The bridal shower was organized by my dearest friend and MOH, Kat. We scheduled this after our gown fittings at Ms. Janet Castro's shop in Makati. I really wanted my bridal entourage to get to know one another and to be familiar with each other so they will be comfortable sitting together at the wedding day. God willing, they will all be present also when JP and I celebrate future milestones in our lives.
Kat and I had difficulty planning for the event together, as my Lola was hospitalized for several days after suffering from pneumonia one week before the shower. She did most of the work, choosing the spa services, planning and buying needed materials for the games as well as the prizes and give-aways, preparing the hors d'oeuvres and other necessities. I am so thankful that she found the time & energy to do this for me as I know she is busy with work as well. Thanks, Kat! Love you and thank you for such a memorable gift :)
Venue: The Lemon Tree Inn in QC
Date: Saturday, June 02, 2012
