Ups and Downs

Published by nice under Family, Wedding

UP:

Last week was really great! Mama’s here and it is really good to have a mom at home. There’s always a yummy breakfast prepared on the table. Really, moms can make a big difference in a home. I wish I could be like her na “maasikaso” when I finally get to have a family.

UP:
M0rn1ng and I are talking about the rate for the gowns that Mommy Rose quoted. We both think that it is quite high so we decided to haggle. Yesterday, we got to talk to Mommy Rose and she agreed to lower the price. She asked us what our budget is and she readily agreed. Yipeee! The agreed price is 5k lower than our budget. Next Friday, we will be going to Divi to visit some stores that w@wies suggested and we will compare the price. Then, we can decide who will be making our gowns.

UP : My sister Ivy offered to treat Mama for dinner yesterday. We went to Rockwell to hear Soulful Mood. 3 days ago, I got to talk to their secretary and we are quite excited because they have lower rates. Only 2,500 per instrument. That’s a great savings because String Minstrels’ rate is 10k for a trio. We met Bong and Raffy and they were very accomodating. They even played our favorite song (The Way You Look Tonight) eventhough they’ve already packed their instuments. Imagine our delight when they unpacked the violin and started playing. We were sure right there and then that we are getting them for our wedding.

After that, we went to a Jap resto to eat. We all had a great time including Mama. I know because I heard her talking to Papa this morning and she was telling stories about last night excitedly.

Downs: I called Hillsborough today and our request letter is still not approved. Since we changed our date, we required us to submit a new request letter. We would like to settle this as soon as possible as we’ve heard some horror stories of couples who thought they’ve already settled the place only to discover later that they are not booked. We would like to pay the downpayment so that we will have the necessary documents that we have the place for our wedding date. I hope we can have this resolved soon.

I also called Bernard of Soulful Mood today. I was pretty excited and would like to make arrangements to book them for our wedding. Well, guess what? He told me that they charge 3k per instrument. WHAT!!!!!!! I called M0rn1ng to inform him and we both agreed to wait until the next bridal fair to book our Musicians. I think there will be another fair come January. Isn’t that too late?
