on weddings

-wedding expenses-

Why is it so expensive to get married today?! Some people say it depends on how you want the wedding to be…how many guests…whose services are you getting whether they are well known in the industry or they’re just starting…and so many other things. We’ve originally set up a budget that we thought is reasonable enough for 200 guests at a garden reception. Don’t get married if you’re not ready financially? Duh! I don’t think the budget set is small. With the economy today and the value of money, it’s very hard to determine when you will be ready. And I guess most people will agree with me that it’s more than just a wedding. We are going to start a family and the preparation is not just emotionally and physically but financially too. Sometimes I tell myself it maybe because I want too many things for my wedding?! Doesn’t anybody want what’s best for this one-time occasion! Well…well…well! Solution? Mmm…At least always scout for reasonably priced with quality services suppliers.

-mothers-

Irvin’s mom wants to wear a ‘terno’ for the wedding. But my mama doesn’t want it. I told this to Veluz and she asked me to encourage my mother. She was just saying it’s better if both of them will wear a ‘terno’. The thing is, my mama thinks she’ll look really old in that design. She even said she’ll look ‘BIG’. As in literally big!

Veluz said chiffon fabric will look nice for ‘terno’. She also mentioned that canary yellow can be used if the moms don’t want the kind of green that she originally suggested. My mama doesn’t also want yellow. Waah! I don’t anymore know what to do. I was telling Irvin I didn’t really anticipate before how hard it is to handle these things. I thought it’s just simple. Designs have already been provided in the first place. Veluz has already suggested fabric type to be used. Whew!
