I've had several long weeks. Tonight is one of the very few instances that I got home before 8 pm. I miss writing and if I had my way, I would have posted more about our preps. So to relax a bit, I'm writing on.....

2 weeks to go....I can't wait!

So are we all set? I hope so! Though there are still some details that need to be finalized. For now, let me just share with you our suppliers.


St. Jerome Emiliani and St. Susana Parish

This wasn't our first choice for our ceremony venue. It's not even our 2nd choice. But due to a sudden change of plans, we settled for St. Jerome. I like its interiors plus I prefer not so big churches. This was also where Joe and I first attended mass together. It was the first day of 2008.

Monte Di Portofino Clubhouse, Portofino Heights


It was hard to find a reasonably priced reception venue in the south. We also had a caterer in mind already so hotels were out of the question. Buti na lang I found out about this venue. They require sponsorship if you are not homeowners but when Joe's mom talked to the agent, he allowed us to reserve even without a sponsor! Tita used her charm kasi! (Hmmm...am I allowed to divulge that? ) I've always wanted a poolside reception so this place was perfect. Tapos 1 event lang sila per day so there won't be other people in the area except of course for homeowners using the other facilities. (Photo from http://www.thevenuesearcher.com/?p=1)



Center Table Catering


Joe and I attended several food tasting sessions. I browsed the net and contacted several others to scout for the most value for money package. It was a good thing we talked to Rina at the bridal fair in PICC last year. When I saw their packages, sabi ko sulit talaga! Then when we went to their food tasting at Fernbrook, we said na sulit na, yummy pa yung food. (Photo from http://www.centertablecatering.com/aboutus.htm)



Daniel Lei Studio


I was in search for a reasonably priced (again! ) photographer. Syempre dapat all in na meaning photo + video. There are a lot of good options actually but most were out of our budget. I read about Daniel at the female network forum. When I visited their website, I got so interested because their package included on-site video editing. That alone costs a lot with other suppliers but sa kanila na kasama na! When we went to their place, that was the first time we saw the videos. Super ganda! Joe and I thought na super mega great deal na sila! We had our prenup shoot last Sunday already and I must say that we made the right choice. I can't wait for our prenup shots!
