The Banquet Hall

We are talking about FOOD here right?

So we were quite picky on this as our main concern is how to make our guests' tummies b l o a t! We aim to feed them in as much as we can, with of course, equally sumptous food. I checked all the menus from different hotels and even the best upgrade is still not enough. (or unless we are prepared to pay Php 3k/person - which we are not, so what are we talking about here). So when I saw Jan's package, with Fifty (Five ZERO) Menus, how can I not consider? This too caters from Italian (pasta & pizzas - yes) ; Japanese (r we talking about sushi?) ; Chinese (dimsum & siomai); Western (burgers & cold cuts ): and our very own Filipino Dishes (Lechon Kawali & Halo-Halo Station - oh no!).

So there. Crown Regency/Club Ultima it is.


Crown Regency Hotel & Towers, Fuente

Yes,you are right.This is the bldg with all those sky rides.Mmm..are u thinkin what im thinkin?

Ceasefire!

Yesterday, we are about to call the wedding off. Today, we just did an announcement in Cebu that we will be tying the knot come January, 2011.

Ironic isnt it? But thats just sooooo sooo us (ugh).. But im really getting used to it-in the true sense of the words! You know when we fight, all the F** and B** words come out naturally. Its like "i have regretted meeting you", then the day after - "i dont think i can live without you"! *collapse

I think it's very sweet and thats how and why we love each other very much.. haha..

Hold all Wedding Ideas...

Russ & Pam - - WAR Mode...

What's in a theme?

I repeat. What's in a theme?

Does it really have to be a themed wedding? I hope not because we just cant think of one.

We did consider an Italian-themed wedding, for obvious reasons that we are Italian-wanna-be's.
But there isnt just so much about an Italian-themed big day. Well for one, most of our guests woud surely not wear Tux and all; they are not so fond of almonds, pizza and pasta maybe - Yes, but apart from that.. its nothing.. Its Boring.. It will leave the guests puzzled how Italy relates to us..

Now (like how Chad yells the word), what's in a theme? Any suggestions?

The Ceremony Chapel

I only have 1 requirement. Ceremony Venue should be full, no vacant seats. No Gate Crashers. No Paparazzis. That Simple. Nothing more nothing less.

This is my idea of an intimate wedding ceremony, in an intimate super sacred venue witnessed by beautiful, important people. As you face the guests as husband and wife, you will smile to see familiar faces smiling back at you.. When you know within that they are not there for the food and favor; but they are there because they care.

The Archbishop Chapel is just where I want to say I DO.. (Phyns, I stole ur foto)

This has to be it.. Jan, by hook or by crook, you have to reserve this for us for the 8th...

Rain, rain where are you?

It is already 12:08 Am, Dubai time and im still waiting for you..
Let me hear the splat splat tick tock tick tick..

Mr Rain, visit us soon....

Our Wedding Coordinator

We have decided to get a wedding coordinator even before we have decided the big date. Yes because I dont want to bug my sister & my mom for any of the planning, or if there may be so, I'll make sure those will be for the littlest of things.. Its not their wedding, they deserve to be at peace u know..

Thru Mr Google, I was really amazed with the number of wedding coordinators in Cebu, that too with websites haha. Seriously, are there like so many couples getting married all year through that Events Specialist is one of the sought of profession in Cebu? Ohwell, I had so much fun checking each and every beautiful wedding websites and shortlisted my best 3. Sent them an email; told them what I want and got a qoute.. The typical IE-that-I-am, i made a comparative cost analysis chart to get the best deal. USC TC would have been proud.

I enjoyed the daily discussions with Russ with what each coordinator is offering, and so excited to have finally decided to hire Debuts & I Dos, http://www.mycebuboholweddings.com/ to take care of our big day. Besides January - the owner/coordinator, being my college friend, we found their work very pretty and I have this YEAH feeling that they'll be able to execute all the silly ideas we have for the wedding.

And today, we finally paid the downpayment.. YOHOO

I told Russ, this is it.. "Are we really getting married?"; he replied, "You can still back out you know..." haha
