Regarding sa candles, in not sure if you have the what we called UNITY CANDLE (Mother Candle), but in case, just prepare one. If you have some questions, just let me know how can be of help. To be practical, I was the one who coordinated my own wedding, since it's a one year preparation. But if you are lacking time of let should say, limited time in preparations or if you want some help, just contact me and I'll share some inputs. When is the wedding? If you haven't finalize everything and you are still seeking or canvassing for your wedding needs, then I can extend my help. Just contact me at: jerna_jalbuena@yahoo.com, or, 0927-203-9582. Best wishes and goodluck, JING

It's totally normal. Get tied up doing what you need to do for the wedding or getting things for the home. Keep busy that will help. Anything to do that keeps you busy will help. Treat yourself, go get your hair done or nails done. Congratulations, much happiness and luck is wished for you two. Welcome to the lot.

Don't sweat.. it's normal to be a bundle before getting married. Thing is, on the day itself, you wont even remember anything or if you do, it'll pass by like a breeze. You'll feel like you're floating. Chances are, you wont even remember some of your guests. LOL! Congratulations and I hope everything goes great!

Just have peace of mind and as much as possible do not stress yourself, both of you. I got married last december 2008 - it is a one year planning. It would be easy and hassle-free if you're preparing ahead of time. I suggest you both handle the preparations.

i will get married this year, maybe this Oct,not make a certain date yet. i am also very worried,i always think,if i am married, i will not like a free girl any more,i will take more responsibility for the family.And will i spend less time on my friends?Will it be difficult for a married woman to find a new job. such like these, i am afraid of marriage. Anyway,we should over come these problems and Best Regards to kiaza.
