Wedding preps are on hold as of the moment. No fear... December 6 pa rin!

A birthday lunch, 2 bottles of beer and an announcement

He claimed to be not nervous but after eating for over an hour, I'm beginning to accept that he would not have the courage to "announce".

We celebrated my birthday yesterday at Gerry's Grill Trinoma. It's also there that we plan to tell my family our wedding on the 6th of December this year. Akala ko, we'll wait for another occasion to annouce it pero hayyyyyyy salamat... after one bottle of strong ice and one bottle of san mig light, finally Bert had the courage to tell my family...

Bert: Oo nga pala, invited kayo sa December 6 (ewwww what a pick up line! hahaha love u Bert!)
Mom: Saan sa birthday mo ba?
Cat: Ma hindi yun birthday ni Bert noh...
Bert: Basta invited kayo as the parents of the Bride
Mom: (smiling widely, with an expression of HUH?!?)
Cat (to Bert): (laughing shyly, parang kolehiyala...) Sabihin mo na kasi.
Bert: Ikakasal na kami sa December 6.
Mom: (smiling widely, blinking uncontrollably) Ah talaga?
Dad: (taranta) O ang tagal naman nun!
Cat: O sige sa March 6 na lang.
Dad: (nag-iisip, ina-absorb pa ata...) Akala ko di na kayo ikakasal!
Mom: (smiling widely, blinking uncontrollably)
Cat: Hahahahahaha!
Bert: (smiling)
Dad: (nakapag-isip na, pero alam mong natataranta) San ba kayo?
Cat: Sa San Mateo
Dad: Sa resort ba?
Bert: Pwede.
Dad: Sino caterer?
Cat: Di pa namin napaplano.
Mom: (smiling widely, blinking uncontrollably)
Dad: (tatango-tango)
Mom (to Tin, galing sa CR): Ikakasal na ate mo.
Tin: Ah tlaga? Kelan?
Mom: Sa Dec 6 daw.
Tin: Ahhhhh (tatango tango)
Cat: Lika na alis na tayo, ikot tayo mall.
Kami lahat: (smiling, ayaw pa umalis ng table)
Cat: Lika na...
Kami lahat: (smiling, ayaw pa umalis ng table)

Finally.... nagyayaan na rin... So there, it's official and sabi nga ni Bert for formality sake yun ginawa namin. Next stop... Bert's family.

Sarap to the bones

We visited one of our prospective reception venues. Nag-pencil book na kami, got their package costings, and saw their 2 choices for venues. Hmmm, mukhang na-impress c Bert sa set-up nila. So, let's see...

Also, we went to the Bridal fair in Megamall last Jan 26. So now, we have an additional prospect to our photo/video suppliers. What do you think of Redfox?
