"Forgiving the people who have hurt me the most has given me inner strength. At first, I hated them. I prayed for lightning to strike them dead. But when God showed me His unconditional love, my hatred died down. God was just and merciful. I let Him take charge. Today, I feel no bitterness towards these people. In fact, I prayed for them whenever I remember them. That is not hard because their faces are the ones I still see every now and then." - Kerygma March2003

changes (gown, reception and caterer)

unfortunately tet hagape told me that the gown i wanted might be difficult to make, because of the super difficult embroidery. she said there's no machine that can do embroideries that wide or something...

anyways, i have my next favorite style and design naman so its ok. actually it was my first choice pala, but i was told that lace is much expensive that the usual duchess satin. but after speaking with three designers, we found out that the cost of the gown will just be close to our budget. mike said ok, since i really love that design anyway, and it's unique and super lovely, coz its made of french lace.

will post it next time when i get the sketch from the designer. i havent chosen who among them will do it, but im thinking of getting Tita Mila for my gown and Tet Hagape for my ento.

by the way, the gown will be patterned after Tomasina's.

we almost changed the venue for the reception. now we're back to CTK Parish Hall. we went to Greenmeadows club house but the place might be a little small for 300+ guests. so even when i was in Mindoro, i tried my best to contact Ms Lily of CTK to re-book the parish hall. fortunately, its still available.

***

we also got Delica Catering for the food + events stylist. the package is somehow close to Avengoza's but because we got it during the Megatrade Hall Fair promo, we got lots of upgrade- making it super mega promo na. last night we had food tasting and wow, i was so full! i was able to finish the roast beef- imagine me, not so much into pork and beef- finishing one serving?! i'd say the food is superb. that's why we completed the downpayment already. plus we also got an additional special appetizer at a very reasonable (or should i say cheap) price!

mai! its ok, nagpasama na lang ako kay mike. i saw samples of her work. i'll send you a link to a recent wedding where she did the bride's gown. she's so easy to deal with and i think super reasonable yung price nya. practice ka na ha!
