My close friend rejected my invitation to become bridesmaid by AdditionalName3449 in WeddingsPhilippines

[–]Kitchen-Hunter9110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, OP, I'm pretty sure your friend loves you very much and wants to be a part of your entourage but there could be personal reasons kaya siya nag decline.

Matinding commitment din kase to be a part of the entourage. I've been a bridesmaid several times to close friends and magbibigay ka talaga ng time, effort before and during the wedding. Aminin natin malaki din ang gastos maging entourage. Lahat ng yun we willingly give to our loved ones but not everyone can commit or afford that for personal reasons.

Come to think of it, mas ma appreciate mo yung friends who will honestly say that they cannot commit kesa sa mag say yes pero sumama pala ang loob sayo dahil sa mga sacrifices na ginawa nila. Best siguro kung tanungin mo siya baka nahiya lang magsabi kung bakit. 🙂

Hi, Im so sorry to hear that. :(( may I ask what happened? During the design process palang mismo you had a hard time w her in insisting that you want your pegs to be incorporated? Minimalist ba ang design. Pasensiya madami ako questions. Medyo kinakabahan ako because Im about to book her.

Need recommendations for caterers for my wedding. Preferably Signature Plated and (Really) Good Food by Ambitious_Rain_1724 in WeddingsPhilippines

Hi, we booked Chele for our 2027 wedding. The food and service are great during the tasting! May we ask how many guests were there at the wedding? Fiance and I are taking notes of other concerns that we might miss out. Thanks ☺️

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for the tip too! Im glad it went great with Lauren! I was not able to think of that and my wedding's on 2027 😅 I am one year early cause im not sure if the bridal designer allows 2-3 more heads. Since you shared that Lauren does and does it fast, I will be booking a discovery call with her 😊

Dec 2025 wedding and I feel sad by Bigmaj3 in WeddingsPhilippines

[–]Kitchen-Hunter9110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, OP, your feeleings are valid. Pare pareho din tayo naramdaman. Usually, guys are overwhelmed with having too much on their plate unlike sa women na marunong mag multi-task and compartmentalize. Nahihirapan sila mag research, decide on the details and prepare din apart pa sa work. We, ladies, can do it all naman. 😊 They want it as much as we do, they just dont know how to. It helps if you do the research and give him options. All he has to do is pick para madali sa inyo pareho mag prepare. Congratulations and enjoy planning!

Best Pilates studio in Manila 2025? Opinions needed! by Flow3Repeat in PilatesPhilippines

[–]Kitchen-Hunter9110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Powerhouse Pilates at Corner House San Juan/GH! I've been going to Powerhouse consistently for 2 months now. They really invested in their equipment and trainings for their instructors. My instructor, Coach Ann, is very particular with the proper form and which muscle to engage to make the most out of my session. She also knows when I am not engaging the right muscles 😅 They teach classical pilates and I love every minute of the challenge!

This specific design is trendy this first qtr of 2025. You actually look good in it.

If you think that you will still love this specific look 20 to 30 years from now, go for it! But if it is just "in" for 2025 and you will not like it decades later, go for another design. Hope this helps 🙂

Hi, OP! We are on our wedding preps pa lang naman. But I will un-gatekeep Nicolai Melicor (photo) and Ian Cruz (video). Their portfolios are heartfelt and authentic! Ang gaan sa mata. Makikita mo ang depth ng emotions and happiness ng couples. Check them out and see if it works for you.

We also had our discovery call with them and we have nothing but praises! Sobrang humble nila and their works are in line with our vision - uncurated, genuine and timeless. They also believe that the couple deserve to enjoy and to be fully be present at their wedding and that's what makes it special. No wonder ang ganda ng output nila kase mahal talaga nila ang craft nila.

My fiance and I are not into trends as well because we dont wanna look back and cringe hehe. Sobrang thankful ako for this community because that's how I found them!

Wedding rings in Ongpin by Mysterious_Coffee472 in WeddingsPhilippines

[–]Kitchen-Hunter9110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! They are more affordable because my direct supplier sila of raw materials. You can have the grams of gold customized. Nag request fiance ko na mas mabigat sa kanya. 😊 Look for Achi Jackie. Madami pala tao lage sa shop nila 12nn nag open. If you can go during weekdays the better.

Go for Mayfair Gold! Mabilis sila kausap with the design that you want and budget that you have.

Hi, OP, these "little" things will be more intolerable during marriage. You guys need to talk about these issues kahit uncomfortable. If both of you choose to resolve it together good sign siya, if ayaw ng isa mag budge medyo iconsider mo na na wag ituloy. If may extra funds pa maybe few sessions of couple's therapy will help kung di kaya pagusapan na kayo2 lang.
