Wedding Preps Series: Big Day is Coming!

We are barely two weeks away from our wedding day! I just can't believe it! Looking at my list I still have a lot to do! Yes. More than a year of planning, and here I am weeks from my wedding and I am still busy.

Quickly grabbed my tablet for updates. I missed you all bride to be's. My biggest dilemma is my wedding dress. It won't fit me comfortably since I got back from Cambodia 2 weeks ago. Imagine my horror. Since then I've been working out religiously, I'm watching my diet. No rice for now. Limited carb intake. I'm also drinking One Earth's Detox Trim Tea which seems to be effective. Since I started drinking it, I don't feel bloated at all.  I am selling a few more boxes, so email me if you're in need.  I don't starve myself - no one should! I just eat right. More fiber, whole grains are great, low fat yogurt, nuts, fruits ans veggies, fish, chicken breast. Easy on beef and pork.  I have no doubts I can fit into my dress comfortably again before the wedding. But I admit, I resent everything I ate in Cambodia.



I am currently working on our wedding souvenirs.
Guests will use this at the party. So we had to wash and clean them one by one. I'm so excited about this!





I'm also done wrapping up our wine giveaways for the principal sponsors. Might include chocolates for pairing.

I can say I am getting stressed out. I'm worried that I can't accomplish everything properly given that we only have 2 more weekends before the big day. I want everything to be perfect, but I know the reality.  So I'm worried I will be disappointed and frustrated if things don't turn out as I hoped.

Just had our final meeting with our OTD wedding coordinator last Saturday - Events Simplified. I trust them. I trust Kaice. I know they can deliver. Honestly, I do not know what to do if we didn't get a coordinator.  It's important for big events like this.

 This coming weekend fiancé and I need to go to one of our ninongs in Laguna for his birthday and to give the invitation. We've been visiting the ninongs and ninangs one by one over the past weeks. The next weekend will be the last, one of the ninangs from the States. This is what pretty much occupies our weekends since I got back Manila. I'm an event coordinator myself. It's my bread and butter.  I can do this!!!

Good luck to all! ♡
