Fiance and I booked the Church last Saturday! (SSA it is!!)
Yipee!!
But as we were walking away from the Parish office - I felt scared, I mean - giving the reservation fee meant that - this is serious - we're really pushing through with our plans!
Yikes! I'm honestly 85% Scared and 15% Excited!
Next step would be booking the venue, photographer, and florist! After that I have to decide on who's going to make my dress! Yikes!!
One down, many more to go!!
XOXO

So....
Cold Cold MIL.
I have this friend J who was visiting from abroad. It so happened that I brought her to Fiance's house. I think it was proper of me to introduce J to my future in laws (at that time they were still BF's parents) as I found them seated on the sofa of one of the rooms of the house - I went to them to give them a respectful kiss on the cheek. As I leaned forward - they did not even lean towards me (so that I won't need to lean all the way) I was the one who noticed it - but then brushed it off. When J saw it - she found it kind of off. She then told me while we were in the car (Fiance was not there yet) I remember what she told me she said '(My name), when you get married - can you not live with your in-laws?' I asked why - then she told me that she found it odd that the parents did not lean forward when I kissed them. Okay - so it wasn't just me that noticed! Hahaha..
So last night - at dinner time there were weird moments:
1) When we were discussing the date and time of wedding, she told us NOT to follow the time anymore! I told her that the friend who helped us get a date told us that why did he even bother to get us a date when we won't follow it anyways.
2) I have been trying NOT to eat pork and beef for the past months - she gave me a hard time when she learned I did not eat rice. So now - when she learned that I was abstaining from pork and beef she uttered 'Eh last year ka pa nagdadiet eh!' with her knowing look (that was like saying - eh hindi ka naman pumapayat!)
3) During bye bye time - when I leaned over to kiss her - she did not budge. Her facial expression was blank and seemed (to me) like she was unhappy (it might be that I am just paranoid. To be perfectly honest, future MIL is not one of those happy faces you see- she won't smile at you immediately - but would wonder first - unlike me! As I smile to everyone who catches my eye.)
Now, my friend K has reminded me countless of times that I am NOT marrying future MIL but Fiance. I should always keep that in mind. But I get affected with these things, I mean I value family - and if one does not like me - well, I'm going to have a hard time becoming comfortable.
Acceptance - I need to feel that from her. I am actually hungry for it. And I don't know why?!
XOXO

MIGHT have the date already..
Do I have a wedding date? Well, in theory - I do have a date, but there some complications.
Complication #1 - The time of the wedding. The Feng Shui master said that we should be married by 11:00 am!
Complication #2 - The wedding day - Sunday. Where in Manila will I find a Church that has a 10:00 am schedule for a wedding?
For starters - Fiance and I are leaning towards a Saturday wedding - why? Well, for the following reasons:
Reason #1 - We would like to have a rest day that is still a weekend! (Although we know that we get the week off work - because we just got married)
Reason #2 - We would like to have our friends over after the reception - so they can have an official rest day. (like us!)
Reason #3 - So we can stay up till the wee hours of the night!!
Reason #4 - So we won't have to stress on having guests leave early because of work the next day.
So ask me again - do I have a wedding date? Well, yes - BUT there are some ironing out to do.. Hahaha!!
But seriously - the reason behind this stress? Well, Fiance did not want to pay for a 'consultation'. What the cons of having had someone from China (really) to give us our date - well, we can't ask for changes anymore. At least when the Feng Shui master in in Manila - we can easily ask him/her for changes - right? Tsk.. Tsk..
Makes me think - will I be shortchanged? I mean like future SIL?? Yikes!!
XOXO
