newlyweds at the wedding expo

the wedding expo… a bridal fair known to be the largest, in terms of number of exhibitors, here in our country.  for soon-to-weds, this is the fair to be in as couples can scout around to know what’s the latest in the industry and which supplier fits each couple’s theme and/or budget.  generally, soon-to-weds enter the fair with nothing at hand but leave the expo with a bag full of flyers and brochures… waiting to be segregated, studied and compared to one another.  just this weekend, the first of two wedding expos were held at the picc forum showcasing a whopping 300+ suppliers… and we, not soon-to-wed but newlyweds, were there.

bakit?

because it is only at the wedding expo that 4 of our favorite suppliers will be present in one venue.

tapos?

since they’ve been very nice since the preps up til wedding day (and even after) and the services they delivered were nothing short of excellent, we decided to give each of them gifts as tokens of our appreciation.  as simple as our gifts are (hirap mag-isip ng gifts sa successful people, ha.  hehe), hopefully, our gifts would convey how thankful we are for them.  kaya sa mga kaibigan namin who are about to get married or thinking of getting married or even those who have no plans yet of getting married, take note of these suppliers… from the persons that they are to the talents that they have… we have nothing but high, high praises.  🙂

with our ever-stylish caterer, kaye at her extremely elegant corner booth (always a standout).  btw, pics of our wedding setup was being played on the plasma screen shown at back.  humingi nga kami copy ng slideshow, eh atsaka hi-res pics.  🙂
and another thing, sinamahan pa nya kami sa metro weddings booth para makakuha ng free cupcakes by sonja’s.  o, dba, may gift din sya sa amin.  😉

with our humble but very talented videographer, bob (and his wife, let).  same setup na ginawa sa kasal namin w/ the lcd screen.  pati onsite namin ni-pla-play at nasa cd sampler.  hehe.  kaya tumulong na din kami mamigay ng samplers sa mga dumadaan.  😀
pagkauwi namin, we watched bob’s new sampler (all onsite videos) and at lupit na talaga nya.  justified ang pagtaas ng rates.  🙂

with our super kulit pero super galing photographer, fol (and the makulit and talented din russ).  syempre, tawanan lang pag nasa booth ni fol.  unang pic… mali.  east digital ba naman ang gawing background.  hehe.  ulit tuloy… next 2 pics kita na booth nina fol.  🙂
ganda bagong artbook paper.  gus2 namin ganun.  😀
we also got dvd samplers… 2 pa binigay sa amin ni fol… para tig-isa daw kami.  haha.  kulet.  syempre pinanood din pagdating sa bahay.  like all his works, kahit sampler lang, professionaly done.  galing.  🙂
