the same people? LOL. But seriously, we had to get them to save us time looking for suppliers. Besides, they don't have OOT charges so they were very convenient. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've nothing bad to say about Ms. Cathz, the head coordinator and the singer, because she was very attentive to our needs and they really delivered their services. Knowing she had a past client whose wedding happened at 6am in Caleruega made me feel confident that a 10am wedding would be a piece of cake for their team. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So why am I giving them the 3.5 rating? Well, I don't really know. Music-wise, their team performed well and her voice is really good. And they were able to play the songs that I requested. But maybe it's because of the fact that we didn't get to eat during the reception. I mean seriously, the only time that realized that I haven't eaten since 8am that day was when the reception ended, which was around 4pm. The bridal assistant assigned to me was young, and she probably still lacked the experience. I wish they had a SOP to feed the couple while the guests are settling down. The assistant gave us iced tea while everyone, including the suppliers, were gobbling on a decent lunch. It breaks my heart when I think that we only got to eat some leftover lechon by the end of the program. HUHUHU.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Rating: 5</i></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I got Norly from Sulit.com.ph and I don't know what it was that made me book him on the spot. I haven't seen any reviews or bad comments, but already deposited the downpayment prior to our meet up. Good thing he was super professional when we met. He showed us photos from his past gigs and we were convinced that he's had enough experience to back him up. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He gave us files of to-do's so he'd have all the necessary details for the reception, which was very helpful because it served as our guideline. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">During the reception, our guests were already queuing up the buffet table even before we did our entrance. I don't know who cued them to eat, but Norly did a great job letting them settle down. Everyone was still eager to see our entrance, despite being full already. Admit it, some guests will just lose their interest with the program after satiating their hunger. The best part was all our guests stayed to finish the reception and didn't just eat and run.:))</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And oh, he's a really good singer. There were instances where we thought the background music is recorded, but when we looked at Norly, he was the one singing! And I don't know how he did it, but he simultaneously facilitated the guests for photo op, while he was singing, while he was taking everyone's photo with his digicam for his portfolio. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It was funny.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Note: He came with a "free receptionist", but it wasn't <i>Lala</i>. One of my bridesmaids </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">told me while everyone was in chaos, the free receptionist was eating so I don't know...</span><br />

After exactly 4 months, we're finally done choosing the most publish-worthy photos from the 2,000 pictures given to us by Nez Cruz. I'm not sure how these would appeal to other people anymore, because I've seen all the raw files for countless times already. But they're still <i>nakakakilig</i> because the photos remind me of that one special day.:)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, here are the photos. I don't have much of the <i>emoterang</i> poses because it felt weird. LOL. The photographers probably found me difficult to shoot. Howells. Also, please don't expect to see photos that have been made extra artistic - we only availed of the service only package so we only got the raw files.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!</div>

<br />
Just for reference, we got <a href="http://blacktieproject.com/" target="_blank">Blacktieproject</a> as our official videographer but only availed of their 'service only' package. The output wasn't full coverage-type; it was a compilation of cinematic clips that we just sewed together to make a 3-minute-or-so video.<br />
<br />
Anyway, after one and a half months, we're finally done editing our wedding video. Well, the husband was technically the sole editor, I was just there to make him coffee. LOL.<br />
<br />
I can't upload the video here because it looks like Blogger only supports Youtube so here's the link to the video instead:<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">I can't exactly tell how our wedding went because our perspective is obviously different from that of our guests, but even after a week, we're still hearing people say how beautiful of an event it has been. </span></div>

Being a hands-on bride is one thing; being a bridezilla is another. And I'm thankful that I wasn't the latter. The event wasn't 100% perfect technically speaking, but we didn't let those nonsense keep us from enjoying the day. We just let things be.</div>

Now that we're only 12 days away from the big day, we can already concentrate on the post-wedding details. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My dress is finished and is on its way to the dry cleaner because it got a little dirty during the beading and lacing process. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our temporary abode (fiance's grandma's basement) is currently being renovated into a little condo-type unit which will have 2 small bedrooms, 2 small bathrooms, a living *slash* dining area, and a lanai that will serve as our cute breakfast nook. Good thing we're having 2 bedrooms, at least we can sleep in separate rooms in case there will be some kind of LQ going on. LOL.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We've also booked our honeymoon (this term sounds weird and funny) to Singapore and Coron. I'm so happy and excited that my 15-day vacation leave got approved.:)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can't believe almost 1 year has passed already. It helped a lot that we've been very obedient to our self-created wedding timeline; I'm literally just counting the days until we get married, finishing tiny details here and there. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Holiday mode:NOW.</div>
thescrimpybridehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00464615032377155047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466265985654976632.post-78044518222102956312012-12-04T21:00:00.003-08:002012-12-04T21:00:57.923-08:00Random<div style="text-align: justify;">
So this is what it's like to be one month away from the big day... I thought I'll be more paranoid, a lot busier, and will turn into a worrywart once I start counting the weeks and not the months, but turns out I'm feeling the exact opposite.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Everything seems ready, or at least that's what I think, because I no longer want to go into the nitty-gritty details or else I'll only find more and more things to do with less and less time. I'm enjoying the morning classes at the gym, random lunch outs with the office mates, and the nightly MRT rides home with the fiance like I'm not getting married any time soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Right now I'm just looking forward to a good massage, a hefty Christmas shopping, and to finishing my 2 months worth of workload squeezed into 3 weeks. </div>

Finally, the bridesmaids' dresses are almost done (read: ALMOST). My girls were able to do their fitting last Sunday, and I must admit, the <a href="http://thescrimpybride.blogspot.com/2012/11/dear-wedding-suppliers.html" target="_blank">delay that I mentioned some time ago</a> turned out to be kind of a good thing--2 of my BM's gained a few inches, and one of them needed some reduction around the waistline. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The dresses look pretty normal here because they're still in the works, but wait 'til you see them with petticoats underneath-- the ballooned skirts are gonna look super cute!:) The MOH dress (middle) is my favorite though. I chose a peplum for her so our skirts won't be bumping against each other. Besides, my goal was to make her look like a very sophisticated assistant to me and I think I'm on the right track. LOL.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Can't wait until I post about the actual look of the dresses! But that won't be until after the big day. hehe.<br />
<br />
<i>Tip</i>:<br />
If you don't want your girls to wear something that's unflattering and will emphasize their bodies in all the wrong places, stick to a really good designer that can give you outputs that would fit like a glove.<br />
<br />
The dresses will be a bit expensive though, so make sure they're willing to pay for it (which I'm glad my girls are), or you can give them a reasonable share to cut their cost. Also, think of a design that they would love--not just what YOU love--and a style that they can wear in another occasion so they would gladly spend on it. :) In my case, I showed them lots of dress pegs and made them vote which style they like best. :)<br />

Also, this is just a preview.</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Even before we hired a photographer, the fiance and I are pretty much decided that we didn't want to have a pre-nup photo shoot done by a pro. Besides wanting to lessen our wedding expenses, we were too shy to act like a cute, happy couple in front of a stranger, so we opted on doing the photos on our own. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We don't want to call this pre-nuptial photos, because the term is too cheesy for our personality; we want to refer to this as the last set of decent photos of us as boyfriend and girlfriend. Kinda like a post-singlehood photoshoot? LOL. :))</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So with the help of a tripod, we served as each other's photographers. We explored every corner of the fiance's grandma's basement (yes, even the restroom) in the hopes of getting a good shot. Luckily, we were able to come up with photos that are really personal, true to ourselves, and best of all, FREE. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Because there's no <i>pamahiin</i> against the bride seeing the groom in his suit before the wedding, I helped the fiance shop for his attire. The fun part was I got to be his personal stylist. Hehe. We usually just mind our own business when it comes to dressing up, so me helping him choose what he's going to wear for our wedding was a huge deal. I was pretty much hands-on with everything--from the fabric of his custom suit, to his shoes, down to his necktie--so I was <i>kinilig </i>when I saw him try out the whole ensemble inside the fitting room (a<i>ng arte ko lang?</i>). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Luckily, after scouring department stores and men's boutiques, we were finally able to complete his whole look. But again, as much as I want to post his dress rehearsal, I need to keep his look a secret until our wedding. Hehe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the meantime, here's to give you an idea of the pieces that I chose for him:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd49TT497ZsKmQDFvXEJj08CLw_wAVmxapWsvjY6EPVVjog3vr-24MsUpeE6vAnqIRqABsPKkKN5ZizziLAqLKy7lV2epB80h9AeadXDLirRACSv6xZ8TfhNq64a4m0rnqPi4L6eSP7eFf/s1600/picture2life_19925_original.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd49TT497ZsKmQDFvXEJj08CLw_wAVmxapWsvjY6EPVVjog3vr-24MsUpeE6vAnqIRqABsPKkKN5ZizziLAqLKy7lV2epB80h9AeadXDLirRACSv6xZ8TfhNq64a4m0rnqPi4L6eSP7eFf/s640/picture2life_19925_original.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The shopping has been quite a confusing process because he kept on changing his mind about which piece will go well with which (<i>side stor</i>y: he bought a pair of blue suede desert boots which unfortunately didn't match his tailor-made suit, so he bought a new pair of khaki pants which he thought would go well with the shoes but didn't, which is why he's about to buy another pair of shoes that would go well with his new pants) until all the little expenses piled up to one big dent in his wallet. If I'm going to sum up all his wardrobe expense, it would more or less cost about Php 15,000. LOL. Poor him, that's the price he needs to pay just to look stunning. Hahaha. Howell, at least it's worth it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The fiance and I drove to Batangas early this morning to have our canonical interview and get my parish permit and our wedding banns. Since our ceremony will be at Chapel on the Hill, we had to do the all the paper works for COH's parish, Our Lady of All Nations, located at the View Deck of Canyon Woods.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I thought we'll only be spending 30 minutes at the office of the Parish so I looked forward to going <i>ukay-shopping</i>, but unfortunately, we had to wait for more than 2 hours (we got there 11:30am, got interviewed around 2pm) because Fr. Milo Malabuyoc went out to hold a mass somewhere. Worst part, it was lunch time and there wasn't any food store nearby. The fiance almost died. LOL.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What to bring:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Original Copy:</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Baptismal Certificate (for marriage purposes)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Confirmation Certificate (for marriage purposes)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-<a href="http://thescrimpybride.blogspot.com/2012/10/licensed-to-marry-applying-for-marriage.html" target="_blank">Marriage License</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-Certificate of Attendance 2 day <a href="http://thescrimpybride.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-weekend-of-marriage-enlightenment-pre.html" target="_blank">Pre-CANA Seminar</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Photocopy:</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Certificate of No Marriage</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Birth Certificate</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- list of names of principal sponsors</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- name, license number, expiration date of license of officiating priest</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally another major to-do is done! We'll head to our respective parishes tomorrow for the submission of our wedding banns. Few more weeks on the wedding clock!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Few tips:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
- Bring some snacks or make sure you've eaten before you go there in case it's a bad timing.<br />
- Proofread all the papers. Your marriage certificate / contract details will be based on the documents you submit. It's best to check errors now than to deal with NSO in the future for corrections.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Total ATM damage: Php 9,150</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Php 5,000 Parish fee (this is what Chapel on the Hill required us to pay, not sure about the other churches)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Php 2,150 Marriage certificate processing fee (whatta surprise expense!)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Php 2,000 (we already paid our balance with COH because it's due on the 5th of Dec. anyway. We didn't want to go back there again soon just to settle that)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Just because the bride is getting married next year, doesn’t mean you have all the liberty to delay her order so you can accommodate other clients who need their dresses done by the end of this year, especially if you have already stated in your contract that you will deliver your service by the 3<sup>rd</sup> week of October. It is not for you to decide how much extension you’re going to give yourself, because 1) <u>the bride must have booked you early because she didn’t want to be cramming 1 month before her big day</u>; 2) <u>it’s not the bride’s fault if your other clients booked you at a later date for a rush order, so you technically don’t have the sole discretion whether or not you should put her needs at the bottom of your to-do list and</u>; 3) <u>the bride signed up for your service because she counts on your fixed due date of delivery, and not a due date that comes with an extend-all-you-can feature</u>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There’s nothing wrong with prioritizing things. But the fact that the bride entrusted you with that certain task months before her wedding and you’re not respecting her timeline means that you’re recklessly and inconsiderately putting aside one of her top priorities. <b>And it’s not fair.</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
It would’ve been forgivable if you didn’t settle on a delivery date and signed a contract; problem is you did, and you have no choice but to perform and deliver what’s expected of you.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Unless you highly look forward to becoming another pain in a bride’s ass... </div>

What we included in the package:<br />
<br />
<i>For the ladies:</i><br />
- hair pins<br />
- safety pins<br />
- sanitary napkin (just in case)<br />
- pocket tissue<br />
- band aids<br />
- razor (they'll never know when they can use one)<br />
- meds (loperamide and paracetamol)<br />
- needle and thread (these duo will just save any day)<br />
- vintage-y detachable collar<br />
<br />
<i>For the gents:</i><br />
- A dose of alcohol (in case they're too shy to give a speech)<br />
- fatherly comb<br />

- cigar (for that manly kick)<br />
- mint gum (to save them from the consequences of cigar breath)<br />
<br />
Despite having to go through a number of malls and<i> tiagges </i>to complete the to-include list, I really enjoyed this part of the wedding prep. We're so excited to give this to our groomsmen and bridesmaids. These are gonna help them survive our big day. I just hope they don't see this spoiler blog post.:))<br />

We already started giving out invitations but when guests would ask me what to give us on our wedding, I can’t say anything yet. And this could be because <i>1)</i> we’re not expecting any gifts especially from our friends; <i>2)</i> although we assume that at least some of them plan to give us something, we don’t want to tell them what our preference is because no matter how we tell them, it will sound tacky;<i> 3)</i> it’s really not a big deal if they go there empty-handed since it’s not our reason for throwing a big wedding party, so we don’t see the point of giving an answer when we’re asked what we like, or where we registered.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
But I realized the need to get a bridal registry and discreetly tell our gift preference to people when 4 people told me (though jokingly) that they’re going to get us a rice cooker for our wedding. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with getting a rice cooker---but what are we supposed to do with 3 more? I can just imagine piles of duplicate appliances collecting dust in our house if we didn’t sign up for a registry. But just in case there are duplicates, it would be nice if the gifts would still have their price tags on, so just in case it happens, we can sell the items right away. Heh.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I’ve seen some wedding invitations that say, <i>“Your presence is enough, but just in case, we prefer cash”. </i>Yes<i>, </i>it’s a very convenient way to spare ourselves from getting flooded by unnecessary home products but we didn’t include any hint of that in our invites because besides the fact that my dad didn’t want us to, the whole point of the celebration can get somewhat lost in translation; like it’s technically an exclusive event that offers free beer in exchange of a cover charge, and we don’t want that.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So how do we tell our guests what we like as gifts without including it in our invites and posting it to our wedsite and Facebook group? I guess the most ethical thing to do is to not say anything unless asked, or let our family and closest friends do the announcement, so we can keep ourselves from shouting to the world that we prefer ‘this kind of gift’ on the assumption that our guests would be generous and thoughtful enough to give us that. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
~~It’s 2 months and 2 weeks to go. On days that I realize how near it is, I feel like I’m about to throw up. Gah. *more jitters by the day*<o:p></o:p></div>

<li style="text-align: justify;">Go to Counter 11 of Civil Registry (the website says Counter 10 but the fiance says 11), where you will be given a referral note that says “For filing and application form”, which will direct you to the Treasury. But before heading straight to the Treasury to pay the fees, check with the Health Department first the Family Planning Seminar schedule. You can have the seminar scheduled on the same day but in our case, we just had our CEFAM certificates checked and approved by the Health Department</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Pay all the necessary <a href="http://www.quezoncity.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=261:civilregguide&catid=79">fees</a> at the Treasury</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Go back to Counter 11 to submit the application forms and the rest of the requirements , and pay the notarization fee of <u>Php 50</u> at Counter 11 (which the website didn’t tell us about)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Go back after 11 days and pay the marriage license fee of <u>Php 100</u> upon claiming</li>

Total expense:<br />
<br />
Birth Certificates: Php330 x 2<br />
CeNoMar: Php430 x2<br />
<br />
<b>TOTAL: Php 1,520 </b><br />
We obviously double the expense here since we opted to order the certificates online. But if you have the luxury to queue up inside NSO, you can save up a few cash. Prices of the BC and Cenomar are <u>Php 140 </u>and <u>Php 195</u> respectively, but that is if you're willing to take a leave from work and manually file for the documents.<br />

Finally met my florist this afternoon, yey! It’s really different when you get to meet your suppliers in person and not just see them doing their thing during your big day. I only got my florist online after seeing his multiply site and after a few inquiries, my future MIL booked him for us. I sent him some photos of my inspirations, but since we haven’t talked in person, I was clueless on what my flowers would be like exactly. It was such a relief to finally get to discuss all the details with him in person. <br />

I was kind of hesitant about his service at first because the photos of his works found in his site don’t really justify the beauty of the flowers, but after meeting him, I can tell that he’s really professional and experienced. He didn’t try to endorse things that I don’t really need or made me consider a more extravagant and expensive arrangement, which I liked. And he’s done a number of wedding stints at Chapel on the Hill so that’s reason enough to say I made a good choice. What’s more, he’s based in Cavite, so I didn’t have to deal with additional out-of-town charges. <o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We’ve finally found our source for our wedding favors! After scouring a couple of organic stores to find the best supplier of honey favors for our rustic-vintage-themed wedding, we ended up sealing the deal with someone from none other than <a href="http://www.sulit.com.ph/" target="_blank">Sulit</a>. LOL.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Since the supplier is online, I asked if he could send me photos prior to delivery so I won’t get caught off guard in case I didn’t like it. But, boy was I pleased with what I saw! I’m so excited about our favors that I’m currently fighting the urge to post all the behind-the-scene photos that the supplier sent me—I sure don’t want to spoil my own wedding by blogging about my guest favors. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So here’s a sneak peek:<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I have to give the supplier some credit because I particularly requested for 100ml jars and he obliged even though the tiniest they sell are 250ml. In addition to going through the hassle of sourcing out 100ml bottles, he had to go through the troubles of personally filling these bottles with pure honey! And the best part, he only quoted us Php55 a piece! <i>Grabe lang</i>. The bottles were supposed to come with labels designed by the seller to suit the occasion’s theme, but we opted to do the tags on our own. Besides, that would mean more work for him for such a measly price. <i>Nakakahiya naman</i>. :D <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We definitely need to give him some form of gratuity just for sparing us from the tedious task of manual honey labor. :))<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Price: Php 6,600 for 120 pieces of 130ml bottles </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Php 200 delivery charge<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>TOTAL: Php 6,800</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Side note: I originally ordered 130 pcs, but Eric said 8 bottles were damaged so he just charged for 120 bottles and gave the extra 2 for free. Delivery took about 10 days.<br />

<i>PS. </i>In case you plan on contacting him, you can tell him you got his number from Geli, because I think I'm his first client to order 130ml bottles. I just hope he doesn't increase his price after realizing how stressful this custom order is. LOL.</div>

Edit 10/10/12<br />
During the delivery of the bottles, the fiance had a little chitchat with Eric and was told that they're going to increase the price to Php65. I think the increase is still pretty reasonable considering the labor to customize the order was really tedious---I mean he had to find the source for the bottles, manually do the repackaging, design the label (which we didn't include), and personally deliver the orders to us. Besides, we were Eric's trial-and-error customers. At least the next clients can expect a more smooth-sailing service. :)<br />
<div>
<br />
And oh, the honey tastes super good too! Very far from the plastic-tasting honey sold in supermarkets. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I can’t believe we’re at this point already! We’ve finally sent our invitation design to the printer and will wait for the finished invites to arrive in 10 days. We’ll be sending them out to our guests soon OMG. :)) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We braved the streets of Recto last Saturday to find the trusted printer who will take care of our invites. It was kind of a weird feeling because the last time I was there, I was in my ugly UST uniform with a classmate who's now my bridesmaid, looking for some cheap, used books for class. All of a sudden, I was there searching for the people who will make my wedding invitations. Time sure flies. :))</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, the fiancé’s dad recommended J-CeF Printing to us, because they were satisfied with what they provided for the fiancé’s sister who's also getting married soon. </div>

Update: October 13 '12<br />
<br />
We picked up the invitations this afternoon and were pretty satisfied with the result. I can't 100% rave about the outcome though, because there were some details that weren't achieved. The fiance was particular about his design so he noticed color discrepancies between the soft copy and the printout, which I luckily didn't notice. Or maybe we just set our expectations high that's why we were being so OC about it. Anyway, I think we'll just let it go. After all, I doubt if our guests would even know that there's a tiny bit of mishap with our invites.:)<br />
<div>
<br />
Supplier rating: I'd still give J-Cef an 8 out of 10 for 1) being able to produce exactly what we have in mind; 2) their very affordable rate; 3) their timely delivery. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s 3 months to go before the big day and it’s time for some spending review. :))</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I created this blog, I mentioned <a href="http://thescrimpybride.blogspot.com/p/wedding-budget.html" target="_blank">here </a>that we’re looking at a Php 200k-wedding, catering not included. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But guess what, after checking our expenses file in excel, a brief WTF moment transpired upon realizing that we’ve already exceeded our initial budget and now have a total of Php 240k something in damages (down payments made + all remaining balance). And mind you, we’re still not done. We still have a few things to take care of, and there are some stuff that might incur unforeseen expenses like extra hours in the venue, overstaying in the hotel, additional flower setup, etc. So good luck with that. HAHAHA. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No wonder why <a href="http://thathappyday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">my soon-to-be-married friend</a> told me their initial budget of Php 300k has been predicted to balloon into half a million. Oh God.:S Right now I’m hoping we wouldn’t hit the Php300k mark, because that would be too much for a semi-formal affair.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I’m assuming it’s the price of quality that couples need to pay for these days. I mean, I'd prefer having an intimate affair of 20 people and not spend hundreds of thousands over trying to make Php100k work to pull off a decent celebration, only to end up with the cheapest but most unreliable and unprofessional suppliers out there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We’ve tried our best to find high quality suppliers that can provide us with the most reasonably-priced services and that’s probably the farthest we can go. At the end of the day, we'd still wanna make sure we're not settling for anything less.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So would I say we’re in the stage of regretting having ever planned this costly affair? Of course not! This is actually the best expense we have--or my fiancé has--ever spent on. What’s important is that everything still falls under what we can afford to have, without jeopardizing our future financial status. :))</div>

To me, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack. I have a good sense of style (yes, I’m speaking for myself) and can spot the most expensive-looking shoes 50 meters away but once I try it on, my feet just won’t cooperate. Not sure if those shoes are too pretty for my feet or my feet are just too damn ugly regardless of what I’m wearing. To make things worse, I also have a feet condition called </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_fasciitis" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">plantar fasciitis</a><span style="text-align: justify;">, so strolling around the mall for more than 3 hours is not my thing. I would need some fugly </span><a href="http://www.orthoticshop.com/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">orthotic shoes</a><span style="text-align: justify;"> if I want to walk normally, but since I prefer style over comfort, all my shoes are okay-looking but painful.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Because of that, I knew it was going to be hard for me to find the perfect bridal shoes. It’s hard enough to find a chic yellow pair (I’m planning to wear yellow) and it’s even made harder by the fact that I need to find shoes with good cushioning, good arch support, pointed but with wide toe box, would flatter my feet, and would match my wedding dress. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So after a few searches on sulit.com, some inquiries here and there, I finally found my shoemaker --- it’s <a href="http://nxcouture.multiply.com/" target="_blank">NX Couture</a>. Good thing I stumbled upon them online. What I liked about them was that given the quality of shoes that they’ve been producing, they still don’t overprice. They have a shop in Marikina and that's where they make the shoes, so I didn't have any trust issues about the outcome. :))</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I was initially quoted Php 2,000 for my design (cloth provided by me), but was charged Php 2,500 after taking my measurement. But I still find their price competitive, considering I would probably be spending at least Php3,000 in other shoe stores. But with NX Couture, I’m going to have my own custom shoes to suit my feet’s needs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Another great thing about having personalized shoes is that you can search for designs of high-fashion shoe designers and have them reproduced at a much cheaper price. In my case, I opted for a pair of lovely wedges from <a href="http://www.arunaseth.com/" target="_blank">Aruna Seth</a>. I can't wait for my fitting!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
If you’re still on the lookout for that perfect match, this shop is probably where you should be:</div>

Ms. Zen texted me yesterday telling me I can go to their shop for my fitting. Unfortunately though, she had to cancel the appointment this morning because she said the shoes didn't go exactly like the inspiration. She said she had to return the pair to the manufacturer and have them revise it until it looks perfectly similar to what I was going for. It's going to take 2 more weeks. Howell. But at least I know the shoes are being QA'd before I get to see them.<br />

I finally got the shoes a few weeks ago and this is what they look like:<br />

<br />
Unfortunately, I decided not to use it to the ceremony (still not sure if I'll wear it for the reception). It's pretty alright, but that's exactly the reason why I changed my mind--it's too pretty that it can stand on its own, even when I tried it on with the dress. The shoes just don't complement the whole look, which is sad in a way, and a bit of a waste. The dress was beautiful, the shoes were beautiful, but when I tried them on, something just felt wrong. So I had to buy a nice pair from the department store. If it's any consolation, I got them for Php700.<br />

Being one of the many brides who do not want to entrust her wedding day to some random coordinator and risk ruining it, I didn't plan on hiring a professional wedding coordinator to help us with all the planning process. I thought I could just delegate that task to my friend who have had one or two wedding coordination gigs to back her up. But when I noticed that the whole preparation is starting to take its toll on me especially now that we’re nearing the final stages, and that I couldn't count on that friend of mine 24/7 to share my ordeals with, I realized that it’s time to look for someone who gets paid to do the job.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s actually nice to be in control—but I obviously can’t stay in control until the big day. And as I’ve mentioned in my <a href="http://www.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_2080758093"></span>previous post<span id="goog_2080758094"></span></a>, as much as I want to include all my dearest friends in the process, most of the time it’s a lot easier said than done. Besides, I would still prefer hiring someone to take care of our event than to stress my friends on that one special day that they, too, should be enjoying.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So the fiancé and I finally decided on hiring an on-the-day coordinator for our wedding. <a href="http://eventscateringmusic.weebly.com/" target="_blank">CM3 Events and Music Services</a>, initially our ceremony music supplier, also happens to provide coordination services so we also booked them for that purpose. They’ve done a handful of weddings before so we thought they’re qualified to handle our semi-formal affair. We opted not to get super pros who charge double the TF because, as the fiancé said, we’ve planned and done pretty much everything and all we needed are people who can give an extra hand, so it’s kind of pointless to splurge a good amount of money just to get the best coordinator in town. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I’m trying not to be paranoid and overthink about the what if’s during our big day; I just want to set my mind and expect the unexpected so whatever boo-boo happens, I won’t be pointing my finger at anyone. After all, it’s just a party. The worst that could happen would probably be my fiancé standing me up. LOL </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
I've posted about Woodsborough Log Homes a few months ago and back then we were unsure if we were going to go for it. We initially opted to hold the reception at the vacant lots near the log homes where we'll be staying, but after all sorts of hullabaloos regarding the use of the vacant lots combined with unexpected series of events and unforeseen expenses that happened during the past 3 months, we finally settled for The Lincoln Place. There was also a communication breakdown that occurred between the future MIL and the clubhouse manager which added to the delay of the booking, but good thing I was able to intervene and iron everything out before somebody else gets the slot.<br />
<br />
The fiance and his dad went there to do another ocular and finalize all the details. Here are some photos of the venue:<br />

</tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: justify;">The fiance was kind of hesitant about the concrete ground because we originally pictured a real backyard setting for the venue---with grass flooring and all those natural woodsy feel. We thought we'd be able to use the vacant lots that I showed in my <a href="http://thescrimpybride.blogspot.com/2012/06/discovering-woodsborough-log-homes.html" target="_blank">previous Woodsborough Log Homes post</a> for free but as it turned out, there are existing owners of the lots who don't want to lend their properties for us to party on. Oh well. But if it's any consolation, we were told by Ms. Jenny that the grass area can get a little wet during the cold months because of the Tagaytay fog. Besides, in case it rains, at least our guests won't have to bury their feet in the mud.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: justify;">Overall, the place is nice enough for a laid back lunch reception that we're going for, but since the entirety of the clubhouse doesn't seem like it can comfortably hold 200 people in one area, sadly, we might have to filter our guest list again. But we'll see.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><br />
