Mike and I have been tackling our wedding preparations at break-neck speed but I've been very, very slow in blogging about it. 
Here are the things we've accomplished so far during the past week:
- Sent out our wedding invitations to Canada, U.S., Cebu, Dumaguete, and of course, Manila
- Bought my bridal shoes already (love my shoes! more pictures here)
- Finalized design and fabric choice for reception gown
- Bought "thank you gifts" for the lady members of our entourage (complete)
- Bought a wedding gift for Tito Pat (Mike's Dad); still searching for a gift for Tita Cora (Mike's Mom) and my parents
- Paid our Table Names in full
- Finalized Buffet menu for our Rehearsal Dinner
- Finalized the program for our Rehearsal Dinner
- Submitted baby pictures and pre-nup pictures to Imacron for our AVP
- Submitted the final draft of our Misalette to Sid of Amis Print for printing
- Finalized the packaging for both the wedding guests and principal sponsors' wedding souvenirs
- Through the kindness of Ninang Mita, we have Sinamay bags and boxes customized to have our wedding colors of Burgundy and Gold. She had them custom made in Bicol. (Thanks Ninang Mita! Mike and I love them! They're beautiful!)
- The bags have Burgundy frills on top and Gold threads underneath the frills. The Sinamay boxes for the principal sponsors have Burgundy and Gold ribbons (more pictures of the Sinamay bags and boxes here).
Here are the things that we still need to do or are working on:
- Mike needs to shoot the video segment of our AVP at Imacron's studios (I might shoot my part of the video segment here in the US)
- Finish the guest list (yes we're not done yet--we have a couple of regrets and but a lot of attendees)
- Buy presents for Principal Sponsors for Rehearsal Dinner
- Choose 25 songs for Reception
- Finish table assignments
That's all I can think of for now...I'm sure I forgot to mention a million other things...
