aling naty's sisig and my wedding gown

Some XXX miles later, on a street somewhere in Angeles City, Pampanga (or was it Clark?), while eating the original Cabalen sisig (freshly chopped, with lotsa lotsa white onions!!), dinuguang pata, assorted chicken parts (ass, heart, etc), glass of cold pale pilsen for the boys and San Mig Light for me, and somekinda roasted and toasted peanuts --- Gegs and I finally decided on the styling of our wedding. With the help of course of none other than Tito Ga. :))

It's true, why would we be afraid to stand out from our guests, its our day! :D

So now I have the style of my gown, and we now know how we could tie-up our looks (with a little help from tito Ga). I can't wait!

Hmmm.. What to do, what to do?

finally! Church is officially booked!

 After months of hemming and hawing... We finally went to Sanctuario del Sto Cristo yesterday, 15 June 2010.

We accomplished the application form, submitted our Baptismal and Confirmation certificates, and paid the full amount for the church. Our Canonical Interview is scheduled for 10 July. Our Pre-Cana is on 10 October. Ü

We fell in love with the Church! I love the chandeliers and the stained glass windows.. I love the walls... The church is simple and elegant. We're just so glad our date was still free, even if it's kinda late already, and most churches are booked 'til December. Good thing our wedding date falls on a Wednesday. Ü The church is kinda big for what we initially envisioned, but it's okay. Plus, we noted that parking space is ample.

Ours is an afternoon wedding, 3:30 PM. Now we can start on the invitations! Next stop: Cafe Ysabel and meeting with designer.

i got my baptismal and confirmation certificates!

A few weeks back, I almost freaked out when I learned from my brother that they can't find my confirmation certificate. (But then again, there was enough time to get confirmed again.)

For some reason, I can't remember my own confirmation. My 1st communion, I can recall. But my confirmation? There are no pictures, and apparently, I wasn't confirmed with my friends from high school. I checked my old diaries (good thing I wrote down almost everything), and my confirmation was mentioned in passing. I concluded I was confirmed some time between November and December of 1998. 

When my brother returned to San Vicente parish with that bit of information, they said they didn't have any record for La Consolacion (my high school) for that year. My brother sent me an SMS. I was in a meeting. I panicked. Good thing, my dad was with him. And he asked the office to check, not considering my high school. Lo and behold, they have my name!

Why did it take so long? When I gave my brother money a month ago to get my certificates? Parish offices are not computerised. They search the record books manually. Gosh. That's why they needed a precise date when you ask for your certificate. Easier and faster.

So guys, if you can't recall when you were baptized or confirmed, better search for it first before you request for your certificates. Not unless your parish is high-tech.

Save the Date girls and guys!

wedding theme

I think I mentioned several times that our theme would be red and black with a touch of gold. But for our guests, we have one other request: to come in jeans :)

To give you an idea of what we mean, check out the pictures below :))
