At Rey's Request...

...I am updating our blog. :D

When we got engaged almost two years ago, Rey and I thought about the best month/day to get married. After weighing the pros and cons, and consulting significant people (our families, our friends, and the ISO), we have decided to set the wedding on June 20, 2009. We thought we would have plenty of time to plan our wedding, book our suppliers, and get everything ready for the big event.

Looking at our wedding countdown, we have less than two months to go, and while we're reviewing things in my head (the necessary elements of our "dream" wedding, the things we had to bring to Manila, the things we have to order before we leave, the seminars we need to attend, etc.), I realize that while most things are in place, we did not plan for, uh, eventualities that are part of our lives.

Rey is busy with work, and with traveling back and forth to New York (where I am currently), and I am busy with school. Yes, things are winding down, and I'm finishing up the last of my school requirements, but it's not too late to screw things up. Making sure I don't drop the ball at the homestretch takes as much effort as it does to run with it in the first place, if not more so.

Having said that, our families have been blessings in their support and understanding, and their willingness to help us with wedding details. My parents have been really patient, and my sister, doubly so. Rey has been the most (the ultimate) patient guy. :) Jody, our wedding coordinator, has also been heaven-sent.

As I am still in the process of running with the ball to homestretch, I will be updating the blog as often as time permits.

On the upside: we have gotten our wedding bands sized. They had to make mine smaller (since it came in the standard size 7), and they had to have Rey's enlarged. Lol. :p
