Wedding Diary - Preparation

Ronald and I went back to Philippines for our wedding preparation for a week only. It has been crazy, tiring and busy week for us but we're so glad that we accomplished a lot of things. Managed to met up some friends and spent time with our family in between. (Pat on our backs) haha! 

So for the wedding updates:

1. We hired a wedding coordinator because I cannot take it anymore. Initially, I wanted to do it but it's very hard to plan your wedding when you are overseas. I can't visualize my wedding. So before I drive myself crazy, we hired Em (Ronald's friend) to be our wedding coordinator. He is very experienced in handling wedding so I believe we are in good hands. Booked him on a friendly rate. :) 

2. Booked our ceremony and reception venue. We went there with our wedding coordinator to do the planning. We paid the DP to block the date. 

3. Marriage License Application. This was very challenging and nerve-wracking. I realized that if you are dealing with government employees, you really have to be patient. Oh men, they don't even have a good system to start with. Anyway, we still managed to apply for it after all the hassles and process that can be avoided. I believe that there still hope for the Philippines. 

4. Had my HMU trial. I want to make sure that I will be the most beautiful girl on my wedding day. Hahaha! Kidding aside, this is one time big event so might as well go with your best look. 

5. Food tasting with our caterer who is also the in-house caterer of our reception venue. The food was awesome. This is one thing I want our guests to remember after our wedding. I don't want to compromise the quality so we got the best dish that we can provide for them. 

6. Booked our florist. The florist was recommended by our wedding coordinator. Since I trust him enough, we go for it. 

7. Met up with the pastor who will officiate our wedding. I used to be a Victory Christian member before I came to Singapore and still attending whenever I am in the Philippines. I still consider them as my church so I want them to officiate our wedding. We are blessed that Pastor Benj agreed to it. 

So that's mostly the important suppliers/person that we need. Few more months to go and still have a lot of things to do. I know! Just want to be calm and savor this moment. I don't feel any pressure right now. Lol!
