Two Confirms For Today!!!

Last thought before I go to sleep. (Yup, I've been slaving away on wedding preps for the past 3 days)

I want to express my happiness that two suppliers confirmed for me today.

1) We're going to have the ceremony in the view deck of Josephine Restaurant (Initially we planned to have the ceremony and reception in the Parasol Garden. But since the view deck is available on our wedding date and our budget can accomodate, we decided to get the view deck as well)
2) We'll be having Missy as our emcee for the reception. Yey!!!

So now, I have to make the payment to Missy and when I go home, additional deposit for Josephine Restaurant.

By the way, we've been scouting for invites suppliers and music ensemble. Hmmm.. Busy busy busy.

Game Plan for Marriage License & CCF Requirements

I have been stressed out these past few days thinking how am I going to manage these two. I was actually scared that everything would be ready for our wedding, except that we couldn't find a pastor to perform the ceremony and we couldn't get a marriage license. Crazy ideas coming from a crazy B2B. Haha.

Yesterday, I asked Joy to do a pep talk for me (I badly needed it) So he told me, CCF has about 10 pastors. I shouldn't worry that no one, as in no one at all will be available for our wedding. Okay.. He has a point.

So now, I'm thinking, what would be my game plan in obtaining the requirements for these two? The most important things are the authenticated birth certificate and CENOMAR. I have prepared the app forms and the authorization letters. When Farizza goes home for the Holidays, I will ask her to bring the docs home. Either she requests the docs for me or Gretel does. Hehe. Thank God for my sister and my cousin.

And then, I will have to call Fifi to follow up what's next for us and how do we schedule a pastor for our wedding. Hay.. Sorry kung magulo. Kasi magulo talaga yun utak ko.

It's Time to Look for the Invites

Preparing the wedding invites is a bit difficult for me since both me and Joy are based overseas. It would have been so easy to go to Recto, select a design that we like, haggle, finalize the deal and wait while the drafts are being prepared.

So now, I'm browsing the internet for invites suppliers who have a website and who are capable of coordinating everything while I'm away. I managed to find three and have sent an email to them. Let's see who responds well :)
