CHOCFRAPPE’S PROGRESS REPORT AS JUNE ENDS...
We now officially love June.
With the formal booking of arguably the best Garden venue this side of Metro Manila over the past weekend, we’ve already accomplished something we’re undeniably proud of – that is, settling and securing the FOUR most important, and seemingly most non-negotiable items for our wedding. :D Favorite caterer? Check. Classy, private church with A/C? Check! Affordable but comprehensive photo and video services? Check!! Fernwood Gardens? Check!!! A few friends have said, now that we’ve booked ourselves these four essential wedding components, we can afford to relax, sit back to enjoy the flowers, pick up a hobby, and let things breathe for a while. We take comfort in the fact that we NOW have that luxury of taking much-needed time off from our series of event-hopping and tripping in preparation for the sweetest D-day yet. And to have completed the more critical first part of preparations 14 months before the wedding date, is just a superb accomplishment, don’t y’all think? We do need a pat on a back. (Or, more fittingly, a 120-peso drink from the nearest cafe).
Of course, we’re too excited now to simply sit down idly as the world passes by. We’ll be spending the next few months groping and grappling over many more ideas, considerations, gimmicks, and options for the remaining wedding items. We’re just having a sincere blast seeing our plans progress and ideas synthesize, and meeting friends, vendors and other people who will help us realize our dream setup.
Its an altogether heavenly high. A chocolate high.:)
Finally, we’re just happy that, despite the rough and tumble start to 2010 for us (months bleeding with workplace and interpersonal drama, and grown-up frustrations), our wedding plans have been able to repeatedly lift us out of our miseries in more ways than one. Every minute we shared – even under the sweltering heat of the summer months and under the cumbersome demands of overtime & household work – made us realize how lucky we truly are belonging in each others’ company, affection and passion. Every extra sip of coffee just sweeter, every extra car mileage more worth the extra half-peso, our darker shades of skin color worth the sweat and sun, our lighter wallets and bank accounts worth the plunge for (because face it, to celebrate in a special, singular, and custom-made fashion, your money will have to take a hit!)...
Just knowing that something as “perfecting” as our relationship can be bettered further by our tiring, but ultimately inspiring and rewarding plans, is as close as we can get to the feeling of b-l-i-s-s.
The next months will be amazing, no less.
But we love June, truly, madly, deeply.
