and then again, maybe not

last week i was all set to get Susie Bonaobra, but after the bridal fair... i think i've changed my mind.

i saw April and Karen Yu's gowns and they were beautiful, specifically the indian silk organdy one. juxtaposed with susie's designs, april & karen's were a lot more intricate but simple... so i'm setting a meeting with them after this week. as a minor plus, they seem easy to talk to and they're relatively young (karen is my younger sister's batchmate in ateneo)! (ok so that's how i sounded last week when i blogged about bonaobra...)

i was also pleasantly surprised to meet John Ong's wife at the fair, and saw a parents' book in their booth. for P2,500 parents can get a mini-me version of a storybook... which is a really nice idea, except that the lead time is anywhere from 2 weeks to a month - a luxury that we won't really have after the wedding... but it's a good idea nonetheless.

i also got a copy of Wedding Essentials! i must say, it's a far cry from Metro Weddings or Bride & Home! Terry Uy, our main photographer, is featured in one section, and when i read the article about him, i couldn't help but feel that we made the right decision to hire him.

it's funny how you get to see batchmates and friends in bridal fairs... either as suppliers or brides-to-be. i was surprised to learn that our old friends fortune and jimbo and getting married next year... so what better way to learn the big news than to bump into the bride! hehehe!

so we'll see how it goes with april & karen... i do hope the search will be over soon so that the next thing i'll worry about is how to lose weight before measurements are taken!
