Robinsons Highlands Clubhouse

After we went to St. Francis of Assisi Parish the other Sunday (Feb 9), we went to Robinsons Highlands Clubhouse (5-10 minute ride from the church) to check out the place. The clubhouse has rave reviews about its wonderful ambiance and view of Davao. Perfect place for a nature-themed wedding reception! =) And the clubhouse didn't disappoint even though it was raining and all we got were crappy, foggy pictures using Labsie's phone camera. Hehe!
The place will fit about 100 persons but you can extend to the side (see above pic) with tents. There was one guy who said he had a 600 person wedding there. 600?? Goodness! O_o As for us, we're having a max of 200 persons. Labsie and I come from large clans (my mom and his dad have 9 siblings!!) so the 200 guests will be mostly relatives. More pictures below:

This is the front entrance --
The left side view is overlooking Davao --
The right side view is overlooking the subdivision full of magnificent homes --
If you're interested, you can contact the clubhouse's office at (6382) 221-5072 =)

wedding blog header dilemma

Gosh! I'm on my fourth wedding blog header redesign already! I'm not really fond of designing blog headers, and my other four blogs are a testament to that. Probably because I'm not good at designing them, hehe! But with our wedding blog, I had this uncontrollable urge to customize everything including the blog header.

And so, after 4 redesigns (one of which I used for the past weeks), I'm finally at peace with what I created. Actually, I was okay with #2 (see below) but Labsie did not like the way he looked at the photos I used. I hope he likes this one coz I don't like to redesign again! Hehe =) Below are the so-so blog headers I made prior to the current one above.
#1
#2
#3

wedding requirements in St. Francis

As planned, we went to St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Maa, Davao City last Sunday. We were really amazed with the nature backdrop of their altar. Simply gorgeous! We can definitely see ourselves getting married there =) And so we got the wedding requirements, and here it is (just in you stumble on our wedding blog looking for it):

1. Baptismal and Confirmation certificates
  • date of issuance within 6 months of wedding
  • with "for marriage purposes" annotation
2. Parish Permit (if you're not from St. Francis)

3. Marriage License (from the local civil registrar)

4. Pre-Cana Seminar (every 4th Saturday and Sunday of the month)

5. Marriage Banns (for 3 consecutive Sundays)

Submit all requirements at least one month before wedding. Interview follows submission and is held every Wednesday 830-11am. Booking of wedding follows after interview. This is the wedding schedule in St. Francis: Tuesday to Saturday; 1030am, 2pm, 330pm.

Ning is getting married and he's giving away $$$!

Man, he sure has lots of money! Hehe! Imagine, he's spending money for his wedding and yet he can afford to give away $1500 to lucky bloggers! That's $100 for 15 bloggers -- and I sure hope I'll win! $100 in our country is about P4000 and that will surely cover the cost of our wedding invitations. Or half the cost of our wedding cake =) *I must win, I must win, I must win* LOL!

If you're interested, head on over to Ning's $1500 marriage giveaway. Yup, just click that link and it will take you to the post where the mechanics are written down. Good luck but I hope I win! Hahaha! =p To Ning, congratulations and best wishes! =)

big day on sunday!

Labsie and I will go to St. Francis Church on Sunday to see firsthand how pretty the place is and to get the wedding requirements. Then afterwards, we'll go to Robinson's Highlands Clubhouse, our preferred site for the wedding reception. According to those who had their receptions there, the view is magnificent and the air so fresh. We'll see about that =) Stay tuned for the pictures!

Also, we will go shopping for engagement and wedding rings. With Valentines Day around the corner, most jewelry shops are having a sale so we'd take advantage of that =)

wedding gown??

Honestly, I still have no idea what to wear on my wedding day! All I know is that I'm gonna be wearing white coz Labsie put his foot down and said I couldn't wear a pink princess gown *sniff* So what now?? Nada, zilch, no ideas at all.. I'm petite (just 5 feet) with a slim figure -- any suggestions on what the best style of wedding gown I should wear?
