French Net Sisses Mini EB

Met up with W@W sisses this afternoon at Coffee Bean in Trinoma for a mini EB.

Lyn, one of W@W's DIY queens distributed our french net orders. Being recently wed, she also served as our resource person. Everyone was ready with their pen and paper/notebook (cellphone). It was quite a sight when the brides-to-be all reached for their pen and paper to jot notes when Lyn started talking! It was like being in a mini-forum wherein Lyn was the speaker. Got a lot of tips from her and she was so nice to show us her wedding pictures. Thanks Sis!

Present were Lyn, Maan (ni King), Dah, Shens, Len (ni JR) and Len (ni Orj). Pinky also met up with us but left early.

Here are our pictures.

Our Wedding Rings

Went to the Bridal Fair this afternoon at the NBC the Tent at The Fort.

Jose is not a fan of Bridal Fairs, he does not like cramped places, narrow hallways and a lot of people inching their way to their would be suppliers. I've been telling him about the fair after I got complimentary tickets from my officemate Mai. His usual reaction, uhmmm, deadma... more of he has no reaction...NR. I was glad he said yes to going to the fair when I sent him an SMS last night.

Fast forward to this afternoon...it was very humid...as in! When we got to the tent, his first reaction was... "Parang sa Mega". Not good, "Mega" was where we attended our 1st Bridal Fair. That fair was uber box-office, felt like we were inside the MRT/LRT on a rush hour! I had to check out the ring suppliers fast! First stop was Radiant, the guys manning the booth were very helpful, they had the style of the rings we wanted and the price is not bad. Next stop was V-Gem, the ladies manning the booth were very pleasant, they didn't have the design we want but were doing their best to have an idea as to how it looks like and the price was not bad too. Third and last stop, My Diamond...

The 50% discount poster at the My Diamond store caught my attention, who would miss that hehehe! We checked out the rings (a lot of designs hahaha). We were finally down to 2 designs and not one of them had the style I initially wanted (fickle hihihi, the 50% discount made me change my mind).

Pair#1: 5 stones for the bride, no stones for the groom - this Jose preferred coz of the width
Pair#2: 7 smaller stones for the bride, no stones for the groom - my pick, downside is it has smaller width than #1

Jose picked Pair#1, I picked Pair#2, what did we get?

Pair#2, Jose doesn't want me to rant, I've already set my mind on having 7 stones on my ring! =)

Here's a picture of the ring, we'll do away with the yellow gold, we prefer white gold.

Maid of Honor's Gown Inspiration

My bestfriend Karen, who is based in the US will be my Maid of Honor. I couldn't think of anyone else who'd be deserving of that role on my wedding day. She's my bestest (if there's such a word) friend in the whole wide world! She'll be flying thousand of miles to be here on my big day, right Best?

Here's a picture of the gown inspiration of what she'll be wearing:



Gown will be made of satin in midnight blue with strap on the neck in cotton candy pink.

I'm sure she'll look lovely in that gown by Tita Adora.

Family Planning Seminar

I stumbled upon this blogpost while searching for "getting a Marriage License in Quezon City" and "Family Planning Seminar" related stuffs.

I'm at a loss for words if this is how the seminar will be...

Hilarious!

Excerpts:

The highlight of the entire process was, funnily enough, the family planning seminar! H and I went, expecting to have a boring few hours ahead of us. But the minute the woman conducting the seminar (or "briefing" as she called it) said the word "t*t*," we knew we weren't in for a snooze-worthy biology lecture! I never thought I would hear that word said so many times in a seminar. I couldn't even bring myself to type it here. Haha.

The woman who conducted it was probably in her 40s, and she was so deadpan that it made what she was saying even more comical. Some gems:

Woman: Ang IUD po ay nilalagay sa matres ng babae. Ayaw po ito gamitin ng karamihan ng lalake kasi 'yung iba, natatakot daw na matusok ang t*t* nila. Sir, kita niyo naman kung nasaan ang IUD. Sa tingin niyo ba matutusok kayo diyan? Kung matusok pa kayo, matakot na kayo, hindi na kayo tao.
