Guestlisted

One of the crucial things on the wedding planning is counting the guests to invite. Having too many friends from different parts of my life made ​​listing guests too hard! On Dale's side, he was closer to His family meaning he wanted to invite lots. Hahaha! This map from Pinterest helped us in Considering people to invite:





Guest count so far reached 200 + from my, Dale's and mom's side. We are expecting 10% of those will not come, mostly on mom's side. Hahahaha! So we are expecting 180 guests to come to the wedding. I'm actually the kind of person that I want the people in my wedding to be somebody I still talk to after leaving the comfort zones I have not used to those I have not talked to for years. These people are the one I want to witness this victory of us, the people who loved us, stayed and cared for. :)

It's a tough decision who to invite. But I suggest that invite people closest to your heart, especially if you're working on a budget! It will be an intimate wedding and I want our wedding to be that way. :)

Anyway for Makati weddings, you can check them out.

There was no second thoughts at first, we dropped by as early as September 2013 to book the Church. But admin people told us that they'll start reservations for November 2013 after the semestral break. So we waited.

The Promise

One of the things I'm most excited about if the Wedding Vow. Well I'm not even sure if personal vows are allowed at St. John Bosco, haha! But I'm excited to write one. I was looking at Facebook when I came through this article . It was a blog about revising your own vows you made during your wedding, something more realistic. She said, " Yes, marriage vows are meant to be idyllic and inspiring, to remind us that true love still exists, to bring an entire room to tears. Our wedding day promises are about love and hope and how we'll come from our best, not about housecleaning or self-development or what to do when we feel like murdering each other. Imagine the nervous laughter (or horror) if someone vowed to only hate her husband for short periods of time? None of us can possibly know at the outset what our marriage will bring or what tools we will need. Marriage has challenged almost every assumption I had about myself and my husband. It has asked me to stret...
