1st wedding
A few more days and it's our wedding na. Not OURS ours. It's our 1st wedding where my boyfriend and I are the event managers. Our very first. Hay, what will happen kaya? Chaotic yun for sure.The couple is actually referred to our business by a common maxi friend. And I guess being in the wedding business promotes so much of one's PR abilities, specially to the parents of the couple.
Weird and funny thing about this particular wedding is that the couple seems to be getting married for their parents' chance to invite as many of their kumpares and kumadres as possible.
That's what happens when the one of the couple's parents are paying for everything. In this case, it's the groom's parents, to which it seems is on the hike up the social ladder. 90% of the guests are these parents' friends. Imagine, having a wedding where the couple doesn't have a clue as to who their guests are.
It sucks big time. But hey, it's their call in the first place. They let the parents meddle with their special day and that's what they get. You don't need a lavish wedding (but it won't hurt either) just to be married. The importance is the each of you are finally bounded by love with God's blessings.
So, as event managers, we are already up our neck on all the preparations. Downside of all these is the bride not having any idea on planning her own wedding herself! We had to give her suggestions all the time - from the food, to the song. The groom isn't much help either and even despises sentimental love songs. Hello??? It is a wedding afterall, not a rock concert.
To make matters worse, the groom's parents have hired a DI. Yes, a dance instructor. How 70's can it get right? They wanted a dance floor specifically for this since their oldies guests are supposed to enjoy that special night. So much for considering it a gimik night as well.
But, as the wedding coordinators, we have no choice but to be excited for the couple. It is their day afterall, amidst all the craziness around.
We are crossing our fingers that this weekend wedding will be a blast.
