Hazel and Tec

For our souvenirs, we want something that will be useful to our guests and not just dust gatherers. We're thinking of doing it ourselves (DIY), but when I saw this idea from Jenee ni Richard, medyo nagbago isip ko. Papemelroti now offers giveaways for weddings, birthdays and other occasions. They offer 20% discount for orders more than 50pcs. They will print our names on the cover with the date and venue of the wedding.

Like Jenee, we liked the "Have a Wonderful Life" box. The DIY part is still there with the touch of paper ribbons. It's within our budget for souvenirs, less trabaho dahil ribbons lang ang idadagdag. Below is our prototype, what do you think?

We've found our photographer! :-)

Thanks to the w@wies' feedback, Tec and I have decided to book Paul Vincent as our professional photographer. We will request Eye (one of my sis' best buds) and Chee (Tec's co-worker) to serve as our back up photogs, sana available sila on our wedding day.

We met up with Paul two weeks back and he has this certain charisma that attracted us to him. Kaya on that same night, we have decided to book him. This morning we paid our reservation fee and scheduled our engagement pictorials for March 2006.

We have done it! We have reserved the date. Our wedding will be on June 25, 2006 at 4:00pm, at Patio Victoria in Intramuros. That's the venue out of the way, we just have to beat the price increase for next year and lock the price by paying 60% of the contract price by the last week of January, or earlier. Aba, 20k additional din un kung sakali. We talked to Tec's parents na, so right now we're just praying that they would be able to send the money soon.

Right now, we will first concentrate on this climb we are organizing and come January we will be able to book the photographers and other suppliers, inform our principal sponsors, and all the other stuff.

Hey, all!

I've decided to start a wedblog to chronicle our preparations for our wedding in June 2006. At this moment only family and a few select friends know.

Just some credits. I thank ate Sienna for creating this template. I'm so lucky to have found this on her Manilena site. :-) You see, my wedding will be a garden wedding with butterflies and my colors will be green and blue...
