it has been a pretty hectic week for Joseph and I as we had to attend to last-minute meetings with major suppliers. right now, we are in the process of zoning and grouping guests to organize our seating arrangements. i knew from the start that this was going to be a major headache, but there seems to be no other easy way around it.
we attended my cousin Kate's wedding last Saturday. for us, it was a little preview na rin as to what might happen on our big day. it was a good way for us to note what parts of the program might or might not work for us. needless to say, we learned a lot. :)
i got my wedding gown already from Veluz yesterday. everything was placed in one enormous box as i also got the other accessories na rin that came with Veluz' bridal package.
my gown is just lovely. sometimes, i still cannot believe that it's done already and i'd find myself taking a peek into the box once in a while. oh and i couldn't help also but take a photo of the hemline (with beads now) and the two pillows for the bearers.
as usual, sneak preview lang. you can view the rest of the photos here.

after sleepless nights of surfing on the net, we now have a place to stay after the wedding. it's a little apartelle and it's near our parents' house so it's very convenient for both of us. we will only be staying there for two weeks, until Joseph leaves for Oz in January.
I have yet to receive my spouse visa from the Australian Embassy. hopefully, by next week, we'll hear from them na. i need the papers so i can avail of the first-time immigrant free additional baggage allowance of 20 kilos.
only 8 days left til the wedding. we are keen on finishing all the details this week so that next week medyo relaxed na. i wish! :P
