What a day this was! Hitting 4 birds with one stone ... No, we didn't kill any of them...I mean,we have accomplished 4 major wedding particulars today. My wedding gown, the invites, principal sponsors’ giveaways and guests’ giveaways. Ezra, together with hubby Butch accompanied Adrian and I to a wedding dressmaker in DV. Yup that’s right, Divisoria. I trust Ezra’s judgment that Aling Ning is quite good in her craft and very affordable too [which is very good for weddings on a budget]. I was so excited when it was time for my measurements to be taken. Reality check: I really am getting married. We also chose the entourage’s fabric, baby pink star satin and glittered fuchsia chiffon silk for the details. I can't wait to bring my entourage for their measurements too. I know they’ll love the colors ... so pink peach is out ... its baby pink-fuchsia for my motif ... its every girl's right to be fickle.. right Kim? I also bought a fabric for my mom’s gown. And I’m so glad she liked it :)
Anyway, lets back track a little earlier in the morning. When Ezra and Butch picked us up at Adrian’s place, Ez, showed me the prototype of the wedding invitation that she made. And it’s an absolute beauty. With touches of femininity because of the flower and pearl. And also a touch of masculinity because of the bark of tree. And what’s cool is that the invitation’s envelope is exactly the color of the entourages’ dress. [Click image to see full size image.]

Moving forward, after a bit of shopping in DV. We went to Dapitan, which is famous for its array of house ornaments and decors. Adrian and I went around and took some pictures of them.. and they are so cheap ...and export quality as well ... we saw a lantern (which Ezra bought 9 pieces of different designs) with a price tag of US$18.99 and they only selling it for PhP 200! (peso-dollar conversion is P54 =$1) When these items are sold in department stores, it already costs 1000-1500 pesos. I’m definitely going back here if we get to have our own house. Anyway, were already on our way to the parking lot when Ezra decided to stop by another shop. And guess what? We found our giveaways! And that’s not all, it cost less than our estimated cost and the design matches our theme... Nature! Yippee! But sorry, won't be posting the picture here.

As tired as a carabao, who worked all day, we went for a relaxing massage, of course the loving husband and fiancé paid for our massages. We actually went in around 3:30 pm and left the day spa around 7:30 pm ... and to think the massage package was just for an hour ... so we actually slept for 3 hours ... but why did it just seemed like for 5 minutes. Waaaah! I want some more of those Swedish-Shiatsu massage!!!
We ended the day with dinner at Gerry’s Grill. What a tiring, fulfilling and relaxing day!
