Finally... A YES from my H2B! :D

For weeks now, I've been undecided whether we need a coordinator for the wedding or not. I have asked Ron about this since the beginning, and he was firm that we do not need one and that we can handle all the details needed. Given his answer, I asked the other person, whose opinions I value the most - My Mom, and her immediate response was nothing far from Ron's. Defeated, I gave up my battle and settled for a no-coordinator wedding.

But knowing the slightly control-freak that I am, I knew I wouldn't settle with their answers. So I researched a bit, and came to a conclusion that it will be a lot easier to hire an On-The-Day Coordinator than to have our families and friends slaved off for our wedding. With this argument, Ron was still firm on his decisions, or so he thought!

A few weeks ago, we attended a wedding. It was a small and private wedding. They had no coordinators, but the program went well. I knew this was a time to point out things that I wanted for our own wedding, but not at the expense of the newly weds - so I knew I had to be sensitive, and strategic as well.

At last! I found my sensitive and strategic move when we saw a couple of our friends, who are invited as guests to the event. They acted as the "bouncers" and was sitting at the entrance of the reception area, and was not able to watch or enjoy the program. I was about to point it out when Ron brought it up before me saying, "Tingnan mo, mas gusto ko yung guests natin na guests talaga para mag-enjoy sa wedding natin. (Look, I prefer our guests to be treated as guests to enjoy our wedding as well)". That's when I saw my rainbow! Haha! I immediately jumped into it and brought up the coordinator topic. He was quiet and did not say much except for a "We'll see.".

So, I played my strategies and asked around for coordinator rates and details. Until I was able to collect packages and rates from various OTD suppliers. I was able to narrow it down to two before I showed it to Ron - which by the way, he had no idea that I was already arranging meet-ups with. Sneaky, I know, but what the heck - it's for our wedding! Haha! :))

So earlier today, we had our meeting with one of the OTD I have chosen. Meeting Cha and Abby of KTG Events was so much fun and not a dull moment with these ladies. They were detailed as well when they asked us about our wedding details, and they were very supportive with the ones we have no idea yet, or are still looking for. Take note, we haven't booked them yet, and still they were helping us out already! :) Also, I felt really comfortable with them, and that was #1 on my list for our OTD. So with all the chit-chat going on, I knew I found our OTD, and I can tell that Ron was comfortable with them as well.

But because Ron and I agreed to meet the two OTD first before booking anyone, I knew I had to do something. I typed "Bee, book na natin sila. Pleassse :D! (Bee, let's book them already. Pleassse :D!)" on my phone and showed it to him under the table. He then teased me about it right in front of the two ladies. Telling them of our little arrangement prior to the meeting, and I knew right then and there was my magical moment. As the title says, FINALLY! A YES FROM H2B! :D Hahaha! He agreed to hire them, and we paid the initial deposit as well. Finally, we have KTG as our OTD, and that means one less stress on our wedding day.

Second Supplier Booked: KTG Events

PS: Sorry, as we have no pictures of the ladies.

Happy Bride-to-be,
