Ta-dah!

Most of the time, things happen when you least expect them. On the other hand, sometimes it has to be at right time at the right place and to the right people.

I’m not the typical lady who dreams of having an extravagant debut or wedding for that matter. When I turned 18, Mommy asked me to choose between a debut party and a shopping spree in Hongkong. I chose the latter. Then one day, I was engulfing with a number of gown sketches given by my Mom's designer. I knew it! Mommy opted to have a party instead of what I wished to have. Oh well, “mothers know best” so I did agree. Being the only daughter in our family, I thought Mommy would really love to throw me a party. She just loves dresses, being with people and giving me the best of the best. She did all the preparations from my cotillion de honor, escort, gowns/cocktail dresses, down to the very detail. My only participation was to be at the party which I did enjoy very much. *heehee* All ladies deserve to have a debut party because to be 18 will only happen once in our lifetime.

They say, wedding is a dream of every single woman just like a debut for every teenager. I don't agree or maybe it hasn't sinked in on me yet...

A lot of times, Xave talks to me about my two dreaded words --- wedding and marriage. I tried to avoid many times for some reasons --- I don’t even know if we’ll end up together to begin with and I wasn't that sure yet that he's THE ONE, which is NORMAL! Being together (short or long time) doesn't guarantee anybody of anything. If it's not meant, it will not happen. Well, that's how I view life and relationships. Then, people started asking me/us on when are we tying the knot. It’s the most used and abused question and it’s annoying, really! Imagine, we’ve been together for almost 10 years now and I’ve been hearing this question for the longest time already. Haha.

Now, hopefully this will end all the curiosity of people and my friends. *heehee* *drum rolling*

I’m getting married! ☺☺☺

When: moved to March 29, 2008 (Saturday)
Where: Fernbrook Gardens (www.fernbrookgardens.com)

March 28, 2008 is a milestone for Xave and myself. That’s our 10th year anniversary! *whew* That falls on a Friday which means traffic so we decided to do it on 29th instead.

God is indeed so good! He really made sure both parties are ready before they take the plunge and vow in His presence. God prepared Xave the same way He did to me. Perfect!

I made the first announcement here and I will do updates on this site as well. So people, watch this space! *wink*

There are so many things to do so little time. We are just on our first step --- date and venue. We have a long way to go…Honestly, I’m not good in planning; Xave does it better and with feelings! Haha. I guess he’ll be more hands-on during the preparations. He is more meticulous than me.

Hmm, we need a wedding planner…

Well, that’s it for now. *wink* I better get going I need to check out some more suppliers. This wedding directory we got yesterday at the wedding fair is helping me big time!

It’s Sunday, go to mass. ☺
