the Men & Boy's Attire..

i am pakialamera..and i make pakialam even more if it's concerning me..and much more pakialam if its gonna be my wedding..of course no..im gonna do this just once..there will be no repeats.. :P

the norm is boys will be wearing barong..aydonutlayk..i wanted a vintage look but not too formal..parang nasa kanto lang..kidding! i wanted people to freely move and not be too stiff..i wanted them to have a good time..and wear something that they can still use after the wedding..but above all the reasons i said..i wanted everything to look good in the picture..ahehehehe..

so i searched and searched and decided to have the boys & men wear white long sleeves with tie and a sweater vest and khaki pants...i think i convinced everybody already..here's the look..

ang cuuteeeee nila!!!

odivaaaah..

see the look..pang porma pa after..

it's the 2 fathers who will be in barong :) it's ok they are vintage anyway..

no other than Juan Carlos Segovia..

meet my little boss... who visits the office once in a while not to work of course but to see his dad and play online games. he will go directly to my place and play his favorite - electric man (an online game at Y8) - he laughs and giggle while watching all his enemies lose in the battle hahahaha. he usually lets me read the mechanics or rules on whatever game he wants to play. i transformed into a 5 year old boy when he sits on my chair and he loves eating whatever i have in my cabinet, be it skyflakes or mr. chips, im flattered of course.. :)

the Venue Visit Part 2

commercial muna tayo..

last November 22, 2009..3 months  before the big day and our 1st year anniversary..we went to check the venue again..the last time we visited it..we didn't brought a measuring device (i don't know the exact term, basta yung square ang lalagyan at automatic pumapasok sa loob ang tape) so we can measure the length of the bridge and the aisle..then there was rain..so i was not able to see where the sun will be at 4 pm..so off we went after service..armed with the measuring tape, notepad, pen and camera..

approaching the gazebo..you can see it's caliente..uhh huh..

closer pa and youll see mainit talaga..

the bridge..prettyness na ang mga paso..may flowers na

its pretty pag may araw..the last time it looks gloomy

sooooo hoooooot! bow!

mainit din ba ulo nya? simang eh..

the small fountain near the gazebo was open..:)

the big one too!

nag enjoy ako kakapanood ng fountain..

and glad that it's gonna be open too on our big day :)

FYI: the boys researched the measuring device and its called "steel measuring tape" :)

the Best Man

its Jose Roline Canonicato

Cokie for short..obviously he is chosen by default..hehehe..he is beng's boyfriend..but ryan's buddy na rin..he can dance, sing, emote and crack a joke that he can only understand..wehehehe..and he got this unbearable "ahehehe" in every end of his sentence..peace! if you want to hear the actual sound..just ask ryan..

cokie is a cokie..a tough lovable bloke around the block..:)

tindig pa lang..ulam na..ahehehe

the hilik double up

the Keepers

if your going to be doing everything yourself..prepare for the clutters and mess..and it's a good practice if your being OC..don't throw those microwaveable containers in your kitchen because it's a big help..look at them :)

they store all anek anek that i need

its easy to find things if you need them

plus point is that they are nice to look at and your not going to do some ukay ukay

i have to give credit where credit is due...

Ryan Joy took all the photo of the wedding projects and this one..he is getting good..some are not yet posted and its pretty..:)
