Long overdue Thank You part 2!

It's the last day of the year and I realized I've been procastinating blogging enough I must get on with it and truth be told I've been feeling bad I haven't completed the Thank You's and we've just gotten to our 2 month as a married couple mark. I thought it was high time I start writing the second part of my list of people to thank. See, I have been racking my brain trying to figure out who to thank first and stuff like that. But then I figured, it's not in the order but it's in the content. That means this post is bound to be a long one. LOL! Be warned!

Most people would think that since I have experience in planning events it would be easy-peasy planning my wedding. Boy did they get THAT wrong. See, as I mentioned in my vows, which I totally should write about in another post, I'm not the typical girl. I didn't really know what I wanted, I was fickle. We had a color theme and half way through the planning we, by that I mean me, decided to change it. It wasn't right. And I'm glad I did! :D That meant everything that already got made had to be redone. All the planning and designing and pegs hunting had to be redone. It was chaos...in my panic riddled brain at least.

So let me introduce to everyone my best friend Val, or as she prefers to be called Master. :D I had to italicise the best friend because she thinks I'm kidding most of the time. LOL! But seriously though, Val and I have been friends since high school. She's my go to person for all things design. "Best friend are you busy? I need kasi..." hahaha...most often texted line between us. Whoops, I'm sounding soooooo abusive. But I'm nooooot. I promise!!! :P So obviously Val did all the designing for the wedding. From Save the Dates, to Invites, I made her do 2, to missalette covers. And I think because we've grown up together she knew just exactly what I wanted. The best part...she actually drew/designed us...don't understand what I mean...let me show you.

I was super aliw with it and everyone kept commenting on Mig's hair. Yes, he really has curly hair. :D So super kaduper thanks Best Friend! You are awesome!!! 

The thing that caused me the most panic was finding someone to take care of the styling of the venue. I was in so much panic. The venue had so many restrictions and there was so many other things that needed to be considered, primarily the budget. LOL! So there I was literally a week before the wedding talking to a bazillion people trying to figure out what to do...and then literally like mana from heaven my aunt tells me she found all these things that I could use. That was already on top of all the other things she previously got for us. So you can imagine how much of a load off that was. All the little things you saw at the wedding she had a hand in. From the words of love and encouragement spread all over the tables to the little balls of light to the spray painted (by hand might I add) butterflies and fireflies, everything came from her. I was beyond ecstatic. So thank you Auntie Stella for picking up all the little things that made our reception look perfect. :D 

see the famous cake topper, one of her first buys. :D Isn't it perfect?!?

And everything put together was just perfect. :D

Add to that the fact that she hosted 2 Bridal Showers for me. Am I not the luckiest?!!? :D It was so much fun being a bride I kind of miss it but I'm happier now because I don't have to stress so much. So super kaduper thank you Auntie Stell. You are the awesomest!!! 

And then there's Barbs. Who amongst all the stress I would call and she would repeatedly tell me to relax. Things will work out and we have tons of time. I was so stressed about everything it wasn't even funny. The only thing I wasn't stressed about was the amount of drinks we had. Miggy's number one priority when planning the wedding, make sure there are drinks enough to get everyone drunk. It was epic. Everyone was plastered including me. :D By the last week before the wedding I was literally just calling her to make sure I didn't forget anything. On the day of the wedding I didn't stress about anything. I gave everything to her and she took care of the rest. I literally left her with all the things she had to hang on to our bag of angpao's because as previously stated I was too drunk. LOL! I love you Barbs and my best girl Bea! hahaha

Chiqui (my drinking mentor) and Barbs! :D

There was so much alcohol at the wedding my bouquet is still with Barbs. LOL! :D

And then there's Ed, who literally came in to save the day. I don't even remember how it came up but one day we were talking and the next thing I know he said he would take care of styling the venue for me. He talked to the florist and got all the elements and put them all together. As you can tell, I was in love with everything. So thank you Ed! You are a life saver.

Finally, I think it must be mentioned that our flowers were more than I had dreamed of. From my bridal bouquet to the flowers by the table. Everything was beyond what I was expecting. I am blessed to have family who love me and make sure that my dream wedding would come true. So thank you Auntie Lilian for making sure the flowers were just perfect. They tied everything together. They were so amazing Miggy made everyone take home as much as they could. Even the fratmen. LOL. I don't think I should have shared that. Haha...

This year we have been blessed with so much and I'm sure next year will be even better. So yay for all of us! :D It's been crazy but I'm sure it's going to get even better!
