Wedding Day Musician

During our three weeks stay in the Phils, we never thought that we need a musician since it is not really necessary but I want our wedding to be more intimate and romantic. And as a bride I want to have a grandiose or probably a dramatic entrance that will tug my heart. :) And for that three weeks I know that we can’t find one whom you’ll entrusted for our big day. I consider two things: EXPERTISE and BUDGET FRIENDLY. I’ve read that it is much better to hear them playing personally to make sure they are the one whose playing the sample music but it is no longer possible. . .

My spare time was spent through browsing the wedding directories and sends my queries to potential persons/group. Until I found Augustine Music and Sounds… their experience in Kuwait appeals me much maybe because were currently in the Middle East country and its plays a big part of my considerations I guess. I get a response faster than I expected from Tito Mar. We discussed the details thru email and phone calls. Rates are a bit higher since it is out of town wedding but its fits our budget. What I really like about them is they had all that I need from coordinators to singer/emcee. I’ve meet Tita Mel (coordinator) once for the details of the wedding.

I asked for TRIO (violin, bass, and piano),singer/emcee, and a day coordinator.. My guest was pleased because the program was coordinated properly, very professional, and nice persons I’ve met. I deeply appreciated these kind of people that treat you like your own family and who makes my day really special. You may contact Tito Mar/ Tita Mel at 9300621, ,09173520410, 09167978019 (mel.)

TWILIGHT GAGA

It's so funny that I have no idea what a TWILIGHT movie is all about. Curiosity.. because I've seen the premiere night in TV PATROL WORLD and I asked my cousin what is it? Tsktsk..what a busy life I've had in Bahrain that I am not familiar with this. I am not fond of reading thick books if not of my interests.Well, I just finished reading Stephenie Meyer's TWILIGHT VAMPIRE LOVE SAGA since I go GAGA when me and my husband watched it in ROB Metroeast. I'm thankful that his nephew already had these four books where he generously lent it to me. I'm also thankful that my husband put it on our luggage so that I could finish reading them when we get back here in Bahrain.

I love how Stephenie plays with my heart pounding imagination as I read each page, I can't help but to turn to another page. I like BREAKING DAWN the most. A happy ending that I expected to be which satisfies me because I don’t like tragic endings.

I should have been bought the Twilight’s movie soundtrack and books as weelwhen we were in the Phils. Because its nowhere to be found here. I want to buy via amazon.com but decided to wait till I get back to the Phils on March. hahaha

Bridesmaid No More

I can’t remember how many times I’ve been a bridesmaid or maid of honor to a friends and relatives. It’s exactly like Claudine Baretto’s movie “Got to believe” that she is waiting for God’s gift to be with for the rest of your life.

Well, well, well.. I am saying goodbye to this fantasy because I will finally tie knots to my long time Intramuros day’s boyfriend. And when you get excited you wouldn’t know where to start.

Here I am sharing my wedding planning itinerary.

Pamamanhikan- where my boyfriend’s family met my family to talk about the some details especially the date of the wedding.

Church( St. Joseph the Patriarch Parish Church, San Jose, batangas)- for registration, checks the availability of the said date, and wedding seminar as well.

Reception- Blueroze Farms. Venue needs for reservation as well since I don’t go for the Traditional Batangas Wedding wherein the reception took place at bride's residence and commonly celebrates for three days.

Photo and Videographer- Ariel Javelosa Photography

Florist & Make Up- While having our first seminar, the catechist itself is a florist as part of her sideline. There’s no need to find a make up artist since Tita Miles of Miles Salon will take care of my beauty on that day.

Wedding Gown- Mariventi

Wedding entourage gown- In Batangas, there are so called “1st rent use,” which means I’ll choose the design and fabric to be used but the price is cheaper since after the said event you have to gave it back.Thanks to Nanay Gloria of Glendale Collection in Ibaan, Batangas.

Souvenir- Papemelroti

Musician- Augustine Music and Sounds

Cakes and Invitations (Paperflair by Adworksgrfx) - c/o my beautiful Sister-in-laws Ate Ruby & Ne

Bridal Car- c/o Ate Ruby’s Pajero
