Pamamanhikan...
...I woke up wid a smile today, yet when i remembered that Jon's family's coming here for the pamamanhikan, I began to get nervous... I had to make myself busy althroughout the day to be less anxious and edgy...
Jon called me up early in the afternoon and told me he will be reserving the adjacent table also at Gloria Maris coz they also invited his other relatives for dinner after going here...
Jon's family arrived here around 5pm... Mama Rose, Papa Ding, Lola n Alex went with Jon to ask for my hand (heheÜ)... We of course welcomed them with open arms, had the usual beso-beso and offered them merienda (doughnuts n mixed fruits)... No one seems to want to speak at first (parang pati cla kinakabahan den... ÜÜ), but fortunately, Mama Rose found her voice and spoke... and all went well after that... (Jon told me afterwards that before going here, they even had some practice at home about what to say, who to speak first, etc... ÜÜ). We talked about some of the wedding details... the date (why we changed it from 8dec to 9dec - our 8th year anniv), the church venue (San Agustin - which UNESCO described as one of the oldest churches in the Philippines which stood the test of time, the reception venue (Pan Pac is our choice as of the moment), and other matters as well...
Afterwards, we proceeded to Gloria Maris for the lauriat dinner... There were twenty of us: Mama Rose, Papa Ding, Alex, Lola, Tita Roma, Mark, Ate Bel, Maysie, Mikee, Jack n friend, Mommy, Kate, Peng, Kuya Arnel, Ate, Cholo, Chuchay, Kuya Art n Ate Ymat... more kwentuhans and picture-taking... after the sumptuous dinner n more chikas, Jon's family and Ate's went home already... (Mommy, Kate n Peng decided to stay and walk around...) ..Jon n I went back home muna and got his car, when we got there, i was greeted by a black/brown butterfly which flew around me then disappeared... I knew in my heart it was (a sign) from my dad that he was with us and that he approves...Ü
table 1
table 2
...we went back to valuepoint to fetch my lot n found them looking around the bridal fair (we weren't able to watch the bridal fashion show sponsored by M. Yumul --sayang!)...then we went home... When we got there, di pa ren natapos ang kwentuhan.. we even ate again (left-overs from Gloria Maris n the mixed fruits)! Jon stayed 'til 11:30 pm...
...I feel so happy n contented with the way things went today... super gumaan feeling ko...Ü (i'm sure Jon feels the same way...) haaaaayyyyy....ÜÜÜ
...ON WID DA WEDDING PREPS!!!
