Story behind choosing the church and the reception venue (part 1)

Before preparing for our wedding we already talking on where we want to get married and I said to him that I want in Caleruega. H2b doesn't want there because many couples were getting married on the said church. He wanted something different. We are choosing between  St. Lourdes, Chapel on the Hill and Caleruega. I don't like St. Lourdes because it's too big for us. Our guests will not fill up all the chairs because we only have 150 guests. Chapel on the Hill for me is like gloomy (walang dating.. parang ang lungkot lungkot). Caleruega.... a very beautiful place, solemn and peaceful. So I told him to choose Caleruega for it has a perfect place to get married. :)

When I was searching on the internet regarding reception venues in tagaytay the place that attracted me most was the Ville Sommet. It's really a big venue. A glass house with a garden. Perfect for the reception we want. When I emailed them and ask for the quotation of their wedding packages I just said @$$%%#... Oh my gosh it's so expensive.. as in!



Ville Sommet's Garden (super ganda kaya super mahal din :P)





Ville Sommet's Glass house

The place that attracted my h2b was in Splendido so we had an ocular visit in tagaytay and we went to splendido for the wedding packages. And again a very pricey place! :(

We don't want hotel for our venue because his sister's wedding reception held in a hotel that's why he wanted a venue something diffrent from it.

We don't want garden restaurants that's why we didn't choose josephine's resto, Sonya's Garden and Antonio's garden. And we don't like a resort venue. (eh d sana sa pansol nalang namin dinaos... hahaha)

So we agreed to choose the Nurture Spa. It's a very nice place and has a great wedding packages! (swak na swak sa budget namin :) )

Supplier's List

Before booking to our suppliers first thing we did was to booked on the church and the reception venue. Because these are the main two things that we need to do first before anything else. We have to book the church for this is very popular in the wedding event. We want to get married in Caleruega so we went there a year before our wedding.. Our plan is to get married on December 2011 or January 2012 but in our dismay December 2011 was almost fully booked! :(  The only available slots are 13, 24, 25 and 31! And we don't like the date. So we looked for January 2012 and the date we chose is January 27 it's friday. When we got home my h2b told his parents that our wedding will be on January 27, 2012 and they said we have to change it because they don't like friday, so we called in Caleruega and told them that we changed the date from January 27 to January 6, 2012. (His parents want January 6 because it was their wedding anniversay). But when I told it to my parents, they also disagreed because my father doesn't want the number 6 and because it's also friday! So again, we changed it from January 6 to January 9 it's monday at this time. My mother agreed on the date because it was full moon (they said it is lucky to get married when its full moon) and because it's also the feast of the black nazarene. But when my h2b told his parents they disagreed again because if we set it on monday some of our guests will not be able to come because they are working. So again and again we changed it from January 9 to December 24, 2011. Both parties agreed on the date! :) Happy us because the date was settled! After 2 weeks my h2b called me and said that his parents want to changed the date again! (waaaaah! I really wanted to cry, I have this feeling that this wedding will not happen this year.. ;( ) So my h2b called in caleruega and in our reception venue to changed the date for the 4th time! He chose June 23, 2011 but before changing the date he asked me first and we called our parents if they agreed on the date. It's thursday this time but our parents can't do anything about it because all weekends of 2011 are fully booked. Thank God! Finally! the date was settled! Tunay na tunay na tlga to! ^_____^.

Pamamanhikan

Welcome back! Whew! I miss blogging! :) Anyway this is a late post.. I really don't have time to blog.. Becasue I'm working 5days a week and for the weekends I'm cleaning the house and spending time with my h2b.

Anyway I just want to share the pamamanhikan of my h2b. It was last January 22 at 6PM. That morning I don't know what to feel. I'm thinking what are the things that we need to talk about? We already preparing for our wedding na kasi before the pamamanhikan, so I guess it's formality sake na lang and also to meet na rin ung relatives of both sides. The first one who was talked was Christian's father, he introduced himself, his wife and kids and also their siblings.. After that it was my father's turned to introduce us to his family.

After introducing our partidos, we talked about the church, recepction venue, principal sponsors and so on...

At super bongga ang tagal pa bago umalis.. d makaramdam.. dugong dugo na ilong ko.. :)

Another scene was, I saw him coming into our cubicle what I did was I went to the water station to get water and also to avoid him na din.. kaso ang lolo mo ang tagal umalis that's why pagbalik ko andun pa din sya.. So no choice dugo na naman ang ilong ko.. haaayyyyy...

Third scene, he passed by in our area and look at me and tolits.

We celebrated Domski's bday on the exact date of his birthday that was last October 24. Our meeting place was in SM Calamba. We had a dinner in Max Pansol. Though we're not complete again, but still we had so much fun. Talking some college days bloopers.. hahaha! I can't forget that.. :) I really thank God for having friends like you guys. You're so the best.

We have gifts for Domeng. The cake c/o Me and Jean, and the Tacos c/o Chelle. And because we brought foods in Max that was not from them we have to sign a waiver as a proof in case something happen to us. Kung ma-food poison man kami it was not just because of their foods kasi nga may dala kaming iba.. gets ba? hehehe...



This was the waiver I'm talking about. :)




Superfriends having dinner at Max. Thanks Domz!
