a BRIDE must have

What are the things a BRIDE must Have on her Wedding Day?
I guess a lot.... and to name few, here are those;

POWER DRUGS OPPS MEDICINE PLA

medicines in case of.....

winner na winner na FLIP FLOPS

a comfy flippy for sore toes




BANANAS W/OUT PAJAMAS

a bite of banana for potassium
u know what i mean!

very Plain BISCUITS

crackers to suffice hunger
Too much excitement make us feel full, even were not.
by the time we reach the church
that's the only time we realize we want to eat something BUT its too late dahlin,
we do not want our foodies to spill on our wedding dress...
so why not munch on crackers first.

BOTTLED WATER
aka WATERLILY

if we feel hungry for sure will get thirsty ....
so be sure to have waterlily always ready!



FACE POWDAH

who doesn't want to look good on her wedding day...?????
of kers nobody.... for picture perfect....



THE FEATHER FAN
even if its hot nor cold We Bride's tend to sweat... hahahahah
its so true... its because were so nervous it knocks our sweat glands and
secretes too much perspiration AWARD!

HANKY PANKY

everybody needs this, not just to wipe those perspiration away
but also to wipe away those tears....Happie Tears i mean



THE MAKE UP KIT
bringing a small make up kit wont harm
this will save u from unwanted shots ..u know what i mean
u dont want to trash 80% of your wed pics bcoz u dont look gud on it.....
dont take chances bring one... and let ure apprentice hold it for u....
(no need to remind me this is no 1 on my lists hahaha)



OIL CONTROL SHEETS

definitely a wedding must have... "oilyness is next to UGLYNESS"
very TRUE! Lets stay GLAMOUROUS all through out the wedding...
u woudnt want to look greasy right? TIP: watsons offers diff.
varities of oil control sheets, grab 1 and let the oil sheets do the MAGIC!

OH my PERFUME

do not forget to bring you're companion!

oh yes Perfume is a must .... u woudnt want to smell stinky on ure wedding day.
if u look good on you're wedding gown be sure to smell good!

a lot of our guests will greet and kiss us.... so be sure we smell pleasant...
i mean very pleasant..hahahahha

HAIR CLIPS 101

for hair breakouts & falls u need to be ever ready to have it fix
or else u might end up looking like ..... luka!

POWDAH

again for instant freshness we need powdah... not just a face powdah

but also a loose powdah! this can also help stains invisible .... for some!
definitely a must have for me and for my Groom... of kors if i want to look GUD
i want my hubby to look GUD also.... so why not keep him fresh by blotting
some powdah on his cheeks! LOVELEEH!

MINTS so FRESH

everybody needs this.... but us specially, remember those guests who
will greet & kiss us? we don't want our breath to smell awkward!
and for sure we don't want to see eeeerrrrry face after we say
OH thank u for coming! hahahha!

TISSUE-NESS

a lot of tissue ..... BOW!
we need this really, even if we have our hanky ready we still
need disposable tissues.... specially for NON-STOP crying & laughing.




MIRROR
mirror is one of the Bride's best friend ....
Y? because were to conscious about our appearance on our BIG DAY
and we would always wanna see if we look good all the time.
So, we should have a compact mirror ready, instead of rushing
to the wash area every after interval. CHECK!




SEWING KIT
Yeah a MUST have! we know that accidents happens, (not tragic)
i mean unforeseen scene during weddings. I encountered a lot of this before
Literally speaking one common problem is with the gowns,
there might be last minute alteration, so just to be ready
why not add this to our wedding tote.. a little sewing kit
wont occupy huge space in our tote so go ahead and bring one.





STOCK some STOCKING'S
we need some extra stocking's
and every BRIDE knows that for sure!

a lot of us attended weddings before, some of us were impressed & some are not, some weddings may look perfect and some do not.... we woudnt want to experience humiliation and bad feedback's after all our efforts to make our BIG Day supper special... so Bride's to be need to be precautious about everything..... Be mindful & dont forget to take this MUST HAVE seriously!

Our Official Wedding Church "Manila Cathedral"

Why we choose Manila Cathedral?

Sometime in 2001 after Uno proposed, we attended a wedding in San Agustin, its a night wedding ,i was mesmerized with the whole ceremony ...the church is perfect.. the lights are enchanting everything is so beautiful (but that's during that time). But now its different, the walls are fading parang napabayaan na ang simbahan or might be di lang nalinis. I said to myself this is not the church that i want , it looks different prang naging ordinary church na lang sya na naluma na lang ng ganun ganun.

Manila Cathedral
weddings



I love it... d2 ako rarampa ng BONGGAH!
so NEAT!loveeleeeh!

Uno saw how impressed i am and said "Han dito kita pakakasalan" naks! So sa 9yrs nming engaged we thought of marrying in San Agustin.

In 2006 we went to Intramuros, di ko lang sure kung bakit kami andun pero that's the time na na-apreciate ko ng bonggah ang Cathedral. It was dark inside,mdyo gloomy (hapon na ba yun?) there are people praying , some are loitering some are not, Pero still i find the church very Beautiful, it was like dejavu...(u know whatta i mean).. galing na ba ako ditey? (nag aala maruja pa daw ako hahahah)parang MAGIC.... ewan ko pero we have something dibah na nafefeel .... prang ang hirap idescribe pro u knew from the start na heto na talaga yun.... So from then on kasama na sa lists ko ng possibleng church venue ang Cathedral!

"the zupeer winner na aisle"
100 or 120 steps?

1st Sunday of September together with ate shiela, Batel (youngest sis ng pogi ko) and Mama Judith , naks full forced! We visited Intramuros, main purpose is to look for our wedding church and venue reception......Napaka humid ng weather that time pro we did enjoyed the ocular tour. Im not into historic kemeru pero the old walls , capiz windows, stoned walkways always mesmerized me... (very medieval.... very goddesses era)chos! 1st stop Manila Cathedral, we saw how beautiful the church was lalo na when all the lights are open, (since BER months na mas mabilis dumilim so mga 5:15pm pa lang u see how the chandelier lights compliments the old cieling, not so old pla kse it looks so clean prang nirepaint na) ang gandah pra kang asa ibang dimension....Hay wla na atang mas E-ENCHANTING (word for today: ENCHANTING) pa sa view ng church mapaloob at labas ng Cathedral! haylabeeeeeeeet!...

Manila Cathedral at NIGHT!
Enchanting so DIVAH!

Oops i forgot to mentioned during our ocular, me kasal sa Cathedral, feeling ko sinadya ni LORD na maka witnessed kmi ng wedding na bonggah .... (winner tlagah!) So yun habang busy kmi nag uusyoso sa kinakasal, The GROOM whispered " Han gsto mo na ba dito tayo magpakasal? (wlang atubili) i said YES han, gusto ko dito, naimagine ko tuloy ang sarili ko na naglalakad sa red carpet wid all the white calla lilies sa aisle....panalopi! OK hanie ure wish is my command sabi ng Papa Un's,nxt weekend balik tyo so we can make reservations. After a week we went back to Cathedral & attended the seminar & accomplished the DP! ( di nman ora-orada dvah hahahahah!).


heads up:

FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO TIE THE KNOT in CATHEDRAL
* cathedral requires early reservation
* seminar for about to wed couples is required
* reservation fee is 8k
* non-aircon costs 18k
* additional 1k for electricity fee (video/lights)

Pero i heard nag increase na ng fee for 2009? Not sure how much pro TRUE na nagtaas nga sila. After our Canonical last Feb'09 we decided na to pay the Balance, we booked kse Sep'08, So since andun na din lang kami edi sinettle na namin para mabawasan ang mga bayarin and yun nga the Secretary mistakenly provided us with a wrong balance, she thought kasama na kami sa increase (thank GOD hndi) - (one of the so many perks couple's will enjoy if they book their suppliers early.) sa aircon set up its expensive .30k na atah? kaya nga nung inoffer sakin ni Uno, i said NO, ok na tong hndi aircon.hindi nman na mainit ang september and besides 6pm wedding namin so BIG NO no sa aircrush! sayang ang budgey.....(naks natututo nko infairness mag manage ng datung winner)

Our Entourage Gowns

I want this gown details secret sana muna for now, kya lang i can't keep secrets tlgah even on my own wedding hahahahahh! Inspired by our theme motif here's our Entourage Gowns...

FOR MY MAID OF HONOR

this gown was my Maid of Honor's choice..... asa Canada pa ang mareng ko pro this is exactly what she want's.. Bonggah! (ang lakas ng sofa ha).... chareeeng,
pro what i like about this gown is yung V neck Lace cut design,
Very Greek goddess ang dating....



FOR OUR BRIDESMAID

i choose 3 kinds of gown design for my Bridesmaid pro heto ang pinaka bet ko,
bet na bet tlgah ng Bride ang Greek goddesses inspired gowns....
the color will be semi chocolate brown ... at ang tela, naku hndi ko maalala yung
sinabi ni tita GLO (the owner MAG-INA Boutique)..
bsta gnyang gnyan ang gsto kong design for them.
Bet na bet ko yung pa sway sway ng tela while walking,
prang asa runway lang ang mga abays.... luveeet...



FOR MY SECONDARY SPONSORS

luveleeeeeh! this my very first gown inspiration and d2 ko nabuo yung color motif,
i like the simplicity and elegance this gown projects. I fell in love with the color and design of this gown....zupeer winner ang cut ng TUBE hihihihi! ...
Uno even said "ang gandah nman nito han ang simple pro sosyal tignan
(Hmnn coming from the groom's opinion yan ha...
so that means panalopi tlgah ang design.)



FOR OUR FLOWER-POP-GURLS

..

front view.... very nice... i know my 2 pamangkins & my inaanak
will look so prinsesa ala AWESOME with this gown.
so love the color and the design, sna lang wlang mag tantrums ng bonggah sa marcha at
syang ang eksena ng gown na toh pag nagkataon.....
kya pra sa mga kumare ko na parents ng mga flower-pop-gurls be sure na
kumpleto sa orlok ang mgabagets at busog bgo rumampa
pra panalopi ang eksena.

back view... bonggah ng v-shape.... and the ribbon...... hndi sya exaggerated
hndi mukhang pang sagala lang...... luveeeet!

I know most of the entourage members nowadays eh sagot ang knilang gowns and that means they have the liberty to choose what design they want, pro i break the rule hehhehehe! (me mas makapangyarihan pa ba sa Dashing Bride hhahahahha) some of my friends disagree pro banatan ko ba nman na "minsan lang ako ikakasal hndi mo pa ba pagbibigyan yung gsto kong design at mananahi" hahahahhaha! so ang ending akei ang nagwagi. Gsto ko kse uniform ang design pra winner sa picture.,Kaya nman will have one mananahi pra epek ang pagkakagawa.....

Well mahal tlgah akei ng mga Friends ko (or wla lang tlgah silang choice hahahahhaha), even Uno's Friends kse most of the Men's Suit is knya knya din sila..So ang bottom line we don't have to worry and include all of this sa aming Makasaysayang WEDDING BUDGET ! (WINNER)....! hehheheh , pro for both our mom's and Uno's sister definitely kmi ang sagot.hihihihihi!

Oooops Tommorrow is our last & final sukatan partee for the Entourage...., ill be joining them of kers and Cathy will be there also to assist...exciting.....

Couple's Passion for FOOD

"There are reasons why couple's stick together"
some reasons are they have something in common,some because they share
both love for TECHIE's , some both have passion in reading books,
some because they are really meant for each other,
But for us one of the reason why we jive a lot is
because we both have passion for FOOD hahahahah!

I fell in love with this sticker the first time i saw it...I like it , i like it, i like it! so I emailed the supplier to check if they accept orders outside US? Sadly they don't, Na frustrate nman ang dashing bubbleee Bride ..... isip kng pano mpapasakamay tong mga kembot na toh! teneng! si ate liza hhihihi.... perfect timing nman at lately me communication kmi ni ate Liz (my friend & ate who's in the US)....

*lovely stickies*

so yun nga supeer email ako ke Ate Liz, hanggang she offered to order those stuffs and then ship it to Manila, (What a Lucky Dashing Bubbly Bride I am wehehheeeeh (ang haba whew!). Owe u a lot ateh.... a million thanks!

The Next day i was so excited i spent the whole afternoon browsing the web until i saw this can openers, (hmmn) it looks nice ->its so nice it does comes in tag's too and a personalized box..... a nice gift for our principal sponsors and male entourage????? so i asked ate Liz if she can include this can openers to my order.. (pra isang bagsak na lang).

*the can opener*

oops wait im not yet done hehehe,(syempre pa wlang sawa ang pagbrowse ko dvah so me na-ispatan na nman akei) this chocolaty brown pillow rings. (naku pangatlo na to, maisara na nga tong suppliers website or else i end up seeing good stuffs again & again heheheh) kse nman this website has its ceremony "must have" portion na nkakalokah tlgah at andaming mgagandang pag giblak hndi lang sa basta guest even sa friends...

*the chewy chocs pillow rings*

Hir it iz.... tantararan the chocolatey pillow ring, simple pro it matches our motif very well, so again kahit na nakakahiya na ke ate liz eh i even asked if she can add 1 pillow rings. Hay I cant wait to open the box filled with stickers , can openers and our pillow ring.
