Richard and I are getting married!!!!! After hiding the engagement ring in his suitcase for three whole months before proposing, we are finally tying the knot on Aug 31, 2013! I can still hardly believe it. We are definitely counting the days! (Yes, already!)
We have recently bought a house in Calgary and we are super
busy with unpacking and renovating, but at the same time we knew we had to get
the wedding planning underway (or else we will never get around to it….) So
that’s when we decided we needed a wedding planner to help us along the way.
Fritz Tolentino, our photographer recommended us to Monica,
and as luck would have it, we felt very comfortable with her after our initial
meeting. It helped that Monica knew
some of our cultural traditions and that she was so open to listening to
us. I still remember she was shocked
that I wasn’t one of the brides that brought a whole binder with tagged notes,
ideas and pictures of what I wanted in our wedding, but I have since gathered
some inspiration online! (I am starting to get organized….!)
Reluctantly, the day after our meeting with Monica, Richard
got dragged into coming to the bridal show with me. We were more than overwhelmed, there was so
much to see. (And in my head, I was
thinking – there’s so much to do!!!) From wedding attire, to flowers, to
venues, to photography, to decorations, it was everything wedding! Thank goodness, there were food samples for
Richard to try and a fashion show to watch! ; ) We honestly didn’t’ expect
there was so many aspects to wedding planning and was so glad and thankful that
Monica was on our side! We feel that
some of the stress has been lifted and we are starting to enjoy the whole
planning process (even though we are just beginning). It is fun and we only get to do it once!
