simply estatic..

Yesterday my sister went down to get a package addressed to me.... When I went out of our room and she handed me the package... I was smiling from ear to ear.... I tore the package apart.... I already knew what it was since the sender was Phoeben Teocson .... wahahaha... it was the raw video footage of our wedding!

My sister was really excited as well. Super Idol nya si Bim! There were three dvd boxes in the package. All were nicely done! I love love the yellow color! The two boxes contained the dvd copy of our onsite video while the other one contains two dvds of the raw video coverage. We popped it in the dvd player and just watched... Me and my sister were laughing at some of our stolen shots... I even texted my sister who is working in Iloilo to tell her about it. Christian gave a lot of comments on how he looked like that day. It was pure happiness watching our video.. even though it is not edited yet... hehehehe

happiness...

really really love the yellow and black details on the cover

feel... we were really feeling it!

it all seems like it was just yesterday!

Thanks thanks .. many many thanks! to Bim and to Gen... We will really need to find the funds now to get this beautiful footage edited.. hahahaha... lotto... lotto...

Some of my favorite shots from Paul Vincent

This is it guys!

I got our wedding pictures taken by Paul Vincent today. I just cannot contain myself not to look at it. I even brought our rusty old laptop with me just to view it. I looked at one of the CD before I packed up at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Trinoma.... I just cannot resist it! Well, my itchiness did not disappoint me! I simply love all the pictures in the CD... and we have 4 more to look at when I get home tomorrow! I am soooo happy... happy .... happy! It is really worth to move our wedding date just to get these suppliers! They are the best! These photos are not arranged properly.. since I am too excited to post it!

Enjoy viewing Paul Vincent's work!

Crayola moment again! My IBM Friends will just love this one! I took out most of my crying moments pictures from Paul.. just to save my face from the teasing! hehehehe.. Yes mga badet.. I did not post those!

This is one of my very favorites... Our photo looks like a commercial ad for Ponds! (Kimpaw said that!)

I just cannot remember what part of the ceremony is this one! Christian was really shaking the whole ceremony!

Trying to figure out what to do with the rings... I learned that they were arguing if they are going to place it on the pillow or not... Since Michael, Xtian's best man, will be carrying our rings.. it will be weird for him to carry it on the pillow! Gosh.. a very adult ring bearer.. Duh!

Gosh.. my daddy cannot stop from crying .. from the hotel.. at the church... during the reception...

My cousin cannot resist herself having a picture taken by Paul... She has been bugging me about this picture for almost two weeks now! When I saw this one... I knew why she kept on bugging me!

My best friend Kenneth... ahem.. excuse me.. Atty. Joey.. hahaha.. with steady hands on the uno stacko game for the bachelors... Just look at the other bachelors.. praying that the stack tumble down...

Atty. Bon Vincent... Is uno stacko as complicated as an election case? LOL! Look at those eyes...

My cousin Bernard was online on Skype the whole reception... Here he is posing for pictures! Hehehehe... He should have worn his tux!

I will have to post more this weekend... More more pictures to come... I still have to get the CDS from Jayson & Jo Anne Arquiza!!! That is equal to more pictures!

Same day edit! by Phoeben Teocson

Aside from exchanging vows with Christian, our onsite or same day edit video is one of the reasons that I am looking forward to our wedding day..... It is part of the photo/video package that we got from the w@w auction and just before the wedding, I shared on this blog that Phoeben Teocson will be doing the onsite video for us.

What is an onsite video? It is usually shots taken during the wedding day from the preparation to the wedding ceremony. Others will have shots taken on the earlier part of the reception like the first couple's dance and the entrance what have you! These shots will be then edited and shown during the wedding reception..... This is technology at its finest..... but for me it is what I called "instant gratification."

When it was time to watch the video, I held hands with Christian and I know we will both love whatever Bim had made for us. I have been watching all the onsite videos that he posts on this site. It had become a habit for me to check his site every now and then just to see if there is something new. I am also a frequent visitor at Chug Cadiogan's site and he is one of our videographers as well. Well... this time it is not his client's onsite that we will be watching it is ours! It is simply beautiful! Christian loved the song!

Our guests loved it too.. They cannot stop talking about it... Well they cannot stop talking about the number of crew our photo/video suppliers! LOL!

Here it is... watch and enjoy.

12 days to go... balancing act of the guest list and one good news

Today is my last day at work before I head off and take my two weeks of leave for our big day. I am finishing all my deliverables today and also taking some time to finalize our guest list and their respective seat allocations. Me and Christian are very firm that we will not exceed the 100 guests that we have reserved. We will definitely not be sorry if some people will find us inconsiderate if they show up at the reception and not entertain them. It will be a no escort card, no seat policy at our wedding!

As of the moment we still have... 8 slots vacant due to early cancellations by my officemates since our wedding falls on a Thursday, they said that it is hard to take a leave for it. I am currently having problems with squeezing some folks that my dad wanted to be at the wedding. Well, we manage to reserve 5 seats for them and that is the highest that we can go! I know that I had arguments with some of my aunties about this issue but I am putting my feet down on this one!

I am now arranging the seat plan as well... thanks to the handy dandy tool that I got online! It is extremely useful. I am enjoying doing this seat plan thing! I just need to have the RSVP of the other folks who will be coming to the wedding. I only plotted the relatives and the entourage members plus the VIP table!

On with the good news! I received an email from Gen, wifey of Phoeben, our videographer. She was asking for the details of the wedding and was informing me the Phoeben is giving us a free onsite! Yehey... Love it! She further inquired what we want for the background song. I actually previously blogged about that onsite song and trimmed our choices to two songs. I emailed her my response and replied today, saying that Phoeben is ok with our choice! Happiness!!!! I will keep the song a surprise for now... I will not even tell Christian what is it... I will be the only one who will know... Bwahahahaha....

One of our videographers at work... Thanks for the free onsite!

I just cannot wait to see the onsite video!

Another bridal fair...

Me and Christian went to another bridal fair at SM Megamall with my American friend, Chris. It was a very small fair unlike the other fairs that I have been to before. I registered for it since I saw the list of suppliers that they have and it included the photo/video supplier that we really feel good with during the first bridal fair at the world trade center. I even texted the owner just to informed him that we will be putting in a reservation to save our date.



The fair is indeedly small, most of the suppliers were photo/video. One thing I noticed is that the suppliers are providing really good rates than the previous fairs that we went to. The rates are really suitable for budget concious soon-to-be-wed couples. We had a very good deal with our photo/video. I also love the fact that we got a 10% discount on the package and got some deals with it as well. It might not be a known photo/video provider since they are just starting up but I am really at ease with dealing with the owner of the business and he is the videographer as well. CD Worx is the name of the supplier and we cannot wait to work with them! Their photo albums are not bad as well and the pictures are really good pictures! I am keeping my fingers that everything will be good since pictures are important to since this will be the one that I can show my children when they are all grown up.
