Engagement Kwento


Hi to all!
I would like to share with you guys our "Engagement" story. Got Officially Engaged June 14, 2011. Yes its been a while before we really plan to get married. Wedding Planning started October 2011 But not until May this year we book our venue.
Any how, Let me share with you guys our Short story.


June 12,2013. We planned to go out and eat but he said he will go by himself and get some to go food in Tagaytay then we'll eat together at their house. I did not know he had some plan already coz he told me hindi siya makadiskarte since lagi kame magkasama.hehe But anyway He went home bringing nothing kasi daw close na ang restaurants sa Tagaytay (ewan ko ha!)

 Then He told me, Dont go to the other room sa house nila kasi He's doing something Special! So expecting naman ako ulit!hahaha But then again, nagutom nako at lahat, still no Surprise!
 So I already stop expecting coz I know its not his Personality to be creative or be very romantic.

I never saw that room not until next day. (June 13,2011)
He stayed late fixing stuff on that room.  And to my surprise, since he said he feels so pressured daw. eto ang end up ng Room na yun!hihi ( covered with table cloth/linen) points for effort though!

A+ for effort!

 Above was pic of his Set up, we had Breakfast there. I also saw some flowers on the side, He was not able to finish it for some Panic Reasons. hehe

hmm. I guess dpat nakalat siya sa floor diba?=)

We're able to finish our bfast sa set up Table nya but He didnt tell me anything. NO surprises at all!! So I stop Hoping for a Ring!haha

Night of June 14, He was doing something in his room, He told me not to make kulit or call coz hes  busy doing something. I did my personal stuff also then before 12MN, I was asleep na He knock on the room and told me If I can go to his room and check something. ( Sorry i was not able to take a pic of the set up table, I was tense)

4 Boxes,different shapes.If I can chose top 1 to 4, (its all handmade) effort ulit! The Last box was a ring also,made of paper.I was telling him so Sweet naman even its not a true ring, I trully appreaciate it. Maybe he does not have money to buy a ring yet so Im happy for the effort he made.

 Nino said to open the paper ring ( tense na talaga, open daw?its already a paper ring) and  If I can Rush so I did! i saw something Shining!!whoola!! Its a RING!! I was so teary eyed , I was not expecting it.

1,2,3, 4th is my RING wrapped in paper.

My Rings!=)

My phone alarmed exactly 12MN, its our monthsarry with a message on it! Another surprise!

He said, It might not be the ring I want, He will get me a ring I really like! But I love it!!! Its my engagement ring!!:) Who will not love a ring that means alot right? kahit na plastic pa yan.


We don't have Pictures together, We were so overwhelmed, so happy and I was surprised! (wala din taga picture.)

Nothing extravagant, nothing public Proposal. Its a very private moment, just 2 of us. Feeling is very unique. Feels so good. All I did that time was to Cry.(happiness)

June 14 2011

 I share this to the world to tell everyone,YES I am engaged and I am getting Married soon with my Love!!

My Love, My Forever.

The Venue

Our Perfect Venue for Intimate Wedding.

Its a Tagaytay-Batangas Wedding I must say. We looked around Tagaytay for venue. We check other places as well, There's alot of venue you can possibly check in Tagaytay. But for Us, We considered our guest if how far is it from Church since Going to church is already a travel from Manila.  I knew about about this place from W@W (Thanksss!) Went I went home Last May, Me and Hubby looked for Venue personally. I had other choices  but when we saw this, Its so pretty and its near from Caleruega.

I mean for an Intimate wedding this place is perfect.  Rate is not cheap but affordable compare to other Venue around that would cost double or more. With the View of Taal Batangas, Yes its worth it and good deal!

Cons: If you want a Large amount of guest, its not a good place since its a small area. it will be too congested if more than 150. So we are gonna try to really down size our guest. Not that we dont want to invite but because our venue cannot accomodate alot of guest and this is the place we want so No Kontra from kontrabida!#just saying.
We will invite people close to both of us, People that are happy to see us get married and have fun with us!

 One of things we have to pray for. Sunny Weather on our Big Day!!We have lots of ideas on our mind so we're hoping Mr Sun will give us Bright Sunny Day!

So excited!!

First and Most Imporant.

 

The One!

We are so excited for May 2013. As not all people know but We Cant wait! Though we did not get to have the ideal Date we wanted, We still decided to get Married here! When we saw the Place, fell in love with it and became out Non-Negotiable Church, though  its smal Chapel. What makes it more beautiful is that it has serene view, very picturisque and very good for Intimate wedding. 

So All I can say is I'm all "E" about it! What ever you can think of!haha 

Thats it for now, This is my First Blog ever! So pagbigyan niyo na!:) Will post more soon!

By the way, As we are trying to Make it Intimate as possible, Guest is by Invitation only and Gate Crashers are not allowed! (peace)
