Barely A Week Left...

This is it! Only 5 nights left, and it will be our big day!

Time really flies so fast... too fast that though we have been preparing for 1 1/2 years, there still seems to be some more things that needs to be ironed out. Of course, I shouldn't worry that much because as of the moment, everything is at it should be. However, I cannot help but have this teeny weeny feeling of fear that something might go wrong.

Oh well... by December 6, after our final meeting with our Coord, Kay B., I plan to let go of the preps and just relax. Maybe we will just focus more on preparing for our honeymoon, the better part of this whole thing. Hehehehe, kidding!

Anyway, we have accomplished a couple of things over the long weekend:

Favors, favors
Finally, we have received all favors, including the gifts we will give to our principal sponsors. I wanted to do some fancy presentation of the gifts, but then decided that I should just keep it simple and put some ribbons. They're boxed anyway. Hehehehe. This task was really a concerted effort of Enrique, his sister, and myself.

Missalettes
I've already spoken to our Best Man regarding our missalettes. He was kind enough to volunteer to print the missaletts for us, so we just gave him the papers to use and some instructions. I also made a prototype of what will bind the pages: braided ribbons! Hehehe. It was a bitch though making one. But it's ok, I'm pleased witht he results, and hopefully I will still have time (and will not be lazy) to make them.

Couple's Toast
We also went to the store and bought our champagne for our first toast. For our guests, we decided to just go to Duty Free and buy the wines there. Or, I will just ask my former officemate if she could help me order wines from Ralph's.


Deliveries

Entourage Gowns
We got the gowns from Tet last Saturday. I was hoping everything will be close to perfection but there were still some that I wanted to be adjusted. It will now really depend on whether we will still have time to bring the gowns in question to tet's shop. But if not, the gowns are fine. Hey, the cost of each was really cheap, so I shouldn't really complain much. But overall, I'm still happy with the gowns. :D


Enrique's Barong
Applause is in order for Veluz's team for doing a great job. Enrique was really pleased with the outcome of his braong and pants. We were of course very happy too with the fabric c/o Mang Rey Casedo, and were really pleased with the design that we chose. Simple, yet elegant.

My Gown and Shoes
Oooh... I'm so tempted to post some pictures, but never mind. I didn't bother to look at the whole gown anyway (I might be tempted to try it on). But here's a teaser...
