on becoming an obsessed with wedding planning

Posted on Thursday, April 8, 2010 by charmie

Before the official engagement happen, I was so crazy the idea of wedding. As you browse my blogs you can see some photos of my dream wedding gowns. As I became officially engaged with him and mesmerizing that moment, I started dreaming my wedding to be, then I realized I am pretty obsessed with my own wedding. And I guess too, that someone might be obsessed with wedding planning. Maybe you can relate a few....

I am becoming an obsessed - when I spend a lot of time in my computer, browsing, searching, reading articles about wedding planning. Watching vedio on you tube and repeat watching it from time to time. 

I am becoming an obsessed - when I can't work straight and keep on thinking about my wedding.

I am becoming an obsessed - when I create vedio that I  can play on to the projector and show to my guest on the day of my wedding.

I am becoming an obsessed - when I want to put up business in wedding planning and coordinataion.

I am becoming an obsessed - when I keep thinking what to write next on my wedding blogs

I am becoming an obsessed - when I want to design my own wedding gown

I am becoming an obsessed - when I ordered my personalized wedding cords online, just to make sure I have a lovely wedding cords.

I am becoming an obsessed - when I can give a lot of reason on planning my wedding.

choosing a wedding dates..

Posted on Monday, March 22, 2010 by charmie




I was really upset of what had happen last night but everything happens for a reason.

We had difficulty on choosing our wedding dates. Filipino tradition has a superstitious belief on choosing wedding dates. My parents choose according to the moon,full moon is good that's what they said,  and my fiancee's parents choose according to the months, April and May is a good month to get married. We picked the date May 26. But because of the circumstances happened, we start again from the beginning. 

Some of us believed Chinese Feng Shui, If your chosen dates does not belong  from the Chinese Feng Shui , there are some solution with that. So don't be upset . You can follow this those who want to get married this year.

what is wedding all about?

Posted on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 by charmie

Anywhere and everywhere in the world month of June is very popular for weddings. But what is wedding all about? Why do need  brides wear white dress? Is it necessary?

With my conversation with Sarah, my 91 years old employer, married for 67 years with her husband. She said wedding are the union of two person. She was married in a war time, and her parents in-law wanted her only to wear a blue dress that suits her husband wearing an air force uniform. When her father found out, he said no way "My Sarah , should wear a white dress" It came up to my mind the question , why do brides wear white dress for their wedding? Sarah told me white dress signifies virginity and purity. You walk to the aisle presenting yourself to your husband as pure which you kept throughout your life. Then, what if you are not a virgin? Is it necessary to wear white dress? In my point of view it is traditional most especially for a Christian Catholic Wedding. Wearing white dresses is a dream of every woman. Is it beautiful for a bride to wear a white dress for her wedding day

When I started planning my wedding, I soon realized that this is wedding all about. From a small tiny details, from the dress, motif, church, reception, hair and make-ups, hosting and event, accommodation and from your guest, invitation, souvenirs, etc.. I consider doing our wedding in my place, to my favorite and dream Church.  But there is always a lot of suggestion and idea comes which I preferred  not to bother. The hassle area now is the preparation of our Wedding Requirements. Our parents are the one who help us complying our papers but it needs a lot of reminding them, really difficult. huh! Since both of us are not there, we hire a Wedding Planner who can help us organize our dream wedding. People thought that hiring a wedding planner/coordinator is expensive. Basically, wedding planner/coordinator have special packages like on the day coordination package, full coordination package, semi full coordination package, hair and make up package, and event hosting and entertainment package. Contact Wedding Planner at kasal.com and ask for the packages I mention. Let the planner take care of any item, no matter how small or big it is because she knows your price range so she can weed out any vendor who doesn't fall within your budget. In addition , she will work and know according to the taste of your wedding. Hiring them is less stressful and chaos rather than working your own effort . And you don't know every penny comes out from your pocket when you sum up sometimes are more higher  than the budget you expect to render.

This is all about, about planning our dream wedding to be. But do we consider planning right after the wedding? This is the most important criteria of getting into married. Like what Sarah was telling me most often, never mind the wedding. The most important is right after the wedding. If you have something to eat, something to leave on and keeping going on life as a couple. That is the question all about??? Hehehe!!!

on our simple plan...

Posted on Monday, March 8, 2010 by charmie

Sounds odd for everybody but me and my boyfriend "fiancee plan to settle down by the time we will be there (Philippines). Everything happen merely on the internet but it seems like we are close for each other. read this. Our only lifeline with this relationship is our computer and our phone. Nothing is impossible I think if you both interested and make an effort with the relationship you have. I agree maintaining a long distance relationship is very difficult. Some of my friends like Long Distance Relationship. They said , the less you talk and see each other, the less you have fights and arguments. Is it true? Here are some Do's and Dont's.

Probably, my friends, followers if I have (yes, I did have) hehehe!!! are scared reading with my simple revelation about wedding plans. Why? I hasn't meet the person, and we plan the wedding we wanted to be. With this society or world , I supposed it's not new especially those OFW , like me spending most of their time with their job to earn money while working abroad.  While working they are sneaking around in dating websites to meet the partner of their life. I'm one of them hehehe and if they found their perfect partner they thought , some plane to meet first , and some plans to prepare a wedding and when they'll meet it's ended up in the Altar of Matrimony.. You might like the story of Alex and Ems. 


Going back on our simple plan...


We want only a simple wedding yet elegant and memorable. A fairy tale theme,that match our destiny, with turquoise blue fuchsia pink motif. hmmmm. 


I posted the inspirational board of the motif...

my crazy thoughts of wedding plan

Posted on Friday, July 10, 2009 by charmie

When my boyfriend (chatmate boyfriend) ask me "will you marry me? , with no hesitant and doubts I said "YES" crazy, isn't it??? I haven't meet him in person but I agree. Since then , I know I am engaged with the stranger.

I started making plans, since both of us working overseas. (crazyness) but what's harm in planning a small wedding? People say that little girls dream about their wedding. When I think about having my wedding with a room full of people staring at me as I walk by in a giant dress and my groom waiting to take me in the altar. I really cringe and excited. You couldn't imagine the feeling but I supposed everybody feels the same.

For the past months I got engaged "kuno" LOL.. (the fact that I haven't meet him) I have a mixed feeling. Excited but I am frightened, frightened maybe because I haven't meet him personally or scared because I'm going to enter another chapter of my life. Scared as well that if I will meet him my feelings change and I will say "no he is not the right man for me" or vice versa.

Now we are arranging our wedding but what if the time comes, as I said earlier "the meeting" I am scared what he will say or I do. I am really starting to think of a huge mistake. I keep asking to him if we are doing the right thing but he assured me that It won't happen what I think.

As people say getting married is not a game. It is not like food you eat that if you don't like the taste you could spit it out. It is a lifetime commitment. And one woman told me, wedding is just a wedding. What's important is right after the wedding. Started a new life and even you know your fiancee for a long time but you didn't live together is not the same. You only know a person if you live with him/her. You have to consider in every decision you make. And even you have the brilliant ideas make him feel that is his idea. So lot to give more than you receive. For as long he could provide me what I need. As long he make a living, for me that's the important thing.
