Entourage Measurement

Days Left: 59 days as of today

The first plan was, Charles will pick up Sondy (the mananahi) at Circle C and he will bring them at my house. I am willing to pay the 1,000 as long as my Ento is complete. But then we changed the plan the day itself when I found out that only 5 will be coming. So we immediately call everyone who will come to just go to Circle C instead and we will meet them there.

(MOH, after asking a ton of questions for her gown on her

Dec. wedding finally we can go on with her measurements, peace bru.)

Missing Entos:

3 Bridesmaids, 2 Secondary Sponsor, & 1 Flowergirl

The fitting will be on Aug. 15. Excited to see the gowns... :)

That's it. Till Next Time.

Entourage's Couturier - - - - Check

Days Left: 69 days as of today

Finally after months of searching. I found a gown maker for my girls. I went to Circle C (Congressional Ave.) to talk to a gown maker we saw there. Unfortunately it's not on the same spot anymore, so I thought maybe they just moved. When I was going down the escalator I found this tarp about a certain Gown Maker. So I waited for Charles downstairs. Then we went to the the Gown maker. I showed him/her the gowns for my girls. She gave me a reasonable price. When we went home I PM'd my girls regarding the rate and the gown that they will be wearing. When everyone answered "okay" and some of them are excited asking when will be the measurements. We went back to the designer and gave him the go signal. Now we will have the 1st measurement on July 9 at my house.

For a gown maker here in quezon city he have a fair price, so instead of going to divisoria for a gown maker I chose him because he's near our house so I can easily go at the shop and check for the gowns.

Another supplier down... :)

Meet our Best Man and Maid of Honor

Days Left: 478 days as of today

I back read my blog and I noticed that my first and last blog regarding my ento is my first blog. So I want to introduce our entourage. Members of the entourage play an important role in the wedding. You can choose from your family or closest friends. Here's our list:

Best Man- this role is given to the person closest to the groom. He usually organizes the Bachelor/Stag Party (a clean one, i hope) He assists the groom in preparing on the day itself and he make sure that the groom gets to the wedding on time. He gives a speech for the bride and groom and offers the first toast on the reception. The Best Man Role goes to....

(Carlos, the one and only brother/sibling of the groom.)

Maid of Honor- she's usually the person to run to by the bride if she need help preparing for the wedding, specially if the groom is not around to help. She helps the bride in preparing for the day itself and be with her physically and mentally. She plans and host the Bachelorette party or Bridal Shower. She holds the bouquet during the exchanging of wedding rings and fix the veil and train of the bride before, during and after the ceremony. The Maid of Honor role goes to...

(Cjae, the bride's bruness since 3rd year college)

Next time I'll introduce our Secondary Sponsors.
