The Wedding

Best wishes...

2009-09-30T20:44:00.000-07:00

I am so excited that the couple in our peer is getting married this year. I am really so happy about it. Well, they have been together for many years and have been to long distance relationship and now, the long wait is over. They'll begin a new life as one soon.

I'm so excited about the details of their wedding. I am so happy that I'm one of the few people to know first about the good news. I was shocked at first because I never expected that they finally came up with the decision to tie the knot.

They are really a cute couple. I would say one of the perfect match I have ever seen. They are so good to look at being together. I am not saying this because their my friends, just stating reality :). And anyone who knew them would surely tell the same thing. As of this moment, I'm excited about their cute angel that will surely be in this world soon.

I would post one of their pics here soon. As of now, I would keep it private and prefer not to name them because I would like them to give the privileged to announce the good news to our other circle of friends. Surely, i will be there on their wedding day, I'll be taking photos to share it to everyone. This will surely give us another inspiration about wedding gowns, motives, venues and preparations. This will be a wedding I would love to blog. I would love to make daily updates about their upcoming wedding as soon as it is known by other people concerned and the date is announced.

I know a happy family awaits this couple. They deserve to be happy in life because they are very good friends of mine. Wish you all the best in this world guys. I am so thankful having you as my friends. Thanks to the one who paved way for us to know each other.

Even if we haven't seen each other a long time, you will always be loved by me. Hope to see you soon and hopefully spend time with you and our other friends. All the best and more blessings to come...

Bridal Bouquet

2009-09-27T19:00:00.000-07:00

Simplicity..Elegance...Beauty..Name it and it's all in calla lily. I love this flower so much and I really love to see it at weddings especially if it is the one being used for the bridal bouquet.

Well, this is is really a very nice flower although it's not really a lily. Surely, I would choose one in my wedding day. It is simply the best. I've seen many bridal bouquets before made from different expensive flowers but for me, nothing beats calla lily.

Wedding Gowns

2009-09-24T05:21:00.000-07:00

Right from the very start of the wedding preparation, I'm sure all bride to be's are excited about their wedding gowns, about how will it look like, the design and accessory and other related detail. I just wanna share these three gowns I love to stare at. I even saved a copy in my phone and make it as my wallpaper. This are really nice gowns for all bride to be's. I'm sure you would love these gowns too guys. They are perfect! If I would get married, I would choose one design from these gowns. For all bride to be's out there, take a look at these wonderful wedding gowns.
This is my top pick. I simply love the design. It is a perfect wedding dress. It is a simple tube gown but looks so elegant with the lace belt. Don't you think this is perfect? (PHOTO CREDITS)This is my second pick guys. It is another gown with a lace belt. I like this one because of its simplicity. It's kinda revealing but it can be modified anyways. The lace belt can be changed depending on the wedding motif. (PHOTO CREDITS)My last pick is this gown. It is a classic lace gown but I think it looks awesome. (PHOTO CREDITS)

Church Wedding Requirements

2009-09-24T04:55:00.000-07:00

I am aware that requirements are needed in a typical church wedding. But even if I am aware of that, I do not know what really those requirements are. So, I made a research regarding these church wedding requirements. Good thing, in just a click I've found a good site to answer my questions. My browser directed me at WeddingsatWork

Below is the list of the requirements I have found out. Many of those requirements are unfamiliar to me. And it is indeed a lot of requirements which only implies that a church wedding needs a long time preparation because from the requirements alone, you will consume a lot of time. As I've said the requirements are the following:

1. Baptismal and Confirmation Certificates: These relates to both the bride's and the groom's. These must be new copies and must have an annotation: "FOR MARRIAGE PURPOSES ONLY" and must have been secured not more than three (3) months before the date of marriage.

FOR MIXED MARRIAGE (different religions or Disparitas Cultas): a dispensation must be secured from the Archdiocesan Chancery Office at the Arzobispado de Manila, 121 Arzobispo St., Intramuros, Manila (near Manila Cathedral). The forms will be provided at the Parish Office which will be released after the canonical interview with the Parish Priest or his assistant. These have to be submitted one week before the wedding.

2. Marriage License: This can be secured from the city or municipality hall where either the bride or the groom currently resides.
For those who are civilly married, a certified true photocopy of the Marriage Contract with the registry number of the city or town where the marriage was performed must be submitted one week before the wedding date.

3. Canonical Interview: This interview with the bride and the groom will be done one month before the wedding date and will be conducted by the parish priest or his assistant. The schedule of the interview will be given upon the signing of the application form. Failure to report on the interview date or failure to notify the office of any change in the schedule will mean cancellation of the application and reservation of the church for the upcoming wedding.

4. Pre-Marriage Seminar: Both the bride and the groom have to attend this. The schedule for the seminar will be given during the canonical interview or you may inquire at the parish office. Some churches may allow attendance in other pre-wedding seminars such as the Catholic Engaged Encounter (CEE) or Discovery Weekend (DW) as a suitable substitute (if you have already attended either one of these, inquire at the parish office if they recognize either CEE or DW in lieu of their Pre-Marriage Seminar.)

5. Permission from bride's parish: a permit from the parish of the bride-to-be must be secured and presented to the parish office of the couple's chosen ceremony venue. The form will be provided by the parish office of your chosen church.

6. Marriage Banns: These will be provided during the canonical interview and have to be immediately brought to the respective parishes of the bride and the groom for posting. These have to be returned to the office after three Sundays. (Note: the respective parishes may ask some requirements for the posting of the banns [i.e. a ID picture from the bride and the groom])

7. List of names and addresses of principal sponsors (Ninongs & Ninangs): This has to be submitted to the parish office one week before the wedding date. Church policy requires at least a pair of sponsors and, ideally, a maximum of six sponsors.

So, we've just seen that bride and groom to be's got a hectic schedule and busy life as they start the wedding preparation. It make take lots of effort but I am sure it's all worth it in the end. Agree?

Wedding Checklist

2009-09-24T01:23:00.000-07:00

A Wedding Checklist is an important tool in every wedding preparation. More or less, it is the key to have an organized and perfect wedding. Here's a sample checklist from frugalbride.com
In my own opinion, a wedding checklist is one of the first things a bride or couple should have. This will be the start of the complex planning and the long preparation of any wedding. Of course, the more detailed it is, the better I guess. So, to ensure who haven't overlooked one thing in your wedding, then get into the details by having a wedding checklist. It's so easy to make one. You can just copy the below sample and just modify it. For all couples out there, don't neglect the importance of a wedding checklist. It seems that it is a simple list but it can either make you wedding perfect or the opposite. (Those I colored pink are the ones I will have on my wedding checklist.)

The Wedding

2009-09-23T22:23:00.000-07:00

Every girl dreams to be married to someone she truly loves. And of course, all wants to have a very special wedding. As I was searching the internet, I came up with sites which can help bride to be's in their dream wedding. I know that wedding preparation is stressful. You will have to deal with a lot of people, fix and organize a lot of things. So, I guess a wedding coordinator would help a lot regarding this one.

So, after the proposal and saying the answer "YES", what's next? What should be planned first? Well, I guess, the couple must tell their relatives and friends about the good news. And so on and so forth.

I haven't been married but of course, I am planning to be soon. I decided to make up a blog to help bride to be's out there and at the same time, I will learn too from those things I will post in this blog. Well, I am planning to post resources here for brides and grooms which will help them find perfect wedding packages and will lead them into their dream wedding.

Why I chose this topic? It's simply because I am interested in it. Maybe, I'm one of the excited girls out there to be married soon. I know and I'm sure it feels so great to be married and have the wedding you dreamed of.

For those who have been married out there, you can leave a comment at this site as well as feel free to express your opinion regarding the wedding preparation and etc.
