my emergency rose petals :)

i love sophie kinsella (author of Shopaholic series). i have ALL her books as my personal collection :) our love affair started back in December 2003 (yep even before i got together with my fiance') when i saw her book Can You Keep a Secret in Powerbooks Megamall and i got so curious with it that when i got to work and we were going to give our wishlist for the Christmas Party gift-giving, it was the only thing i asked for from my "mommy":D needless to say i got it. :)

on her Shopaholic Ties The Knot book the heroine Becky Bloomwood got married to long-time love Luke Brandon. one of my fave parts was when they were about to exit from the reception as newlyweds and her wedding planner Robin had emergency rose petals, coz the first set of rose petals was already used but unfortunately there was a gatecrasher and their romantic exit was all ruined. when Robin told Becky to wait, they would repeat the exit again through emergency rose petals, Becky was absolutely surprised and asked "You have EMERGENCY rose petals?"and then Robin said, "Darling, this is why you hire a wedding planner. I got every eventuality covered!" to which Becky replied, "Robin, i think you're worth every penny":D

so far i think that's what i would say to our wedding coordinator sis Chi (of http://onceabride.tk) if only we have spent any penny on her and her hubby haha! :P she has been nothing but a lifesaver so far, and my sanity is slowly coming back! :D just yesterday i emailed her that i do not want a carpet for my aisle but pink rose petals instead, like this:


i pitched my idea to erick and he liked it too :) but both of us have been a bit worried about how it would work considering i would be the last to walk down the aisle.. sabi pa nya baka daw paglaruan lng ng mga kid entourage tapos di na maglakad haha! :P but we just shrugged it off.. then when i emailed my idea to my planner sis Chi, she said it will be lovely but pointed out our exact concern.. and then she said to avoid ung pagkakagulo ng petals by the time it's my turn to walk, they would just put some more and rearrange the petals again :)

this is why you hire a wedding planner! :D it's these little things which matter.. why haven't we thought of that?? i guess the stress is making us all-blank haha! :P i am such a satisfied client.. i'm not sure if she's reading this but thanks sis Chi! :) you and your team are gonna make me so happy by giving me my very own emergency rose petals.. love it! :D

HONEYMOON: Omg.. wala pa :( we're thinking maybe by end of this year na lang ang decent honeymoon namen just to cut down the costs.. so baka Batangas or Laguna na lang honeymoon namen sa Pinas.. maybe just someplace lovely and private :) para di din tipid ung honeymoon namen.. uhmm Italy, Venice?? omg pupunta na ang Emirates sa Spain! yahoo!!!!!!!! (dreaming...)
WEDDING RINGS: WALA PA DIN! also counting on DSF.. huhuhu :( God help us..
