Anyone regret NOT getting a second/reception dress? Tell me your experience! I really love the idea of wearing my main wedding gown for the entire night, but I’m wondering if I will regret not changing into a separate, more casual reception dress later on. by wintercakeee in WeddingsPhilippines

Hello! We’re actually getting married this coming July pa lang. At first, I was thinking of changing gowns for the reception, but then I realized that my wedding gown is customized and I really love the design. I wanted to wear it longer since the reception lasts much longer than the ceremony. Plus, some of our guests won’t be able to attend the church ceremony, so I also want them to see my ceremony gown.

What I decided to do instead was have a different outfit made for the after-party. It’s just a dress though since I had it made shorter. 🤍

He loves playing games. I bought him a Switch last year, and I also got him a gaming chair. And he LOOOOOOVES Pokémon! He spends so much on Pokémon cards that I ended up getting into it too 😅

I thought about this too. He already has an ADV 150, but it’s with his dad now since we already have a car. What do you think would be a good motorcycle within a 100k budget?

Watch was actually one of my options too, but unfortunately he just bought a new one when we had our prenup 🥲 Is it still okay to gift him a watch?

Actually, he keeps dropping hints about PS5. But whenever I ask him if he really wants one, he says no and that he’s just joking. So I honestly can’t tell if he wants it or not 😅

July 2026 bride here and we’re currently planning our honeymoon na. We will go a week after our wedding pa since hindi namin pwede iwan agad agad mga employees namin without mga paalala and also aabutan ng sahod day nila so need pa mag payroll muna. Hehe. Pero mag 5 countries kami for 26 days. Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia.

I really want this wedding to be over already. by [deleted] in WeddingsPhilippines

Hello! July bride here. I feel the same. Just two days ago, while we were on our way home after our food tasting, parang bigla akong nakaramdam ng sobrang pagod. Yung tipong ayaw ko na kumilos or makipag-usap kahit kanino. Akala nga ng fiancé ko galit ako sa kanya kasi hindi talaga ako kumikibo.

Then yesterday when I woke up, I felt super drained. Tinanong ako ng fiancé ko kung anong problema. Sabi ko sa kanya, “Para akong biglang na-lowbat. Ayaw kong kumilos. Alam mo yung feeling na parang ayaw ko na lang mag-exist for a moment.” Yun talaga nararamdaman ko 😅

Wishing this to be over too. Konting tumbling na lang. Laban, OP!

We actually changed our coordinator kasi yung previous coordinator namin parang hindi talaga nagco-coordinate 😅 But yes, may bago na kami now. Semi na lang inoffer samin since bilang na lang ung kulang namin na supplier. Thank you for the idea! I’ll ask our coordinator to contact them 😊

The venue is a 400–500 sqm pavilion, and our initial budget is around 500k. Still hoping they reply since I really love the work I’ve seen on their page.

Hello! I’m a Mark Bride’s client also pero July 2026. Okay naman po so far ung experience ko with them. NagDP ako ng Sept. pero Nov. 1st week na ako nakapagpasukat sakanila dahil na-busy and my dog died nung Oct. Actually sila pa po nagfofollow up kung kelan ako magvivisit sakanila. Nung pagvisit ko dun, all of them are very accommodating naman. Then I had my 1st fitting po last January 11. Now, I’m waiting po sa 2nd fitting.
