We Are Family

We celebrated our 25th monthsary yesterday. We had dinner at Global Cafe then we went to Starbucks afterwards. It was really great as we had a lot of time to talk. M0rn1ng brought with him a list entitled : 50 Ways to say I love You. We had sooooo much fun discussing it. He also gave me a greeting card with a heart warming message :
I love you enough to fight for you, compromise for
you , and sacrifice myself for you if need be.
Enough to miss you incredibly when we’re apart,
no matter what length of time it is for and
regardless of the distance.
Enough to believe in our relationship, to stand by it
through the worst of times, to have faith in our
strength as a couple, and to never give up on us.
Enough to spend the rest of my life with you, be there
for you when you need or want me, and never,
ever want to leave you or live without you

I love you this much.

Here are some of the things I did for our wedding preps today :

(1) Called Hillsborough to ask update on our request letter. I was able to talk to Donna and she said that the letter is still with their main office. She promised to call me as soon as they have it approved. They also agreed to let us use the Hampton Court in case it rains on our wedding date and as long as nobody books it. Given that our wedding date falls on a Monday, there is a slight chance that it will be occupied. Yehey!!!!!

(2) I had the pictures of our venue printed. This is in preparation of our Divi and Dangwa trip on Friday. I had to show the florist the picture of our venue so that they could visualize the arrangements needed to spruce up the place. I also had the picture of the bouquets and gowns printed as well. I must say that we are quite ready for Friday.

(3) Asked around for the cost of glass cylinders which can be used as centerpieces. I was able to dig Jeck’s (w@wie) post regarding this. I called up the store he recommended and was able to talk to Naning. She told me she will check if they will have stocks and she told me that it only costs 80 bucks per pc. I think we will just make our own centerpieces. We will buy calla lilies at Dangwa and put these on the vases. Then we will just ask Batis Asul to put it on the tables. We will also ask around for the cost of tea light candles. I hope it won’t be too expensive as we do not want to go beyond our budget.

Cost (Warning! Estimate only) :
Glass Cylinders : 13@ Php 150-80 >> Php 1,950-1,040
Flowers : 13@Php 40 >> Php 520
Tea light Candles >> Php 200

(4) M0rn1ng and I are discussing about our luminaries. I think we need 400 luminaries. We haven’t come up with a concrete plan on how to go about this. However we are toying with the following ideas :

a. Buy luminaries of past brides.
Pros : Less hassle.
Cons : I don’t think it is possible to obtain the needed 400 luminaries just by this way.

b. Do it ourselves using chicken wire.
Pros : More cost effective.
Cons : We need manpower to execute this.

***I’m leaning on doing it ourselves. I’m planning on asking Papa to provide us the pre-cut chicken wires and we will assemble it.

Now I wonder which is better. M0rn1ng is also thinking about it and we need to decide soon. If we are going for plan b, then I need to provide Papa the specs so that we can get it by 3rd week of Dec when we all go home for the pamamanhikan. Hmmmmmm…..

Cost (Warning! Estimate only) :
Candles (6 pcs per pack) : 66@ Php 25 >> Php 1650
Japanese Paper : no idea….
Glue : no idea
**** I guess this will cost around Php 2000-2500
