Confirmation

Where: San Roque Cathedral (Caloocan)
When: July 25, 2009

I just had my confirmation last Sat at the San Roque Cathedral (Caloocan). Good thing I did my research and discovered several churches where you can have your confirmation even if it is not the town's fiesta. The seminar, confession and the sacrament of confirmation are done in one day. To do those who are planning to get married and needs to be confirmed, you can choose from the following:

1. San Miguel Church (near Malacañang)
Pros: You can get your certificate on the same day of your confirmation
Cons: The fee is Php 600
Note: Please call the office for the schedule (if I remember correctly, it's every Thurs, Sat and Sun).

2. Quiapo Church
Pros: Cheaper than San Miguel Church, the fee is only Php 200 plus Php 50 for the certificate
Cons: You need to register in person before the confirmation day. Your principal sponsor should be 10yrs older than you and needs to be confirmed already
Note: The schedule for confirmation is every Sunday and you get the certificate after a week.

3. San Roque Church
Pros: They only ask for a xerox of your birth certificate. The fee is also cheaper compared to San Miguel Church (Php 300) and its nearer from our place. Since you get the certificate after a week, they can provide a temporary certificate for you.
Cons: None Ü
Note: The schedule for confirmation is every 4th saturday of the month. You also need to register and pay the fee before the confirmation day.

Jacinto-Quiros Lunch

Where: Dampa, MOA

Tim and I opted not to have the traditional pamamanhikan for our families. The reasons - I live in Malabon and it's the rainy season -- I don't want my future in-laws to see Malabon underwater.Ü Second, the wedding planning is almost complete, so we just wanted a casual meeting for our families. We chose Dampa, Macapagal for the venue of our lunch.

Wedding Updates

According to our wedsite, only 131 days before our wedding... I know it's been a while since my last post because we experienced some "dull" moments during our wedding preps but don't worry.. we're back on track.Ü  Here are some updates:

1. Update on our photo/video package (yipee yipee! this is actually tim's wedding gift for me)
2. Got my requested photographer and even videographer from Niceprint (love our AE June from Niceprint)
3. Change on our flower supplier (super sorry bianx)
4. Met with Agrin and gave her pics of the gowns. Hopefully this week, I'll have the sketches already
5. Met with Anthony (our AE from Tamayo's) and was able to haggle the meal rates for our suppliers

List of what we'll be doing in the next weeks:

1. Look for possible locations for our pre-nup with Niceprint
2. Look for possible locations for our pre-nup with Parkershot (yup, you read it right.. we have two pre-nup sessions Ü)
3. Schedule my confirmation at the San Miguel Church in Manila
4. Request for birth cert and CENOMAR for our Marriage License
5. Schedule our canonical interview at Malate Church
6. Visit our principal sponsors and distribute our Save-The-Date magnets
7. Visit WINK for the initial draft of our invites
8. Start with my DIY
9. Look for another hotel for our preps since I discovered on w@w that there's another 11/21 bride who already booked our "hotel" (Need to get in touch with Marlon regarding Hyatt)

Mind you, I have a loooooong list of what we need to accomplish before the BIG DAY.  Good thing, Tim is not the panicking type and he keeps me "calm" through out this wedding preps.Ü

Although Tim and I are excited about our wedding, we just want to get it over and done with. Don't get us wrong, we're just excited and looking forward to the after wedding (hmmm.. not the honeymoon Ü) -- but the actual married life.Ü
