Food Tasting

54 days to go before the BIG EVENT. This is like the Super Bowl of my life. The most awaited day of my girlfriends. Why? Because it’s the day that I would say…"Yes, I Do" to the man I was born to love in front of all of them. The jitters and the butterflies won’t go away.

My weekends have never been so hectic in my entire existence. Since May, Adrian and me have been out on weekends to prepare for the wedding. Today was the best part of all…food tasting. We were joined by the food experts, my mom, my brother Dave, and Ezra. I did not invite too many people for the food tasting because I was informed that food were just good for 2 persons, but when they served the soup, it was in a big bowl good for 6-8 people. And as the entrées are being brought in and placed in our table, we were surprised to see so many food. It was not a food tasting at all, but rather a complete meal in it self. We were glad that we didn't have to leave the clubhouse to have our lunch, because the food tasting was enough to fill our bellies. Well anyway, all the food taste good, except for the balsamic salad, which we replaced with a tossed vinaigrette salad. The grilled blue marlin with broccoli and oyster was the best course of all. Ok enough of the food. Just the thought of it makes me hungry.


So we have already arranged with the reception personnel what we want the grand ballroom to look like. Ezra even draw the flower arrangements and the table settings that we want and asked them sign it. Just to make sure it will come out, as we want it to be. I also made the deposit and reservation for our room on the day before the wedding.


Afterwards, we headed to Caleruega to pay for our balance and so that my mom and bro can see the chapel in person. Though Caleruega is giving copies of the missalette from the previous weddings that took place there, I still bought a wedding missalette booklet as guide so I can already finish my missalette. We also took some more pictures of the serene landscape of the place. (Additional pre-nup pics..hahaha!). We also stopped by some florista and plant growers in Tagaytay along its highway and asked for their rates. We are planning to get the flowers from Tagaytay rather than transporting flowers from Dangwa.


Before leaving Tagaytay, we pampered ourselves with Yellow Cab Pizza. It was a great way to end our trip. And as the fog gets lower and lower and the rain is waiting to fall, we headed home. And tomorrow, its wedding gift registry day...another (most) anticipated part of the preparation. This will be exciting!
