Wedding Essentials

I’m guilty of not being able to update as much as I want too.. It has been so hectic in the office and stressful too. Balancing work with your wedding prep is really a challenge and I salute those brides who are able to do so with grace under pressure. Here! Here! to all of you!

So here is my update ... I finally have a choir ... thanks to my dad, he was able to contact one of the choir at the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd here in Fairview. They are really heaven sent. I was already loosing hope then with only two weeks to go before the wedding and I still haven’t got a choir. We even planned to just play a CD during the mass but that would ruin the beautiful ceremony and the amazing ambiance of Caleruega. But I know God wanted this day to be perfect as much as we do that’s why even on a short notice the choir agreed to sing at my wedding. They are scheduled to do a dress rehearsal on Monday next week.. I can’t wait… I just know they’ll be great!

Last weekend, we went to get the rest of the entourage’s gowns. Good thing that they were able to fix Ellie’s dress (she’s my Matron of Honor). I hope they fit perfectly on them. We also did some shopping ... bought table runners for additional accents on our tables in the reception, also bought rolls of ribbons and accents for my bouquet and the entourage’s flowers, candles for the giveaways, our unity candle, some bubble tubes for the kids, accessories for the ladies in my entourage and I also bought some accents for my hair (shaped in flowers with rhine stones). We also bought our bible as well.

It was one helluva weekend. I search and search for the perfect shoes for me but to know avail. I found one, but I was reluctant to buy it. So after some days have passed of thinking and searching, I’ve decided to buy the shoes but my friend Kim told me that when she passed by the store, its already closed. Panic has stricken me. All my entourage have found their shoes even my mom already bought hers, I the bride with 1 weekend to go until my big day has not yet found the perfect shoes. Gosh! Please show me the way to my bridal shoes!
