Wedding Shoes
introducing my babies!
one of the "few" splurges for the wedding!
the heel height is perfect, it's completely re-wearable and i looovvee the color! i added a gold brooch in the other photo to "liven" up the shoe and make it wedding worthy. it looks too plain without it. introducing... my very 1st CL!!! |

Wedding Favors
Our capiz favor box
i am on a roll today! 2 posts in a day (and another one coming up!) hahaha
we got our favors and i LOVE it!!! FMIL ordered it without consulting me or FI but i'm glad it worked out. she paid for it and had it shipped from the Philippines! the favor is made of capiz, which has a pearlescent appearance (think pearls), and mini-seashells formed to look like a flower on the top. we'll fill this out with hershey's kisses for guests to munch on. |

BM gown: hopefully CHECKED!
yesterday I said I was going to the shop to see the samples which I did.
however, the one color that i really liked from the manufacturer's website was the ONLY color that they do not have a swatch :-( and i still ordered it!!! i hope, hope, HOPE it turns out the way i wanted it! if not... i'll just take it as it is. i don't want to stress on this anymore. here's what i *finally* ordered: styles#282 and 285 in COGNAC. |

BM Gown: UN-check! aaaggghh
the shop where i purchased my girl's gowns called - the manufacturer does NOT carry the vintage gold color anymore!!! (i had a hunch that this was going to happen because i've been checking mori lee's website and they don't have it listed! GRRR)
the saleslady told me i should check their website and call her back once i've decided. i am NOT just going to call this in. i told her that i'm GOING TO GO THERE when i get off work TODAY because i HAVE to actually SEE the color swatch because based from experience, what you see in pictures is different from what the actual is! so i'm stuck with a few options... taffeta material is definitely out. i have to see which of the satin or chiffon colors are close to the gold that i want. i've narrowed down my collor options to: chiffon - maize / buttercup / cognac / cream OR satin - palomino / maize / cognac and also narrowed down to 4 different styles. agghhh. i just want to get this over and done with!!! |

finally placed gown order!
order BM gown: CHECK!
i'm annoyed that the design i originally picked did not have the color that i want... and i'm more annoyed at the sales lady for insisting that the other brighter color is better than the one i want! if it weren't for the price, i would go to a different store! so anyway, this is what i ended up ordering. it's similar in style to the original pick but it is more sexier/tight. i have a few full women in the group and hopefully they won't kill me for picking this gown. if anything, there's always the trusty bolero or shawl for cover up. |

 Shake weight. |
Wedding Exercise
don't laugh!
uhm. i just bought...
Shake weight!!! i *SERIOUSLY* thought this thing is motorized! i was looking for the place to put batteries on! but since i didn't find it, i had to read the manual. haha. so it's all MY movement. so. uhm. it looks WEIRD when i used it. FI couldn't stop laughing when he saw me using it... advice to others: use it when your ALONE. DO NOT believe the manual when it says you could use it elsewhere, even at the office!!! |

4 months to go!
OMG. I am freaking out!
It's 4months!!!! And I am in panic-mode. Still left to do: -invitations are still being drafted and once finalized only takes a few weeks to do -book hotel block for OOT guests -book hotel for me & entourage for night before -book place for rehearsal dinner -get measurements of OOT BMs so i could place an order -gown fitting -tone my armsssss sigh. i've reached my ideal weight already and all i need to do is maintain it (which is harder to do!!) but in all honesty - i'm freaking out because i'm still not happy with my arms! i want those killer arms for my wedding!!!! |
