Thankful.
I have to type this now or else it will escape my memory.
I went to get my baptismal certificate at St. Francis Xavier Parish, got it in less than thirty minutes, (the waiting time was longer and scarier than the actual release of papers).
Then Ate Tin went with me to the caterer, Martha’s Plate, and I must say - they are the kindest caterers you will ever meet. So humble and easy to talk to. I was starstruck, I didn’t realize until about thirty minutes into the conversation that I was talking to them - the owners themselves.
They gave us a wedding gift, a free salad bar! and they also waived the 10% service fee, haha! All in all, I got everything at a lot cheaper cost! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the final computation.
They were kind enough to give us at least three days to come up with the final date and venue, and to hold the “tentative” date until we’re able to inform them about the final details.
Then we went to the florist, and it’s such a bonus to have a tita who knows almost everyone in town. Haha. She’s like a walking discount voucher. The florist gave everything, from bridal bouquet to every single person in the entourage, to the church decor, for only 5k pesos. Jawdropping.
Then we went to the Photo and Video coverage, and yes, Tita knew them too. Haha. They gave us a package we couldn’t resist, at an awfully low price.
All in all, we saved, just for today = 35,000 pesos.
Who says we’re behind? Haha.
