Another bonus, Roj said YES....yipeeee... They will be our wedding photographers.

They are so good they are being nominated as one of the Top 10 W@W Suppliers for two straight years...

Yup, heard that right!!! They've been nominated last year and even make it to the TOP 5. This year they are also nominated and I just had this feeling that this will be their year. I'll never be surprised it they will be the 2008 W@W TOP Supplier.

I know you can make it...

The Grand Bridal Shower Party

The Grand Bridal Shower Party

November 9, 2008

PICC Manila

The Grand Bridal Shower was a success!!! Kudos to Loi and his team…You’re the best guys!!! The event was attended by a lot of soon-to-wed brides and their female entourage.

Loi’s description of the event:

A Grand Venue,Live Music, Light Effects and Event Styling Set-up, a big Ramp, Food, Drinks, Bridal Gowns and most of all Gorgeous Men - to add spice and excitement for the Bride to be’s.

All guests needs to vote for a "King of the Night" among the 12 boys. Every P100 that they donate at the Bantay Bata Booth during the event will entitle them to one play money cum raffle coupon which they would use to vote and would also give them a chance to win a 3days-2nights Honeymoon Suite Accommodation at the Boracay Grand Vista Resort & Spa.

Kasalan 2008

Kasalan 2008

October 24-25-26 2008

Mega Trade Hall 2, SM Megamall

This bridal fair is one of the most memorable that I’ve attended. It’s memorable because Roj was with me during this event. This was his first time to attend and believe it or not, he’s the one who checked the quality of the album that was included in the photographers photo packages. Our main goal is to choose a photographer and videographer. We didn’t booked a photo/videographer yet during that event. I was already eyeing for J***** and J***** as our photographer and C*** as our videographer. I have to exert a lot of effort to convince Roj in order to get them because they are high end suppliers. Their rate are higher than the budget that we allotted for the photo and video.

I just hope that a little charm and a little “lambing” would make Roj say “YES” to J*****&J***** tandem and C***. GoodLuck to me!!! hehehe

Wedding Expo 2008

Wedding Expo 2008

September 2008

PICC Complex Manila

This is one of the best Bridal Fair that I ever attended. Ever wonder why? Because aside from joining the biggest bridal fair in town, I had the chance to be with my high school barkadas. We had a great time during the event, especially the photo booth hopping. You can check some of our pictures here.

From this bridal fair, I found my cake maker – Gervy’s Amazing Cake. She quoted a reasonable price for a 4 layered all edible chocolate covered cake. We’re given samples and I must say that they are so yummy. Can’t wait to have a slice of our wedding cake already!!!

Weddings and Beyond "A Walk To Remember"

Weddings and Beyond "A Walk To Remember"

August 28-29-30, 2008

Hexagon Lounge RCBC Plaza, Ayala Avenue Makati City

We love to have a photo both for our wedding and as soon as I saw PartyPics Live, I knew I found the right supplier. The quality of the print is so A++++. Nadia pencil booked me right away and gave me a 30% discount on the top of the introductory price. I was so happy with the package and the rate that she offered. Nadia and Edge, I'll never forget this. You make us happy and our wallets happy as well. :-) That’s what you call an early wedding gift!!! When you’re planning a wedding every discount that you got is a saving already!

I also had my first Trial Make up here by Razel “Pong” Niu. You can check my picture here.

So there goes another “FIRST” in our wedding preps. Our “FIRST” pencil booked supplier and “MY FIRST” Trial Make up.

Wedding Congress

Wedding Congress

July 27, 2008

Mega Trade Hall 2 SM Megamall

Wedding Congress 2008 was the first bridal fair that I attended. I’m the one who’s in charge of going to events like this and I’m not complaining as I really enjoy every minute of our wedding preps. I usually attend bridal fairs with a friend because Roj’s work is based in Isabela.

I got my first W@W Wedding Primer here. This is a very helpful book as it contains a lot of details starting from the planning up to your honey moon. A MUST HAVE for a Bride to Be like me!!!!

I started looking for possible supplier for our wedding here. From this event I got the idea of renting a photo booth. A fun and unique concept that will surely make our guest happy during the reception.

W@W Tags

W@W Tags

June 2008

Got our W@W tags!!! We decided to get the tags in order to avail some discounts from our suppliers.

This will also serve as our souvenir for being a W@Wie Groom an Bride to be

W@Wie Couple

W@Wie Couple

As early as March 2008, we learned about W@W community through one of my barkada who’s also getting married, Nene. But we didn't join this group yet because we didn't thought of planning our wedding right away.

But on June 2008, when Roj and I agreed that we’re going to tied the knot on 2010, I finally tried to check this group. Tetay, (a former w@wie-she's now a n@wie) told me to join the group because I can get a lot of ideas here. So we took here advice and from then on W@W has been our companion when it comes to wedding preparation.

W@W is a perfect online venue to exchange ideas and experiences with other brides-to be and even grooms-to-be. We discovered 90% of our suppliers in this site. Wedding preparations has never been this easier and enjoyable! Thanks to Mam Benz and Sir John for creating the W@W group.
