| Wedding Preps Updates |
| Saturday, June 16, 2007 |
189 days until our wedding day.
This is what our wedding announcer says.
Time really flies so fast. It was as if it was just yesterday when I started looking for our church and reception venue. HayYyYYy :)
Being into a long-distance relationship is ain't no joke. You will be tested by time and temptation. Sometimes, family and career can get into the way, that will somehow create a huge impact on how a couple will survive with this ordeal. Whenever I tell people ask me how Russell and I met, surprise will register into faces as I bubbly say that I met him online. In the course of our 5-year long-distance-relationship, we managed to be tough.Tougher than anybody could imagine. I have demanded a break-up more than 100 times (usually when we fight), Russell had shed a river of tears just to say how sorry he is for what happened (even though I was the one to be blame- he's doing it just to appease me. ain't I a real bitch? LOL)
Because we are 500, 00 miles apart, I have to do the preparations- all by myself! Working in a graveyard shift has never been an issue to me. Matibay ako sa puyatan eh. I have to be the one to contact and meet the supplier to ensure that we will get the most out of our money. We are in a tight budget. We can't afford to spend a million just for a wedding. We are not that insane yet. LOL. Anyhoo, I feel like our wedding preparation was put into a halt. Though I can finish the task alone, I guess I am just waiting for Russell to come home so that he, too, will take his part on our wedding. Providing me the moolah to pay our suppliers is not enough (hey, we are splitting the budget 50-50 so I need to do his part on this tedious preparation!). Here are our wedding updates:

- Save-the-Date Card
- Prenuptial Shoot
- Floor Lay-out Plan
- Final Meeting with the Suppliers
Russell and I had this agreement that when he gets here, he will not work (though he could still manage one of their two gas stations in Cavite). I need him to rest and I want undivided attention since we need a lot of catching up for the lost times... (hehehehehehe...naughty me!) But hey?! After seeing the to-do-list, it seems to me that he ain't gonna be that idle after all. Oh well, though I feel sorry for him, I still think that I deserve to take some beauty rest 90 days before our wedding. This is just to reciprocate the headaches and zits that I got during the last 18 months that I've been preparing for this wedding. I'm gonna leave to him the dirty work of making kulit to our suppliers... Serves him right, eh? (,")
I just hope that our wedding will turn out just right. Though I don't believe that there is such a perfect wedding, I am praying so hard that we will have just the minor glitches. Otherwise, those pasaway na suppliers would not want to see me flaring up.... LOL
