Some things we didn’t expect to happen all in just one week (after we’ve had a long 3-month break from preps):
- We met our hair and makeup artist, Aaron of Makeup Studio Team, of all places, at a children’s birthday party. Cat and I dropped by Oasis and finally booked him today. He seems to have a magic touch that makes everything turn into fresh daisies.
- Finally, we found the perfect pink (satin) we were confusingly looking for everywhere. If not for my runny nose that day we would’ve braved Divi for its variety, but Fabric Warehouse at Megamall gave us what we exactly needed, quickly at that and at the right price.
- Consequently, being surrounded by hordes of rolled satin and tons of fabric can be a good thing. After months of dilly-dallying, we’ve set our final final colors along the process of choosing our fabrics.
- We can’t believe how easy we got the right fabrics for the entourage dresses. We’ve been worrying about it for months.
- We’re set on dressing up the female entourage soon. I didn’t know I can go as far as photoshop gowns as we wanted it, haha. It was fun anyway, and my fiancee is happy as a peacock.
- Principal Sponsors List is more or less final. I hope we’ll get the nod from all.
- And lastly, just today, thanks to Jason Magbanua and a string of unexpected events that weaved some magic dust, I’ll be getting a Cecilio Abad Suit for our big day. Now I think I know how crazy Cat felt then about her wedding dress. Many thanks for accommodating, Cecil!
I gotta hand it to serendipity. Then and till now, it never ceased to amaze us.

Ok, I hope I’m not too nosey. But It’s your fault, lol. Could you kindly elaborate on this series of magical events reagrding your suit choice?

Whoa. Talk about word getting around fast.
I’d have to admit it does sound alarming you’d be involved in a suit choice of some couple you haven’t met before in your life. But your suit looked excellent last night dude, turned me green with envy, hehe.
We were set to drop our fabric swatch at Cecilio’s office at 5pm yesterday. If not for the unexpected traffic going towards Mendiola and getting stuck for a bit at the St. Jude parking area, we wouldn’t have chanced upon the right moment you were fitting your Cecilio Abad suit. And that was all it took for me to realize Cecil can definitely make me a great one.
I think you saw me for a few seconds in the mirror if you remember, I was just at the door hehe.
Anyway, I called Cecil an hour after to ask him it it was really the great Jason Magbanua that I actually saw fitting in his office. He said yes, and like a fairy Godmother he offered to design my suit aside from what he already scheduled to make for us.
After needless months of worrying where to get my suit, it was handed to me in silver platter. And I got to meet you in person. Well, sort of.
Sorry for rambling, this has been a very strange but delightful experience. Thanks for dropping by our blog =)
