By The Numbers

To be honest, if I could just have my immediate family and a few well-chosen friends to my wedding, I would be the happiest bride in the world. In my head, it will be a lovely, tasteful, very elegant, sit-down dinner with the people closest to my heart. But that's me being selfish.

As Jotham and I have agreed, this wedding ceremony won't be for ourselves, but for the Lord and for our parents. That being said, we will consider all those who we want to minister to with our little wedding ceremony. Plus, we'll take into account the suggestions of our parents of  who to invite.

We'll just allocate the budget to accommodate additional guests, and scrimp on the other details that we can do ourselves.

In this regard, I feel the Lord's blessings and provision so immensely.

To date, a friend has already agreed to do my make-up for free! Plus, we're holding the wedding at a friend's garden venue in Tagaytay. Food is being catered by another church friend. The program will be run by teacher friends from Reedley who are experts at events management, with all the proms, reading of honors, graduation, and parties we've held.

And just tonight, my friend Clarise who does such lovely watercolor paintings has agreed to do our table numbers. She sent over these lovely pegs from Pinterest, and I am so happy at the idea that my wedding will have something like these.

Our small, intimate, vintage-y wedding is slowly, but surely falling into place. Thank you God.
