Which venue?

Will pay the downpayment for our photographer tomorrow!

I'm so happy! I don't know why!! Hahaha.. :) Finally! I can say that we've booked it already!! Yehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Now that I've booked my Church and my photographer(tomorrow) - it's time to decide on the venue..

We're looking at 2 place:
1 is Edsa Shangri-La
2nd is Sofitel Philippine Plaza

Fiance, Fiance's brother, Fiance's sister and future MIL are keen on Sofitel because it's something different.

Future FIL and Fiance's SIL would like to have it in Edsa Shangri-La simply because its been tried and tested already.

I on the otherhand - well, I honestly preferred Edsa Shang before - but then considered Sofitel because of the location AND because Fiance built it up so well. Hahahaha!!

Now that I've psyched myself up to having the reception at Sofitel - it seems like future MIL might change her mind pick Edsa Shang! Hahaha.. choices, choices!!

I've told Fiance - if he likes Sofitel - he should push it himself, because for me - any of the 2 venues are GREAT for me. Any of the two venues will be alright for me. It's more that what I thought I'd like (to be honest)

Seems like a seamless planning is ahead!! :) Hahaha...

On-Site or Not..

I've declared to Fiance long before he proposed that I would love to have an on-site avp. And just the other day - when we met with our photographer PD - I was convinced to get his stills AVP on-site.

Last night, I was looking at the most popular videographer - and I think I may have to eat what I said - that 1) I will not get a an on-site video and 2) that I won't get Jason Magbanua.

Argh! I love his work! Sooooooooooo much!!

I'm still contemplating....

Help?

Overwhelming..

I've been sleeping at 2am for the past 2 nights. Mainly because I was busy making an excel file to 'present' to future FIL. You see, he wants me and Fiance to 'present' to him costings of an Event Hall receptions versus a Hotel reception.

Yesterday, I was chatting with Fiance, asking for help and support. Instead of telling me to wait for him so we can compute together - he said that I can do it alone. Dammit! I was irritated! I was the one who was calling all the hotels and venues, caterers and etc. - now, what does he do? He prints all the proposals. That's it! Argh...

There were moments yesterday that I wanted to quit what I was doing and leave it all to him. But the OC-ness in my always sets in. I give in to the urge and do it again. Who wins? Fiance wins. Darnit! I hate it! Its in my blood and personality. Damn you blood and personality!!

So today - we are scheduled to meet. I haven't told him that I already finished ALL the computations. I will have him swim in oil first - and then come 'presenting' time I will take the honor of doing everything.

Fiance is lucky that way. I just hope he sees it.

Oh! And when I told him I made an excel file and that he should suck up to me since I did it ALL MYSELF - whoa?! He retorted that I stop that 'suck-up crap''

Tangina ah!! (Konti nalang... Hahahahahahaha!!) Sorry for the language!!

Scouting for venues and caterers..

The search is now ON!

Finally got to talk to future FIL last night.

He wanted these 2 Chinese restaurants, but Fiance disagreed! Hahaha..

He wants us to compute and 'present' to him our findings: whether its cheaper to get a venue + caterer or a hotel (which has a package altogether).

Hmmmmm....

I'm now looking into designers also.

I'm shocked at the prices! 6 effing figures!! YIKES!!

XOXO
