that's right. we have exactly a hundred days before the wedding. we're down to the final stretch of this crazy period called wedding preps.
the big ticket items have been booked. the major decisions have been made. the little boxes on the side of my to-do list have been checked, except for a few:
- secure marriage license. no worries about this, though. the supporting documents are ready and all we need to do is hand them over to tita raquel to be filed.
- get moks's passport. just in case God gives us an out-of-the-country honeymoon.
- finalize and print invitations. this has been sitting for weeks, and our ninang's list still contains entries like "Mrs. (Nanay's friend, Ka Puyeng)". promise, i will finish this next week.
- Pastor Dong's ordination. he promised this would be done this month.
- pre-nup photo shoot. next week, if weather permits.
- prepare program for the ceremony and reception. how do we make the ceremony short and concise, and still meaningful? how do we make the program fun? how do we get our guests to participate?
- souvenirs. to give or not to give, that is the question. i would love to D-I-Y this, but i don't know if my schedule would permit. besides, moks and i can't agree on what to give away.
- gifts for principal sponsors. what would be a nice enough token to say thank you without exceeding our budget?
- something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. hmmm...
this would have been the really really fun part in wedding preparations if only i had time to attend to them. what's the next major milestone after "100 days to go" anyway? i hope by that time i would have no more unchecked boxes on my list except "be at the wedding and smile".
(you should have surmised by now that moks takes care of the serious marriage stuff, while i mind the wedding details. so don't expect any substantial wedding posts from me.
