Gio and Imee Wedding

April 4, 2011 is the set date for Gio and Imee's Wedding
Church: Transfiguration Chapel, Caleruega Nasugbu Batangas
Reception: Sylvina's Garden inside Bali Village

April 3 good chaos :)
Call time: 12 noon - that is para sa lahat!
Meeting Place: Imee's House at Malumanay St.
Itenerary: To transport all entourage to Tagaytay via convoy
What happened: Hindi nasunod. So kumulot ang noo at buhok ata ni Millet sa pag re-organize ng mga tao para makarating sa Tagaytay in one piece...

But before that happened, eto muna ang eksena namin nila Millet at Chickie.

I was picked up by the van ng mga 8am. Then we picked up Millet at her apartment, then boom! I remembered yun mga polo ng boys, nakalimutan ko sa bahay...hahaha...buti na lang nasa makati pa kami nun naalala ko! hahaha...back to house to pick up the polos and ties. Then totoo na to we went to Ms. Matamis to pick up the cake. Then we headed towards Imee's place na to check on the couple; si Groom kasi may kumpil pa sa may Quiapo at 9:30am. There, they met up with Chickie na dakilang chaperon nila for their day's itenerary para to keep them on track na din. To our suprise, hindi pa gising yun dalawa, to take note that was already 8:30am, at dapat they should be at the Church ng 9:30am for the kumpil. So talak mode kami at pinagmadali yun dalawa. While we asked our two helpers to have their breakfast first before doing the other tasks. Si Millet will pick up the cupcakes at ako naman ay to pick up the overhead projector at board sa bahay ni Tito G sa Fairview, then pick up Gio's - the Groom - mom, son and nephew. Ok. Both task done without a sweat. Yun lang, pag balik ni Millet from the bakery - na may konting kaguluhan - dahil ang blue colored icing at naging VIOLET! So hindi maari, dapat blue ang color ng icing, in short ginawan ng retouch. So pag balik sa bahay nila Imee medyo napa hinga kami ng onti ni Millet. The entourage arrived one by one. Maiko arrived with the doves to be used at the Church; Si Peter driving one of the cars to be used to transport some of the entourage; Manong Allen one of our hired vans to transport the entourage! And to our dismay the two more cars we've been waiting didn't arrive, no advice at all!

Kebarbaridad!

So, we can't do anything about it. Plan B! The van driven by Manong Allen already headed to Tagaytay, with the Bride's sister and other members of the Entourage. Soon after I followed together with Peter, his GF and two boys from the entourage too. I was in charge of transporting the 1 tier cake for the cutting ceremony to the reception area and the making sure that the entourage are already settled in our rented house for the night.

So, everyone arrived safely at Tagaytay. Everyone settled in, ate dinner and started rehearsing for the "dance entrance" to be performed at the Reception, while Chickie and I were busy doing our artwork - misallete, offertories, table numbers and headdress. And true to our words, the rest already put their heads to sleep while the three of us - Millet, Chickie and I - stayed all night to make sure everything is finished and done. We also made a run-through of what will happen to make sure everything will be on scheduled.

APRIL 4 - WEDDING DAY!
4am call time for everyone. We also scheduled the use of the Bathrooms since we only have 2 bathrooms in the house and we are more like 15 people in the house. While the rest of the entourage were busy preparing themselves of the wedding, the three of us busy gathering all the paraphernalias we need - lanterns, offertories, tarpaulin, etc. Chickie left first with the rest of the entourage for the pictorial while Millet and I headed towards the Reception Area to check the progress of the design. Then by 930am Millet went to the Church and I was left behind at the reception area to make sure everything is taking cared of.

Then the party started :)

Oh did I mention that the couple presented us with gifts? We were really shocked and pleased with their gesture. They gave us wayfarer shades that went really well with our outfits
