During the bridal fair last February, Mox and I booked Suarez for our wedding rings. One month later, we received a text that our rings were ready for pickup! It is still more than a year before our wedding, but they already made our rings. In fact, if we pay them in full now, we can already take our rings home! Diba, ang excited lang. Haha!
And so, we went to their branch at Gateway at around 6:00pm to see our rings. Our AE was there and he quickly showed us the finished product.
I love our rings! They are exactly how we envisioned them to be: simple yet elegant. I'm not a fan of diamond-encrusted rings, so a single diamond on each ring is perfect. Also, the rings look so pretty on our fingers! And the most important thing of all, hindi nagmukhang bading si Mox pag suot ang ring. Hahaha!
I was actually feeling nervous at first because I've heard so many horror stories on wedding ring deceptions. Some brides say their wedding rings would have different specs from the mock-ups shown during bridal fairs or from what they originally discussed with their ring suppliers. And if they insist that the original specs must be followed, they could be charged extra for that! Nakakaloka diba? Now I'm no expert in jewelry, so I'm not sure how to tell if I am being conned or not. I just crossed my fingers and hoped that we got the best supplier for us.
Luckily, Suarez didn't fail our expectations. Our wedding rings are perfect! They have slightly rounded edges and fit comfortably on our fingers, just liked what we discussed when we booked them. Also, our rings are slightly heavier than usual, but not so heavy that they would be uncomfortable to wear. Bagay na bagay sa amin talaga.
Since we were already at their office, we paid another P2,000 to lessen our outstanding balance. And because our wedding is still far away, we decided to let Suarez keep them first. We'll probably get them by January next year once we have fully paid for them.
Seeing our rings in person made me realize that this is it, I'm truly getting married! Now I can't wait for that day to come! :)

ReplyDeleteYup, sinukat namin yung rings! :) Saktong-sakto yung fit sa amin at ang sarap isuot! Haha! Halos ayaw ko na ngang hubarin eh. Hehe. :)
DeleteMusta pala yung rings niyo? :)

DeleteWell, nakabook na ako ng gagagawa ng gown ko pero di pa kami nagmemeet ulit. Hehe. Baka sa August ko na lang siya puntahan para magpasukat na hehe. Ikaw? :)
Ayun nga ang wala pa.. Try namin mgpunta this april 27 sa divi to check kung may magustuhan akong rtw since nghihinayang ako pgngpapaquote nung design na gusto ko although mura pa din nman sya compared sa mga nababasa ko na 30k up mga gown nila..hehe!
ReplyDeleteHehe go punta ka! :) Hirap kasi ako sa RTW kasi walang magkasya sa akin eh dahil short and stout ako. Wahaha! :)
DeleteMura rin yung gown ko compared sa iba pero di siya yung dream design ko. Pero mahal kasi yung gusto kong peg so dun na lang ako sa mas mura. Haha.
Mas mura pero mahal pa din..haha:D
ReplyDeleteSana nga may magustuhan akong mga design na rtw kung wala sana makakita ko ng couturier na mura pero pulido nman ung gawa..hehe! Hirap pg limited ang budget..haha:D
Tama! Hehe. Nanghihinayang rin kasi ako na sobrang mahal na gown tapos once lang susuotin. Although kung may budget, why not diba? Haha!
DeleteKailan pala wedding niyo? :)
Korak!:)
DeleteFeb 1, 2014 mejo malapit na..hehe!

Grabe nga kayo mahigit 2 yrs preparation:)
DeleteCake pero hearts & bells na din kami,punta kami sa bridal fair sa may 4 dito sa the fort para may discount..hehe! ano flavor nagustuhan niyo?
Souvenirs nalilito pa ko kung ung cupcakes or photobooth nung gaya sa inyo..sabi tuloy ni fiance inggitera daw ako..haha:D
Haha eh kasi pinamove to 2014 ang wedding, eh dapat sa December 2013 na eh! Naiinip na nga ako eh. Parang sa una lang exciting magprepare pero nung tumagal, parang gusto ko nang matapos ito para makapagpakasal na. Hahaha! Sobrang tagal pala ang two years to the point na nakakainip na talaga. Pero kelangan eh kasi zero savings talaga kami nung nagstart magplan. :P
DeleteFlavor, baka chocolate na lang kasi yun lang gusto kong flavor. Di rin kami particular sa flavor kasi di mahilig si h2b sa cakes. Hehe. Kelangan lang kasi sa cake-cutting ceremony kaya napabili kami ng cake and since H&B pinaka-mura ang quote, go kami dun. Haha!
Okay ang cupcakes! :) At least yun kasi everyone will enjoy. Hehe. Di lang ako nagcupcakes kasi yung dessert buffet namin with Purpledish, puro cakes na eh. Baka marindi na mga guests namin pag ganun. Haha!
Haha!mabilis nalng yan..un nga lang maiinip ka kasi almost booked niyo na lahat ng suppliers..
Deletewala na kayong kulang diba?:)
Meron pa. Hehe. Kulang pa kami ng gagawa ng gowns ng mga mothers saka yung suit ni h2b. Pati pala ang invites. :P
DeletePero other than that wala na... Ay wait, kulang rin pala ang pambayad sa lahat! hahahahaha!
Haha!:D Baka kami bumile nalng ng gowns ng mothers tska barong ni h2b:)
DeleteMg change outfit ka pa ba sa reception?:)
Ay naku wala na... Haha! Sayang naman ang pagkamahal-mahal na gown ko kung saglit ko lang susuotin. :P Pero balak ko kasi, long sleeves ako pag church tapos tanggalin ang sleeves pagdating sa reception. Para at least magka-second look man lang. Sabi naman ng mananahi, kaya naman daw. :)
DeleteTama ka jan..hehe!
DeleteThanks a lot nat for your replies & also to your blog I get a lot of ideas!:)
Hi! madalas akong napapadaan sa blog mo since nagplaplan na kami ng gf ko magpakasal for 2014. just wanna ask how much you got your rings? We might drop by din sa wedding fair on May4-5. ^_^
ReplyDeleteHi Alden! :) Thanks for dropping by! :)
DeleteFor our rings, its original price sa bridal fair is 21,000 for the pair na. With free 0.02 carat diamond na siya on each ring. But since may konting customizations kami, naging 26,300 siya. Still relatively affordable compared sa iba. Hahaha
