Our first wedding gift, from Mario and Tricia
It makes me so happy that our wedding has brought out the thoughtful and helpful streak in so many people. Many friends have volunteered their time and effort to help us with all the things we need to do, the stuff we need to plan, decide, book, canvass, design and even edit. It’s so touching, and the best part is that they really just want to help! Most of them say, “Just tell me what you need. And please don’t feel obliged to invite me to the wedding, just because I’m helping you, okay?”
I really wish we could invite everyone. But alas, budget and venue constraints! I don’t think Fernwood could hold all the masses we want to invite.
Speaking of thoughtful, it was so sweet of Oneal’s high school barkada, Mario, and his wife, Tricia, to give us our first wedding gift: the cord for the wedding ceremony! They had a cord made out of beautiful beads, and in the colors of our motif, and with our initials! It’s so beautiful, and they’re so thoughtful, and it makes me so happy that people are being so wonderful.
Thanks, Mario and Tricia, and thanks to all the nice, generous friends we have.
