Hitting the One Month Mark!

Hitting the One Month Mark!

Grabe! I may have just told you guys I’m umay but it doesn’t mean I’m ready for the big day! Let’s just say Im ready for life after the BIG day but the details of the BIG day has not been covered as much as I would like it to be!

And, I never thought I would say this (as I was never a homebody ever since), pero miss ko na tumambay sa bahay namin! Araw araw na lang umaalis, be it to meet suppliers, canvass stuff, distribute invites, go to parties of relatives, etc etc. I miss sleeping the whole day and just bumming around in front of the TV. Karay karay ko pa si Matthew since the new maid (I think I havent posted this yet, we have one. Not that it affected me as much since she doesnt take care of Mato - she doesnt like kids.) cant handle being alone with Matthew.

Edil, on the other hand, is I-dont-know-what. When I kid him na “Malapit na!”, he gets that all-serious look. I know, pressure. Not pressure from me though, but pressure where to look for all the money we need! LOL. He told me that he cant focus on the “marrying” part yet when he needs to get across “where-to-get-the-money-so-we-can-marry-part” yet! Poor boy. We will get by though. I know we will. Edil just cant shake off the “Im-supposed-to-pay-for-everything” part.

The gift Im trying to prepare for him is 95% done - just need to write the story, which would be the most difficult part. Im thinking of buying him the perfect watch as a wedding gift (since he hasnt been able to splurge on himself since we started planning the wedding), but so far, I havent seen anything that is near the “perfect” watch I want. Oh well.

Seems like Im babbling here already.

_____________________
Whew. Medyo madami pa din kelangan gawin pero we are doing well, going with the flow, hehehe. Our meeting with Threelogy yesterday was good. We might go with the full AVP with interviews. Edil had this unique idea of doing the interview a la E! with blue couches/director’s chair and the movie poster he made. I just hope we still have time for it though.
The caterer hunt is finally finished! And I can say we are truly meant to be stressed in finding her kasi she’s such a great find! More about them on the next post. Need to work!

    hi aggie,

    have you found a mug supplier yet? di you want them personalized? if not, and if you only need a few lang naman, you can try the multiple choice brand. it’s available in sm and rustan’s. they have mugs and cup and saucer sets in tin cans. they’re very nice din and i think reasonably priced.

    hey, if you need help on the liturgical songs, maybe i can help you. what did you have in mind?
