The Last 7 Days

Little annoying things are hounding us these days...

there's the payments of course :D Ekshuli, FIL was kind enough to pay for the rest of the catering requirements... He even accompanied Jojo there last monday... and he, too, fell in love with our reception venue.

am still doing some last-minute giftwrapping of tokens... have also started packing things to bring to the caterer on the 27th... and to the hotel.

single-handedly dealt with the missalettes... mastered the art of stapling them :) however, printing them sucked big time... i could never get them to perfectly be aligned when i print them back to back... printed a special set for us and the Priest (it was ring-binded for easier turning) and an a4-big copy for the readers

cleaned up my desk since i'd be away for some 2 weeks

we still don't have a concrete honeymoon venue... and too late i realized, i'd be having my period on january 1. tsk!

already, gifts have started pouring in... cash, kind...

we've also already laid down the linoleum at our bedroom (dad and jojo wanted vinyl tiles which i didn't want because i think am just going to ruin them while i'm still learning to keep house) and i've transferred some of our junk there already...

got most of the gowns from Tet... my Mom's and cousin's are both a little tight... and my niece's was long... but all in all, am just worried over MY gown, which Tet will deliver on the night of the 27th

still has to pass by St. Vincent's Parish Office to sign some sort of contract...but we've already paid the balance there too...

am currently dealing with the 2nd most dreadful thing about weddings (first is payments!!!): the seat plan.

i actually just want general table assignments and zoning of guests... i'd never even dream of listing down specific names per table... it's just not very flexible that way...

am realizing we're exceeding the 300 guests that are already paid for...

although there have been initial "so sorry, i'd be a no-show" calls already... i think we'd still hit 330 guests (considering the group/company/community invites we sent out)

and heaven help me, i still have to deliver an invite to my Ninang...

it's just that am also having sinus allergy attacks and rashes so i'm generally itchy and lazy

so yeah... PMS, wedding stress, nerves, sick nephew, allergies, holidays...



TIP TO THOSE WANTING TO GET MARRIED: Don't in December :D

anyway... now am going back to my dance practice for the office's Xmas Party!

(btw, congrats to my friends who are also December brides... like mai, jacque, chris and charie...)
