Wedding Insider: Can we really get married in the Church with a limited budget?

-
The good news is - YES! Just like what I said in my previous blog, you just have to decide and work on the budget that suits you.

The fiancƩ and I came from a Catholic household so it was somewhat an expectation that we get married at the church. Admittedly, at first, we opted to do civil rites because we said we only had less than a hundred thousand to spare. Through time, and when he finally popped the question "formally," I started looking for suppliers. Here's how our plans evolved:

Which would you choose?

These are summarized versions of all the churches, reception venues and wedding packages we considered. To date, we are going for Plan D. From the initial plan of holding civil rites, we ended planning for a church wedding. We found options we can use to push through with the wedding without having to shell out so much. By the term "so much" we meant P300,000.00 or more. We opted for what is the least expensive and went for the most practical choice. I'd like to put it the way the priest in our pre cana seminar taught us - "A wedding is just a DAY, a marriage is for a LIFETIME." Do whatever works for you. You don't need to please everybody. If it looks beautiful to you, it really is regardless if it is grand or not. As long as it is decent, planned and well thought of, then I guess it is more than okay. 

P.S. Actual prices and breakdown of our wedding will be disclosed after the big day so stay tuned! šŸ˜„

(Note: Wedding insider is a series of articles that I will post regarding the happenings related to our BIG DAY. This is hopefully one of the many.)

Dealing with LBC Express

I have been a community relations assistant for 4 1/2 years now and I have been accustomed as to how an issue or concern should be managed. If one resident has a problem, I collect all the details and if it is beyond my authority to decide, I relay it to my immediate supervisor or project manager and they advise me on the way forward. It is also what I revert to the person. I remember how the community people would nag me whenever I don't give them a feedback right away and at first, I admit, I don't understand why they have to be stubborn. But later on did I began to appreciate when your queries are addressed properly and promptly just like a customer and service provider relationship. Last Thursday, I had the worst experience in customer relations.

The Beautiful Pinto Art Museum

In the quiet place of Grand Heights at Antipolo lies a unique and beautiful museum namely,  Pinto Art Museum . It houses numerous paintings, may it be on acrylic or wood, by Filipino painters such as Neil Manalo, Elmer Borlongan, and Alfredo Esquillo Jr. among others. There are also other installations collaborated through the use of other media that I never thought would look perfectly good altogether. It was a refreshing site to see. The level of appreciation I have for paintings or any other art pieces are not as technical as others may have but I must commend that the exhibit inside are very beautiful indeed. Here are snapshots of some of the paintings: Mga Bata sa Pantasya ng Karahasan by Neil Manalo Karnabal by Salingpusa (several artists). This is also one of the two largest canvases in the museum.
