today is the day Rej and i get hitched!

Share

we have reached the two week mark before the wedding.

some people are surprised at how calm we are, most couples are usually in a stressful panic by now.  Our suppliers marvel at the fact that we can still find time to watch Improv comedy shows instead of worrying about wedding details.

this calmness we attribute to our good friends who are helping with the wedding and our family who are not stressing us (too much)

in one week some of our Principal Sponsors will be arriving from the US. also, Rej’s mom will be going on leave from work to help her out with stuff. i’ll be taking a leave from work too a few days before the wedding.

Honestly, i cant wait for our Star Wars Wedding.

actually, i really cant wait for the Marriage that comes after.

well, at least the priorities are done. we’ve given downpayments for the venue, caterer, ceremony and reception flowers, photographer and videographer.
just today we signed the contract with the Manila String Machine.

the funny thing is that we never tell any of them about the theme of the wedding when we initially meet. we only inform them about what we have planned right after we sign the contract and give them the check. fortunately, none of them reacted violently when we tell them what we have planned. they all seem to get really excited when they find out it will be a Star Wars wedding.

they can’t wait to be a part of it because it is something different from what they usually have to do, which can get tiring after a while.

the best part is that they can play the Imperial March!

5 months to go and we are ahead of schedule.
