Happy Valentine's Day!

My, my... This day came and went without any funfare as to what the day really meant.. Well, it feels nice to have a "Valentino". At exactly midnight (last night) Gerry greeted me with a BIG KISS! After being married for 37 years, it still feels good, maski kiss na lang, hahaha!!! Since I have lots of things to do today, and he has several meetings to attend to, we just decided to have a belated valentine dinner on saturday...

Thoughout the day I kept receiving text messages of different kinds of greetings, meron serious, but mostly kalokohans... Here's an example:
"We all love to spend money buying clothes, BUT we never realize that the best moments in life are enjoyed without clothes.. Ha..ha..ha.. Happy Hearts Day!"... There.. but its true naman, di ba???

Best Wishes to all my Brides and Grooms

Here I am again, after more than 2 months of blog hibernation... Oh, yes, the months of December and January were real busy months for all of us, especially the wedding suppliers... People ask me why couples opt to get married in the months of December and January, and thru the 1st 2 weeks of February. Well, my guess would be because they're the coolest months of the year, nice to have someone you love huddled close to you at night... Or could it be because there's the Christmas bonus to spend for the wedding... another reason could be because the mood and ambience of the season is so cheerful as depicted in the decorations of the various venues... One reason given to me is that most relatives abroad opt to come home during this time, so might as well celebrate the wedding when they are around...

The past months were both hectic and fun! As I've said quite often: I love my job! it really gives me satisfaction knowing that I was able to help a Couple achieve a beautiful wedding. That's the good thing about this craft, at the end of each event, you have finished something.

Oh, there will never really be a perfect day, that's why I never promise my clients a perfect day. I tell them that Murphy's Law will always try to be there at all time, and that only the Lord is perfect.. But somehow, with the ardous task of preparation and creative planning, the output is well worth the work... (sans brides (and mothers or sisters) who will always look for something to complain about..)

One thing I'd like to do is to thank my couples for trusting me to assist them in planning and coordinating their special day... I was able to do my part of sharing the talent that the Lord has blessed me with, because they gave me the opportunity to do so.. And for this, I am truly grateful.

So to all my 2007 couples (and the past years as well; and to all my January & February 2008 couples - THANK YOU VERY MUCH! All of you are blessings to me and the staff of THE SOCIAL CONNECTION... Congratulations and wishing you all the best on your new life together as married couples...

As the year 2008 unfolds, we look forward to seeing more happy brides and grooms! More events, too: wedding anniversaries, debuts and birthday milestones...

This year is a milestone year for my love ones: Mama will be 95 in June, Gerry will be 65 in April, and Cheya will be 30 this February... And that means, I will really be busy planning for them - without pay...hahaha...
