10 AM
Sta. Rita de Cascia Parish, Philam Homes, Q.C.
After two and a half months of preparations, stress and anxiety, Jam and I tied the knot. It was a simple wedding, with a simple mass in a quaint church inside a peaceful subdivision. As the wedding was set at 10:00 am, I was a sleep-less bride. My sister-coordinator Ate Wheng showed up at the hotel at 10 pm on March 14, Eone, Kuya Jing and Nanay Nita in tow...only to go back to far away Taytay since they forgot to pack Kuya Jing's pants and undershirt. Kuya Jing is designated proxy Ninong (in place of Ninong Mike) and Bridal Car Driver.
Leo - or Lea - my HMUA showed up at 5 am, ever prompt. As I took my bath, they set-up the make-up and their thingies. I've already prepared my gown the previous night, putting it on the body form I bought from Divi. My arrhaes, pillows, cords, veils, shoes are all laid out on the bed, ready for the photographer.
Jam was on the way to the hotel at around 6, having come from MY house. He's driving the family car, with dad, mom, my youngest sis and maid aboard. They alsso pickep-up the flowers from Ninang Soc's shop.
Jaime Dolera and the rest of Pixelmix, our P/V arrived at 7. By that time, I was already fully made-up and harrassed. Sister Coordinator Wheng has just taken her bath, and Younger Sister Maid of Honor Gie and Mom and Maid are just about to. Imagine!
I dressed myself as the rest of my entourage was having their make-up done. Pixelmix went up to Groom's room, took pictures and was back to snap more shots of me. I was finding it hard to really smile for the camera as my mom kept on looking for her wallet...
We were able to leave Garden Heights at about 9:45...Mom and I had to carry the bog box of souvenirs and wedding stuff down...What a sight I was, in my gown, train over one arm and one hand carrying the box...stuffing myself inside a cramped elevator. It was turning out to be a nightmare wedding.
