Moving on...

Another thing that helped us with the wedding budget was finding the right venue with staff who are willing to accommodate and bring out the wedding concept we "sooo wanna" have. They adjusted according to what we could afford and still, with a good quality. The place was not as grand as San Diego Ivy Hotel but the space was good enough for the reception and their garden was just what I was hoping... it has drapes of light and white flowers.. very fit for an elven wedding.

Everything was smooth and was going according to plan. Until.... it rained!!!! I was reminded of Alanis Morisette's song "Ironic". A rain on your wedding day is just sooooooooooo ironic. Especially when it's supposed to be a garden wedding. So the crew moved to plan B. Transferred all the seats and ceremonial altar to the reception hall. The hall looked funny and disorganized since the ceremonial podium seemed to pop out of nowhere. Thankfully there were friends, dressed in fairies, who volunteered to be usherettes and assisted the guests in.

There were glitches on the seating arrangements and other things that didn't go according to plan... (Blame it on the rain??) But I didn't want to look so distracted and troubled on my own wedding day so I let those distractions and worries took care of itself... (sorry guests) I decided to smile and was not stressed. Good thing too, I had my younger brother as the main coordinator and he was the shock absorber on my behalf.. hehehehe

All went well after all. It was sweet and meaningful. I'd say it was one of the best weddings I've ever attended. Because it was mine. *lolz*
