So Touching…

Yesterday, dad wanted to eat out. So kuya treated us to Meylin’s Pot and Noodle House at SM Megamall. As the days pass by, I really try my best to spend some quality time with my family. We then strolled at the mall afterwards to see if Ogie can choose a suit that he’ll be using on my wedding. It turned out that we had a hard time looking for the perfect suit for him. Some of the suits were so pricey! I’m glad dad was there to give him tips on whether to buy or just have it customized. 

Mom just told me personally that the reason why dad wants to eat out was because family bonding like this would be rare once I get married. It would be a different life already. It’s not everyday that I would be able to see or be with them like I used to. He wanted to maximize the time left while I’m still with them. I’m really touched by it.. I know it’s not going to be easy at first but in time we’ll be adjusted to this new phase of our lives..

The Suit is Looking Good

Mom and I trooped to Cecil’s shop this last Monday, not only for my fitting, but also for her gown (which has a spectacularly beaded top). Mom’s a bit concerned with the tube going a bit too low on the cleavage hehe, but really, I don’t see anything wrong with it. Anyway…

While I’m not really nervous with what Cecil has in store for me (I gave him with totally free rein on the trim), thankfully my gut was in the right place since I got a nod from my mom after my fit =)

Being one of the ‘rare’ hands-on grooms (to quote Cynthia on her email), I think after all the hard work this year, I deserve at least something that would make me feel like a million bucks before I meet my bride on our day. And THAT might be perhaps the black suit Cecil especially made for me. It’s smooth, elegant, and uncluttered. Just the way I like it

Sorry I’m not going to indulge you YET on a photo, but here’s the gist: it’s basically a 3 button, single-breasted, ventless italian-inspired suit. And it fits me like a glove.

So what I have here is just the tip of the iceberg:

My black-buttoned shirt and flat front pants are already perfect by itself.

Hopefully, my vest and tie would come off as nicely.

Also, hun and I dropped by recently at Galleria to check on our rings and window shop for prenups stuff. We actually ended up finding and eventually getting the comfy leather shoes I’ve been dreaming of – shoes that I wouldn’t think of taking off on my wedding day. It’s that comfy (think sneaker-comfortable), but thankfully doesn’t burn a hole in my pocket. Portugese-made, oxford leather pointies, a little crumpled (tho not seen much in the pic) to give off some of my edginess.

Cecil thinks it goes extremely well with the suit. Icing on the cake.

Wedding Symptoms

It’s only a few months left before the wedding. I’m having different types of emotions lately.

I am excited because I get to marry the man that I truly love. No doubt about that hehe!

Sad in the sense that I would somehow miss my family when it’s my time to move out of the house. Mom and I were having small talks about this and I keep on telling her that I’ll try to visit as often as I can or keep in touch even through text. She’s so used of me being close to her most of the time. I always tell her that for sure I’ll be needing her help in terms of adjustment and doing household stuff.

Anxious because I don’t know what’s lies ahead. I’m just glad that I have hunny and my family to support me all the way. I know it’s going be hard at first but I have faith that everything would be all right! With prayers, I can do this!
