Might come as a surprise to my friends but I want my wedding to be very simple. Maybe because this is how I want to bid goodbye to my fun and fancy single-life. I want our wedding to be minimal up to the tiniest detail. Quaint church, intimate reception, plain gown, just downright simple! Also, I just can't believe how weddings have become very complicated and elaborate these days and although following the trend is nice and all, I'm straying away from that.
First of all, me and H2B are not a wealthy couple. Yup, we are not rich. We consider ourselves "not rich" and you can't convince us that we are well-off no matter what you say. Haha! And while we want our wedding to be very special and we are tempted to go off our tabs just to make that happen, it all boils down to one point - we are not rich.
Aside from budget constraints, I don't believe in spending the money that you still don't have. I can understand why some couples would want to get a loan just to have their dream wedding. That's their choice and I am not at all against it. Let's admit it, once you're into the wedding planning, you will move heaven and Earth just to have the most beautiful wedding because this is a once-in-a-lifetime event and it's a very important milestone in our lives. I also have to admit, as a recovering shopaholic with a fancy for the beautiful and pricey things, I am tempted to spend all of my moolah including H2B's up to the very last cent but I have to control myself... This is a personal test of how mature I am now. I can't act like I've been acting before. I'm getting married and will start a family for Pete's sake! I need to grow up and it starts with holding on to my emotions when I am tempted to splurge on our wedding. Haha!
Have you also been researching on all things weddings these days? OMG!!! Since when did we need to have a "Will you be" card and gift? I thought you just need to have a nice lovely chat with your friends and tell them that you want them to be part of your entourage? And who invented "Save-the-Date" card and video? This is just adding up to an already stressful wedding planning! Sure they are all so very nice and pretty to have but what about us who can't afford these things? We are being left out here with all these inventions that people are doing just to earn money. I really need to hold on to myself and not be tempted to spend on these insignificant things (sorry. we all have our own opinions). If ever I'm convinced that I need these things (because these stuff are really tempting especially because everybody have them), I promise that I will not spend a dime (or at least not spend my H2B's money).
So there, after seeing countless photos and videos of beautiful weddings, I swear that when I'm tempted to go the Manila Cathedral+Sofitel or St James Alabang+Bellevue route, I will remember the reasons why once in my life, I swore on a the simplest wedding. Anyway, love is not complicated so why will I complicate our happily-ever-after? :)

almost booked!
614 days to go!!! It's still so far away but sometimes, I get so very much tempted to book suppliers already. I was at the Themes and Motifs wedding expo at the SMX convention last Saturday, September 25 and I almost book a video, photo and invites supplier. I couldn't help myself! Good thing, I remembered to consult things first with H2B since it's his money anyways.Haha!
I was ready to give the 10K downpayment to Phoeben Teocson videography. I actually had the chance to talk to him in the bridal fair. He seemed very humble and friendly. The rates are still the same as what he have in his website but he gives out more than 10K worth of freebies. As soon as I knew that a crane will be part of the freebies, I was sold. I saw his works online and both H2B and I are impressed! And the crane, oh the crane!!! Me likey!!! We we're actually quite sure that we want him to cover our wedding even if we haven't browsed all the other videographers out there so, why not give him 10K and lock the price and block the date?
I also almost booked Chito Vecina and Ramon Bautista as our photographers. Their are actually seasoned photographers and they both have worked for Inquirer and covered the weddings of celebrities like Claudine Barreto and Cheska Garcia. Chito's style is more on photojourn while Ramon's is more fashion-y. They actually have different teams but they have collaborated only for the expo. Their photo+video packages are also very affordable considering their talents and experience. I guess the drawback is that I haven't heard of their names in the wedding forums but they have explained to me that it's only recently that they are concentrating on wedding photography as a business; they we're inspired with the different celebrity weddings that they have covered. Plus, let's admit it. Wedding planning is becoming an industry already. *sigh
Even with all that pros for Chito and Ramon, I'm actually half-hearted yet because I also like Paul Vincent. He was also recommended of my very close, photo-enthusiast friends. My friends actually regret getting NicePrint and not getting Paul Vincent instead. I trust my friends and I've seen the works of Paul Vincent and me and H2B both liked it so much! I also saw him in the expo and I have the same feelings when I saw Phoeben, I was starstruck. The person behind the pictures and videos I've been drooling on are actually right in front of my face! They are both very talented individuals and I as soon as I saw thier works, I'm already a big fan. I want to book him too!!! Haha!
As for the invites, I actually talked to Wingdingz and Printed Matter. Wingdingz have very fresh yet elegant invites and the girl I've been chatting was so chica! Their prices are also affordable but then, I am really not particular with the invites. I've made invites for my own debut, both my sisters debut and even for the debut of H2B's sisters so I was thinking of having the invites diy-ed by myself. Then I spotted Printed matter and they have invites for as low as 3K - 100 invites! WOW!!! Now, that's cheap. When I saw the actual P30-invite, it's not bad at all. Very simple yet not cheap-looking... exactly what I have in mind. I was also thinking that maybe I won't have the time to diy the invites later on and 3K for the invites is actually not bad at all! And Kerwin is very nice to talk to. Very straightforward, no BS rapport-building whatever.
So then come next day, H2B and I Skype-d to discuss what happened at the expo and unfortunately, he said no to all of the above. Actually, he said yes to Phoeben but took it back later on. He thinks that it's too early to book since we don't have the church and the reception yet. And what does a good wife-to-be do than to SUBMIT. *sigh I really wanted to lock the price already but I just had to submit.

P/V tipid tips
I've been reading a lot at Weddings@Work and the different bridal magazines. I love that it has become my online support group to all the craziness wedding planning has been. We are going to get married in less than 2 years and budget is so very much tight. By being part of the w@w egroup, I was able to get tips on how to save on your wedding suppliers like your Photo and Video. With these tipid tips, you don't have to settle on a low-priced, low-quality P/V just because you don't have a huge budget for it. So, here's my tipids tips c/o the different bridal reads and my trusty membrane. :)
First off, you need do to your research. Do the most extensive research especially on major suppliers. If you like the works of someone with a name in the business, you can take note of their "style" and by research, you can find new talents with the same approach as the Jason Magbanua's and Pat Dy's of the world. Sometimes, it's not about the experience. Sometimes, it's just about giving these fresh talents an opportunity to show-off so, give them a break and they will never break your bank. ;)
If you are really keen into booking the top of the line suppliers, you can still do that by altering their packages. Talk to these suppliers and customize a package that will suit your budget and always remember the magic word, HAGGLE.
Example, for photo and video, their packages usually include an SDE (same date edit) video, and/or an STD (save the date) video and/or pre-nuptial photoshoot and/or trash-the-dress shoot. You can opt to remove these stuff from the package to lessen the package cost. If you are really keen into having these prenups and AVPs, why not tap a hobbyist friend to do these for you? They will appreciate that you want to involve their talents in your wedding preps and most of all, their fee is just a nice meal at a decent place. Now that's a lot of moolah saved!
If you can't settle for fresh talents and really really can't shake off the prime suppliers, why not avail of their "services only". They usually offer their services even without the album and/or DVD package. This will actually cost a lot more in the future if you decide to put your pictures in a pretty album and have your raw videos edited nicely. But, you can save for these things after the wedding splurge... What matters is that you don't exceed your tabs especially if you can't actually afford it.
Hope these tips help you in one way or another.
And in true w@w fashion, HTH (happy to help) and happy preps!!! :)

church
So now that the date have been finalized, we are now looking for church options. We want to have a private and solemn wedding so we are looking for churches that are not crowded or not easily accessible for people, and is very quite.
Even before, I was sold on Paco Park Church. Even before Jay Contreras of Kamikazee got married there, I wanted to have my wedding in that place. I even dragged H2B inside the park and chapel (it was not yet dubbed as a church during the time) before he went overseas. The place has such unique history which suits our fancy for travelling. It was a former cemetery for aristocrats during the Spanish era which adds that morbid, rock and roll feel and hey, me and H2B are frustrated rockstars. We thought that not a lot of couple would not want to marry there because it's an old cemetery and that's also a selling point for me. I want to get married in a place where only a few couple got married. But as I go along my research and read forums and stuff, I realized, Paco Park Church is actually one of the famous churches where a lot of couples got married.
So now, I'm looking for other options. My sisters at w@w gave me a list of all church in the Metro so I'm not so worried. I still have a lot of time too. :) Right now, I'm interested in that chapel along Shaw Boulevard. I reside in Mandaluyong and pass by that chapel everyday when I go to work. Me and H2B also attended the dawn masses in that chapel before. I went their earlier. I went twice but it was close. Maybe next week, on a Sunday, they are open. Anyhow, at least I now know the name of that chapel. It's Archbishop's Palace at Villa de San Miguel. It might be our church! Yay! :)
love, love, love

excited much
I am probably the most excited bride to be on the face of the Earth, H2B pointed out. I couldn't agree more. Just days after the proposal, and it's like I have everything about the wedding ironed out. I just need a go from H2B and contracts will be signed pronto! Haha! Yes, I am overly excited. It's not healthy. It's adding pressure to H2B and I'm getting close to becoming a bridezilla!
So, even if I lowered down my wedding costs quotations, I decided to slow down my wedding preps and research. To chill out a bit because my Obsessive-Cumpulsive side is taking over me and it's not a pretty site to see. Haha! So there, the date is fixed - June 1, 2012 but I have to restrain myself from obsessing about it. H2B also requested me to not to book anything yet. Just let it rest until the year ends because he is also expecting "something" he might not be able to give his full attention to the things I consulth with him. I thought I couldn't do it but it's been two days and thankfully, Farmville is doing what I expect it to do, to veer away my attention from wedding stuff. Haha!
Anyway, this wedding thingy has been teaching me things. First, I learned how to be secretive. And now, I learn how to control my OC side. It's also making me learn how to appreciate money and how to budget and follow the budget religiously. Ok, the last one needs to be proven as the preps go along but I'm positive about this. At first, I couldn't understand when fellow W@Wies would advise me to "decide on your budget first". Am I not supposed to do the research first then come up with a quotation and provide the money for it? But as I go along this process, I realize that money is tight. That we can still have a nice, simple yet memorable and one of a kind wedding without going over our tabs. That, what's important, more than anything else is that I get to marry the love of my life. I was telling this to H2B a while ago and I couldn't help but well up. I even reached the point where I told him that I'll just wear a rented gown from a gnarly botique from our province and it really cracked him up. Haha! But you know, I would agree to whatever wedding our budget can afford as long as I get to marry him. It's been 9 years already. I just want to be with him. -emo much! haha!
love love love,

frantic
I know that wedding preps should be at a stand-still until October, when we scheduled to finalize things but I'm obssessed about wedding planning since H2B got me started on it. I was actually devastated the other day when we decided to rest the wedding talks for now so I was looking for ways to still make the wedding happen.
We were keeping the wedding thingy to us both because we are still unsure. We also don't want the pressure coming from both our families and more importantly, we want the decisions to come from us both and not influenced by anyone. But while I try to find ways and means to make the wedding happen, I had to 'fess up to my newly wedded friend and ask how much did they spent on their beautiful wedding. After having a happy chat with her, I realized that the quoatations I gave to H2B was off the roofs! So I had to recompute and right now, I'm still not reaching the P400,000.00 mark. It's a far cry from my initial quote of P600,000.00. I was so very excited! There might be hope for us! So later, I'm going to have yet another money talk with H2B. Hopefully, I wasn't just hallucinating when I came up with the "new" budget. Hopefully, H2B approves. Hopefully, 2012 wedding will still push through. YAY!!! :D
love lots,
W2B

reality check: go back to square 1 and keep all options open
All of us wants to have that "Dream Wedding" but with the current economic situation and time constraints, its difficult to make your dream come true.
As I excitedly narate the progress of my research on all things wedding to H2B, I was wondering why he's half-happy and half-worried (?). I still continue with my story about all these wedding details because usually, it cheers him up. He gave me all the creative-freedom to make our wedding the kind that we and our loved ones would pleasantly remember. After a few minutes of talking about all these little knicks and knacks that I want for our wedding, he was still a little zoned-out. I thought he was just tired from the day's work but later on he said "I'm happy and excited. I like all your ideas. Keep doing that so I'll only need to worry about the expenses." So there.
I'm guilty. I never thought about the expenses. I just give him the numbers and entertain him with all these beautiful wedding ideas while he silently worries about our budget. I feel so bad but I still put on my mega-watt smile and offered to compute and figure it out. We don't need a lot of calculations, we know, our funds are not enough. I guess, this was the convincing that H2B neeeds, to consider civil wedding first. I've been telling him about this because I couldn't wait for two long years. We've been bf/gf for 9 years already. I don't want to wait for 2 to 3 years more to finally be with him so I was insisting on a civil wedding first due to insufficient funds. But, he don't want to settle so we compromised to 2 years, a nice church wedding.
I was telling him yesterday that I will go to the church today and ask for the availability of the date we want, terms of payment and what have you. I told him, if my cash is enough, I'll reserve the church pronto. I guess that was the reality check we needed. It'll be less than two years from now and as we compute for our future earnings and savings versus expenses, there's a big disconnect - it's scary.
So now, we are back to square 1. Church or Civil? Date?
take it easy,

dreams do come true
It seems not so long ago when H2B and I would casually talk about the so-called "happy-ever-after" and after going through some wedding-related stuff, it feels like we're so close to having ours.
We created this email address, astropink61@gmail.com solely for wedding stuff correspondences. Then I was inspired to use this account and blog about our wedding-related experiences and so the birth of "the journey to the BIG DAY". We also used this account to join the famous and helpful W@W egroup and since then, I never felt so excited about this wedding thingy. :)
From that egroup, I got information on the upcoming wedding expo, how to start prepping, things to prioritize and consider and so on and so forth. I knew even before that wedding planning is a complicated task but I didn't know that it can be stress-free because every step you take closer to the BIG DAY, gives you an unexplainable elation. After attending the wedding expo at Megatrade Hall yesterday, September 9, 2010, I feel pretty overwhelmed at the task at hand. Me and H2B not only needed to worry about the wedding costS but also, we needed to make sure that the wedding is going to be the kind that we dreamt of. H2B is in Canada and we're kind-of keeping the wedding preps a secret for now so I can assume that I'll do most of the preparations alone. Of course, H2B will always be a video-call away and will always be there to discuss stuff and make decisions but I bet I'm still going to be dead-tired with all the preparations that I need to do all by myself. Not too mention that I have a lot of specifics that I want to incorporate in our wedding and I'm thinking that these would entail me to do-it-myself. I feel like drowning with the the prep-work that I needed to do but thinking about the whole picture and how beautiful our wedding could be, makes me want to jump right into all the chaos of our wedding planning. I'm still on high! I love you H2B :)
love lots,

I feel like drowning with the the prep-work that I needed to do but thinking about the whole picture and how beautiful our wedding could be, makes me want to jump right into all the chaos of our wedding planning. I'm still on high! I love you H2B :)
love lots,

ups and downs
All relationships have ups and downs. Heck, everything I guess have its ups and downs. Being with H2B since 2nd year HS made me accept the fact that we will have our bad days. Yesterday was a pretty bad one but it doesn't mean that today can't be any different.
After blabbing endlessly to H2B about our big day, I realized that yeah, he might be serious about this. So, yeah, I'm happy and we're ok now. Haha! I'm so excited that H2B will also make some DIYs for the big day. He agreed to take care of the song selection and AVP. H2B also agreed to chronicle what he's doing for the big day so you can expect posts from him too. YAY!!! I consider this a biggie 'cause H2B is such a hippie, he couldn't care less. I think, because he wants to avoid fighting, he agreed to do these things. Props goes to moi for being a chatterbox. :)
So yeah, we're back to planning for the wedding. It's fun! It's exciting! It gives such a different high and H2B couldn't agree more. We're still at square one but stay tuned on how we will come through this... No budget yet, no church yet, no reception, no nothing. But in two years, we swear, this will be something. YAY!!! :)
love lots,
