It's my first day as a wife today!!!

(as posted at W@W yahoogroups)

Grabe! I still can't believe tapos na ang wedding..parang gusto kong i-rewind ulit yung mga nangyari kahapon from the moment I woke up (6am) until we slept last night, tired but definitely with smile on our faces...and with our hearts sobrang thankful for everything that happened. Yes..finally! I'm an official wifey na ngayon hehe!The wedding was great! Though my mga minor glitches, it was still the dream wedding that we had in mind since we started preparing for it one year ago. Grabe sobrang indescribable ang feeling..being married to the man you love most and celebrating it with the people close to your hearts.

Here's a pic with the gifts at the hotel room taken using my sister's phone cam..see the rings on our fingers?

To follow na lang ang complete supplier ratings as we'll be leaving tomorrow for our honeymoon (Bora). Pero just want to share muna yung mga fave suppliers ko that delivered well yesterday...

Our OTD coordinator - Christine Daria-Estabillo and her team (Edith,Jun, Joseph & JP of Out of the Box Events)..sobrang love ko sila...di ko lam gagawin ko pag ala sila. All the details from my hotel preps until the reception ended..sobrang well taken care of.

Sentimental Groove - o di ba? naging instant fave ko sila kahapon.I know daming negative feedbacks sa kanila lately (nag-rant din ako sa kanila before because of their coordination with their clients..di ba geri?) Supposedly enamel lang ang booked band namin sa kanila..Surprisingly, TSG1 (the orig group) came and instant upgrade ang nangyari without extra cost (na-cancel daw ang orig bookings nila for dec17 that's why samin sila napunta). Ang dami pang singers na dumating..feeling ko lahat sila nasa wedding namin yesterday. Si Johann, May, Candy, Ronald and may isa pa na di ko alam ang name.The emotions during my bridal march..ang tindi! umapaw ang mga luha..not only my dad and I were emotional..marami sa mga guests ang naiyak..Feel na feel ko ang lakad ko..sobrang nakakadala kasi yung boses ni Johan when he sang You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban.(dedicated sa dad ko as he walked me down the aisle) Ganun din sa Our Father..si Ronald naman ang kumanta..according sa mga guests namin, kinilabutan sila sa galing.

Kenneth Uy - natuwa ako sa kanya kasi he made me feel at ease during the pictorial..magaling din siya kasing magcoach kung pano magpose. I was not tensed promise..sarap mag pictorial kapag alam mong ang ganda-ganda mo courtesy of my next fave supplier...

Joan & loren - formerly of clamar..ang bilis nilang magmake up and pulido. Paul's mom, my sisters and I all looked great. Feel na feel namin ang make-up. Thankful din ako sa weather kahapon...my wedding was at 11 am.Umambon lang onti kahapon which was fine..at least di mainit or di naman umulan. I think it rained ng medyo malakas sa hapon yata nung naguwian na ang guests. Buti na lang sa hotel yung reception so no problem actually kahit umulan.

Side kwento lang..we were scheduled to have our 11:30 am wedding mass pero since kami lang pala ang morning wedding yesterday which nalaman lang namin last sunday, we asked permission if we could start earlier and pumayag naman ang parish. Buti na lang 11 am nilagay ni paul sa invitation (i know we violated the etiquette thingie here). Sina Paul 10:15, andun na sila..ako naman 10:30 nasa church na rin. Aga di ba? We could have started thereon ksi medyo marami ng guests and complete na ang mga abays..Guess who's late? My dad and our principal sponsors! They came at exactly 11 am. Nagstart na ang mass 11:10 na ata. I even texted my bro who's with my dad ontheir way to the church na since late dad ko, bawas ang kakainin niya sa reception. Kaya ayun pagdating..takbo agad siya..naka line-up na ang ento..as in siya na lang ang kulang.Haha..haba na pala ng nipost ko..basta will soon post my supplier ratings and other kwentos.

Sa mga next in line na fellow Dec brides..good luck! ang tip ko lang...just enjoy the moment..let your coordinators or your abays face the problems that may arise. Sila na ang bahala dun..Isa ko pang tip, prepare your thank you speech beforehand or at least prepare a list of those who you want to thank..nakalimutan kong i-acknowledge mga suppliers ko during the speech :( siyempre it would mean a lot to them. Bad trip talaga ako. Anyway, I'll send each and every one of them a thank you note na lang. Till my next post na lang..with pictures na of course. Mamaya makukuha ko na kay kenneth uy ang cd. :D
