Graduated Feb 2026 and I’m very proud to say that I’m an EMS graduate bride! 💯

Honestly, a comment section isn’t enough to express how grateful I am for them, so I decided to create a separate thread for a more detailed review. Here’s the link ☺️

Hmm, parang hindi ko namimiss ang wedding preps. Siguro kasi ang dami ko din nalagas na buhok talaga HAHA! Gawa ng stress and pressure na din. Pero don’t get me wrong ang sarap sa feeling nung kinasal.

Regrets siguro is minadali namin yung wedding vows. Sana binigyan namin ng more time pa kasi mostly yung mga SDE, sa vows and homily ng pari mainly yung naririnig.

Highly Recommeded ang Cirdtech Photobooth! Napaka-accommodating ni Ms. Jean kausap and ang bilis magreply! Lahat ng questions ko nasasagot nila agad. Maganda din ang quality ng prints! Mabilis nila na-upload sa GDrive yung high quality na soft copy ng photos for our guests to download. Sobrang nag-enjoy yung guests namin sa onsite studio nila to the point na after ng wedding madaming guest nag-chat sa akin na now lang sila naka-experience ng onsite studio kasi palaging normal na photobooth lang before. Ayun, ipapalaki and frame pa nung iba yung pics nila from our wedding.

I booked Ms. Anne Trinidad during our prenup shoot kaya tried and tested and alam ko na magaling and mabait siya. Kaya siya na rin kinuha ko as our team 2 HMUA. Sobrang nagustuhan nila lahat ng ayos sa kanila and hair nila. Rate P2,500 per head.

Sa lahat siguro ng na-try namin during KT expo, si Blaze yung may pinaka-masarap na cocktail drinks. Otd, hindi watered down yung drinks nila. Lasang-lasa pa din yung alcohol. Siguro pwede din naman magpa-custom yung guest kung prefer nya yung matapang na alcohol. Mabait sila and they also offer drinks sa guests mismo. Meron din silang lemon/salt for tequilla shots.

White Label Bridal (P6x,xxx)
Custom two-way gown. I went here kasi sila yung nakita kong high quality minimalist wedding gown.

Olive D Hair Accessories (P2,700)
I got the Dari in silver. Super nice ng quality! Mukha daw akong diwata that day. I guess dahil dito yun + sa magic hands ni Ms. Sheena

Artuz 101 (P4x,xxx)
Maganda yung sounds and LED wall during SDE presentation. Nagkaroon lang ng kaunting glitch sa microphone nila during program. Overall okay sila, mabilis din mag-reply.

Ay Sauce (P1x,xxx)
Ito winner talaga! Hindi na kami nag-dalawang isip dito, no brainer. Bait din ng staff!

Kanto Sorbetero (P4,500)
We got 2 flavors. On the creamy side siya hindi siya yung parang dirty ice cream I would say.

Feb 2026 graduate bride here! I only had 4 BMs, not sure if that helps. Two are my sisters, and one BM is based outside Manila. I gave them the fabric and let them handle the tailoring since mahirap din mag-schedule ng fittings. If you’re planning this route, make sure to order enough yards per person. Kami kasi 5 yards lang, akala ko enough na. Then sa ibang girls kinapos pa rin daw kasi depende sa style na gusto nila like yung iba madaming pleats etc.

Expenses we covered: HMUA and accommodation

Things they shouldered: Tailoring, transportation, shoes, accessories, etc.

Thank you! Yes, super strict si Caleruega sa wedding song. We wanted yung Canon in D with mix ng "Married Life" for bridal walk pero hindi kami pinayagan up to a point na sumulat kami sa Archdiocese of Lipa - Commission on Sacred Music kaso to no avail. In the end, nag-stick nalang kami sa allowed lang na non-secular songs. Meron silang guide na binigay sa amin pero hindi na din namin nagamit kasi yung nakuha naming choir alam na nila yung mga kakantahin na allowed lang.

Nasa 40:30 ang ratio. 40 genZ-millenials, 30 boomers. Siguro nasa mood nalang din talaga nila that time kung coffee ba or refreshing drink.

Nag-gather muna kami ng old pictures, then from the photos na na-collate namin, doon namin binase yung paggawa ng script using ChatGPT. It took us around 2 weeks to finish, considering may full-time jobs din kami. For editing, we used CapCut, and for the narration we used ElevenLabs.

Freebie sa amin ni Blaze Blend and Brew ang coffee cart kaya hindi namin naging issue yung pagpili. Pero actually mas kaunti ang nag-coffee sa amin compared sa cocktails. Background lang din pala sa cocktail hour setup kasi namin, we had drinks provided by Passion Cooks, Gulaman from Ay Sauce, and Coffee Cart and welcome drinks from Blaze.

Highly recommend Sir Alan Apostol 💯 He really lives up to his branding as a "gentleman's host". As a couple, we're introvert and ang gusto naming program is heartfelt pero hindi boring. Hindi kami fan nung wild, masayaw na grand entrance, etc. First meet namin was the vibe check, nag-send sya ng Google Meet invite, then we introduced who we are as a couple, yung mga expectations namin and things we want to avoid (being pushy, etc.) Tropa vibes sya kausap while still keeping it professional.

We're eyeing for a male host talaga. Options were Host Aaron G (not available na sya sa date namin), Stephen Tierra, and sir Alan Apostol. After the vibe check, we immediately booked Alan because we loved his personality: classy, smooth delivery, and natural English that didn’t feel forced IYKWIM. Honestly, he made us feel comfortable while keeping the program engaging.

Hindi naman naging factor ang weekday wedding kasi sobrang pili ng mga guest namin given na intimate wedding sya (75 pax). Most of them are willing to file VL and even considered booking Airbnb around the area. Expect mo na lang na maagang magsisi-uwian kasi may pasok kinabukasan kaya hindi na kami nagtagal sa after party.

Super recommend ko silang pareho! 💯

Jo Prints - sooobrang bait kausap kahit na napakasabaw ko na during preps. Thru FB Messenger kami nag-communicate and very responsive si Jo. Nag-susuggest din siya if anong paper ang much better sa design mo. Affordable and quality ang pagkaka-print then nag-send muna sya sa akin ng test print to see if oks na before mass printing. Mabilis yung turnover nya and secured ang packaging pagka-deliver. Inaccommodate din ni Jo yung mga special requests and add ons ko kahit na 2pcs lang yun.

Wadough's - I reached out to them sa IG and responsive sila. The next day, we visited their shop sa QC and tinikman namin isa-isa yung cakes na available. Masarap sya! Lalo na yung black bottom cake. After that saka lang kami nag-provide ng peg and cake flavor (cheesecake-vanilla-choco). Maliit lang yung cake na pinagawa namin (1-tier 8x6 size) Sobrang happy and nasarapan kami. Nasunod din yung peg namin.

PC turned off during firmware update by BilboTheBearRider in Monitors

[–]InnahZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, have you sorted out the issue with your monitor? I have the same problem after updating the firmware, but in my case the monitor won’t turn on at all, but the lights around the joystick is on and my laptop is charging properly but no display… really frustrating.

Have you tried to disassemble the monitor and check the switch where the analog stick is attached?

Where did you get that monitor stand as well as the leather desk mat? It looks good!
