It seems like every free day or hour we have is spent on the wedding. Or in the car, going somewhere wedding-related. Take Wednesday, for example.
We spent Tuesday night in Roseroland, then woke up bright and early on Wednesday to go to Parañaque City Hall. We applied for the marriage license, which only took an hour. The documents required were the CENOMARs (Certificates of No Previous Marriage, obtained from the NSO), our NSO-certified birth certificates, and Oneal’s barangay clearance, since he’s a resident of Parañaque.

Last night Oneal and I brought my Maid of Honor and one of our Secondary Sponsors to the dress shop, so they could get measured for their dresses. My Maid of Honor, Kat, saw the pictures of my dress, and she shrieked! She and her boyfriend, Sonny, seemed pretty excited about the whole thing. She was asking how she should do her hair, and what everyone else would wear.
Jovan, our Candle Sponsor, was able to discuss with our couturier, Jenny Rojales, her suggestions and concerns for her dress. Jovan and Kat also got the contact info of the dress shop, so in case they want to go there on their own, for fittings or whatever, they cal call for appointments.
Tita Jenny showed me the type of lace they found in Divisoria, which they can use for my dress. She says she’ll go to Divisoria this week to buy it. Oh wow, it’s starting! I’m so excited. Everytime I see the pictures of my dress, my heart does a little somersault.

our regular seamstress who makes and repairs most of our costumes from Jedi to Biker Scout has agreed to make the dresses and barong’s for the entire entourage!
Jennervita or Tita Jenny is a good friend of my mom and has been making her formal gowns for oath takings and other activities for years now, later we tapped her skills for making our costumes.
she’s known us for years and is now very familiar with the quality of costuming we require in the 501st. so she was our first choice to ask to do our wedding costumes, and she immediately agreed! she is very excited and already had lots of ideas on how to make the gowns look good, feel nice and not cost an arm and a leg.
fabric sampling will follow in April then initial measurements in June.
