So yeah, we got crazy. I got married at 23 and Ace at 26. In some points of the universe, it was too early to marry at that age, but folks, in this side of the universe... And seriously, if I knew that what my life is now, would be the life I have to live with the Mister, if it was possible to marry him right after college graduation, I would have.
With this here, there and everywhere loveliness everyday, I have a shortlist of suppliers Manila based and Ilocos based which I think would have made working on our wedding easier and of course lovelier. That is, if our pockets could have had afforded them before.
1. Bridal gown - a Veluz or Lani Pineda of HIS if it really has to be Ilocos based, but then is she still here? Last I heard she is rocking Switzerland with her gowns.
The Ms. Veluz is such an amazing gown designer. Beyond words.
2. Bridesmaids gowns - an off the rack Vera Wang, yeah off tangent right there, neither Manila nor Ilocos based.

3. Groom's and groomsmen suit - a HIS barong or a suit.
4. Venue- Fort Ilocandia Resort Hotel (indoor) or Sitio Remedios (outdoor) or Playa Tropical (covered outdoor)

7. Videographer - Threelogy or Mayad would be really really divine.
8. Invites - Write Impression, Printsonalities, or a collaboration with Ms. Jules of Printnook
9. Calligrapher - of course, the Fozzybook
10. Event Stylist - even if it will drive everyone nuts, we shall have to do it ourselves
11. Cake - right! even if it will drive everyone nuts, to oblivion, we shall still do it ourselves
12. Music - 3rd Avenue or Audrey Adora of Synergy... I remember though we had Mark Taylan serenading us and our guests, with his violin, all throughout the reception. And Ace insists still that the Tennis Club choir sing at the church.
13. Emcee - it would still be my good friend Mavelle... who impromptu emceed our wedding... a short meeting in the morning, telling me the reception will start with the dinner. I was so adamant telling her if she did that, we'd have all our guests fleeing right after a filled tummy and with just a handful left for the program. But she told me to trust her. And yeah, we did it her way. The guests, stayed with us and I had to force them to go home after the program was over since we were so poor to pay for extra hour at the Sierra Madre Ballroom. Teehee!

14. Church - a small chapel like the one we have here in Vira (which I would insist on a make-over) or Sta. Monica Church in Sarrat.

15. Lighting - Music Match or Avalanche would do.
16. MUA - Mara Manuel
17. Coordination - Christine Ong Te Events (sigh!)

There goes my dream team. Don't get mad for I got lazy linking everybody to their sites. Google them please?
And let's not be overly sentimental on things like, well it went perfect, why wish for other things or so... believe me, and I am sure, that there are things we would have wanted done differently if the situation permits. The only non negotiable is the mister, it still has to be Ace who shall wait for me at the altar singing With You by Martin Nievera.
And now the time has come to say
How much I do
How much I love you;
Be beside you through and through
Let every moment
We share together
Be precious moments
That will last the end of time
So take my hands and walk
This road of ups and downs
And wear this ring and hear
My heart sing of love I've found
A million questions
We'll find the answers
I want to spend my life
Just holding you and loving you
With you
I touch the sky
You give me wings so I can fly,
I fly with you
You turn dark skies into blue
I know our love is true
My every morning's not the same
If I'm not with you.
