When we cancelled the booking with Club Ultima, the manager charged us with a non-refundable deposit of Php 20,000 (1,666 AED)..
When he learned about it, Russel was hysterical (haha) and he was so mad he was threatening me to speak with our coordinator on that very moment, on that state..
RUSSEL.FURIOUS...YOU.HAVE.NO.IDEA.
So I volunteered to speak with January, and to our delight, she managed to have it waived...
Without Russel's erupting anger - I would have said yes and paid that deposit.
Thanks Rockstar, you're a lot of help...sometimes...** big grin

Change of Venue
One of the major changes in the plan, the Reception Venue..
We have decided for Club Ultima because of:
1. Food - Glorious & Endless Food
2. Something Different - not the typical closed door party
3. Luxury - being the highest building in Cebu, we want our guests the chance to experience it! "the so costly building"; they say!
Debut's and I do's first wedding in the lovely venue, shattered my reception dreams.
I must admit it was very pretty.. BUT it was so SMALL, so TIGHT, so NOT WHAT I WANT!
I feel like I couldn't move, couldn't dance. It just can not hold a 150-wedding party.
It was a dilemma.
I don't want to give up Club Ultima, but I couldn't let go of my wonderful wedding imagination either~~ the kid's corner, the entrance dance, the candy bar and the till-morning-dancing.
I have to let go..
We picked alternative venues; coordinator worked immediately and luckily, we still have an open ballroom in Waterfront Hotel. This is my top choice (after Club Ultima) as this is closer to our church. It must have been our lucky day, or somehow, maybe, Waterfront is really meant for us~~

* Mediterrean Ballroom, Waterfront Hotel and Casino, Lahug Cebu City
Well. We still have a Rck n Roll Wedding. That's what matters ey!

I lost my glass slippers!
and cant stop sobbing (without tears, but heart is broken)..
I saw a very cute, elegant, all pink, Nine West Stilleto last week.
We came back to Outlet Mall today, only to find out that SHE is sold Out!
I almost collapsed!
Russ took me to the closest NW shop, but unfortunately SHE was a limited edition..
I just lost my glass slippers *sniff sniff

Ring O Finger!
Life is Sweet!
We bought our wedding rings last Friday. (9th-Sept)
Its a very simple 18-carat gold ring.
We are at tight budget stretch - so settled for a very "US" type, but promised each other that we will get new ones with diamonds and all after 2 years (that if we are still together haha)

(*a not so great shot* we are bringing these back to the jeweller this week for the engravement)
This and my Engagement ring, Im soo ready to wear these bad boys forever..
