on the gazebo

This was taken by Uncle Arthur yesterday.

They're building a gazebo.

And I took this picture today.

We will be having our rehearsal dinner here at Lolo's front/side yard.

I would have loved our reception to be here but this lawn cannot accomodate the size of our guests and also, Mama doesn't want to worry about the weather on that day. So, the family opted for a covered venue.

But I would have loved to have all this greens in my pictures.

PS: This would be even better by December whent the flowers then would be in full bloom.

Praying that the family would all be here for Christmas. ^^<

A lot are getting excited on our bridal ride.

I bet i won't be the first one to get a ride on the decorated cart on my wedding day. I do hope that there's no Filipino superstition against riding this before the day.

Anywayz, Auntie Yayang says that shes excited to decorate this already.

Uncle Arthur loves the weathered wood. It has that vintage appeal to it.

This one really gets me looking forward to the big day.

This is so not becoming my wedding...

Who says about the wedding being the bride's way?

Na ang bride naman ang masusunod?

This whole experience has not been like that for me.

I've gotten my way with some not because of some compromise but because they actually had wanted it that way in the first place to.

It's so hard to accept how they have me had my way with my stuff all these years of my life and in

MY wedding day... they simply want me to please almost everyone!

INCLUDING THOSE THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW OR CARE ABOUT!

Including those people that I don't even want in my wedding in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I am sounding like a brat out here... but this is exactly what this blog is for.

Just to let my negative energies out so I won't become the bridezilla that all those bridal magazines have been warning about.

But is there a such a thing as a _________zilla?!

I'm not saying that they are entirely ruining this wedding for me.

But they certainly make me want all of this to end!

The wedding that I had long planned... yes... even before i met anyone suitable.

I am tired of trying to match their/your expectation.

And I hate the way others think that I am having my way when I am not!

Why won't you just have your own weddings? all over again if you wish?

Had all those people been helpful?

Had all those work paid off?!

I know I am so unbecoming of the Christian that I should be.

I am sorry, Lord.

But I know that You wouldn't have it against me either if i vent up this feelings.

on the invites

need your help on deciding which one is better for our invites...

anywayz, i noted that our names and te dates should be moved towards the center... & that there are still pencil lines on the card at one corner :) i would be erasing that.

this is just a sample so you can help me decide on which one to make for the rest of the invites.

i think i like the one with the jaket(dark teal with silver cartoon)+white card+banting

best...

 but i am confused with not using the white card too... anyhow it would be placed in a card envelope...

but i'd be using the one with the jacket only (w/o the bantings) for the general invites.

PS: i wish i could include the bamboo background as well. but i guess that would be way beyond the price that we're willing to spend.

Thanks a lot!

Hi! just updates

It's been a while since i really wrote anything here.

I've been busy... obvious.

Anyways, i know i'd be busier soon.

I've already invited friends through the events in facebook.

The invitations are done. And Dennies would be here again on  the first weekend of July. I am excited! Then, we get to do the wedding prep together. We'd spend the weekend handing down invites to friends... and a lot of talking.
We'd probably go down to barayong to help paint the Church.

We'd be having some time off to watch THE LAST AIRBENDER.

I am indeed feeling so blessed. Enjoying God's blessings!
Now, we're thinking of the wedding as a thanksgiving... so the idea of the communal feast that this is ending up to be. Far from the intimate wedding that we had first dreamed of.
