The Wedding Diaries: DIY Bridal Bouquet Using Fake Flowers and Recycled Materials
By Sarah Aterrado - January 03, 2019
I would have loved to write about the 2018 that has been awesome or whatever topic that's fitting for the new year but I am more excited to share this with you.
You see, I never really thought a bridal bouquet can cost so much. Php 5,000-7,000 seriously?! No, thanks.
Today, I decided to create my own bridal bouquet because aside from the fact that we'd rather spend our money on more important things like a fridge full of frozen yogurt, I was bored as hell as well.
Plus, crafting things makes me feel giddy all the time.
So here's what boredom got me:

More than twenty years later, I do not want myself anywhere near that kind of dress. It simply does not suit my style. Not a single, tiny bit. And for once, Jan and I agreed to fork over our dream wedding from our own pockets—which opened my eyes to the sad reality that, weddings, even the simplest ones, can rack up a huge bill in a blink of an eye. With our budget, honestly, the gown is the least of my priorities. I mean, I'm not that willing to spend a ball gown that could cost half our budget that will only be worn once, for six hours at most.
The Wedding Diaries: Let's See If I Could Still Say the Same 3 Months From Now
By Sarah Aterrado - November 27, 2018
I suppose the wedding preps should have gotten me busy. But truthfully, I have no excuse for not posting regularly.
Honestly, Jan and I haven't gotten far with the wedding preparations. We'd love to think we're busy but all we’ve been doing is play Big Fish. Yes, that terrible messenger game that does nothing but spam and steal time. And we can't stop.
We still have six months to go—which caused a bit of panic to my friends who have gone great lengths to prepare for their big day. Don't fret! We have made progress, of course! We have already scoured the jewelers for our rings (okay, we only went to one). And drove around the city to do ocular inspections of the possible venues (okay, again, we only went to one). What can I say? We were sold. Immediately.
