Old friend and weddings

Hello. Need some outside perspective kasi hindi ko na alam kung ano yung tamang gawin.

May friend ako from a previous workplace na dati super close kami. Part siya ng close friend group namin, and during a really difficult breakup, isa siya sa mga naging main source of comfort ko. So at one point, genuinely important siya sa akin.

Eventually, nag-start akong ma-bother sa way niya mag-joke. Sanay naman kami sa asaran sa group, pero parang dumating sa point na hindi na siya funny for me. Lalo na nung nagkaroon ako ng new relationship, mas naging frequent yung comments niya about my relationship and sex life. I know baka joke lang for her, pero eventually napikon talaga ako and I started distancing myself instead of confronting her about it.

We’re not exactly on bad terms. Okay pa rin naman ako sa ibang friends namin, pero kami hindi na talaga nag-uusap. It’s been around a year.

Recently, we both got engaged around the same period. After I announced my engagement, she left our old group chat. I honestly don’t know why she left or if it had anything to do with me, so ayoko rin mag-assume.

Now I’m planning my wedding, and I’m torn kung i-invite ko ba siya or not.

One of my closest friends, who is also part of my wedding entourage, thinks I should invite her. Sabi niya baka naghihintay lang daw siya na ako yung mag-approach first.

Pero honestly, nalilito ako doon. It’s been a year, and neither of us has reached out. Ang awkward naman biglang mag-message ngayon, especially since I don’t feel like ako naman yung may ginawang major wrong thing.

At the same time, part of me misses the friendship we used to have. Pero knowing her personality and how things were before, may fear din ako na baka if I invite her, puro comments/asaran lang ulit siya during the wedding. And honestly, ayoko nang isipin kung may sasabihin ba siya about me, my relationship, or anything else on what is supposed to be a really important day for me.

Would you guys reach out first and try to repair the friendship before deciding whether to invite her? Or would you just leave things as they are and not invite her?

Curious din ako if anyone has experienced a friendship fading because one person started feeling uncomfortable with the other’s jokes/asaran. What did you do?

HMUA RECO

hello! baka may masuggest po kayo na affordable HMUA near/around Mandaluyong City.

intimate church wedding lang naman po with 30-35 pax. unang gusto ko po sana si Ms. China Suacillo kaso booked na sya sa wedding date namin.

thoughts po sana on Beyoutiful Makeup by Niks? meron din pong make up artist that lives on the same condo as mine, si Ms. Louise Florabel / By Flora Bela.

and since intimate church wedding lang naman sya and we won't be doing yung prep shoot, possible ba yung wala na yung prep, ceremony, and reception look? retouch retouch and change hair na lang sana sa reception.

would appreciate your thoughts and suggestions. thank you!

distance from ceremony to reception

hello, graduate brides, b2bs, and guests! what are your thoughts if you are a guest sa wedding na nasa mandaluyong city (addition hills) ang church and ang reception ay sa tomas morato? the wedding will be on december and 2:30 pm ang ceremony that will run for 1 and a half hour, so more or less 5 pm ang reception.

most of our guests will be from valenzuela, bulacan, and manila. most of them also has their own cars. intimate church wedding lang with 30-40 pax.

we are torn kasi between lola cafe (tomas morato and podium branch since fully booked si mabini on our wedding date - worry with the podium branch is nasa mall sya) and francesco's (san juan).

December 2026 Wedding

Hello, me and my bf got engaged this month and we were immediately set on having an early December 2026 wedding. Plan na namin to have a civil intimate wedding with 40 pax in a same ceremony and reception venue (target venue is Lola Cafe Tomas Morato - would love to know your thoughts as well).

I have an ongoing visa application as a USRN and want ko talaga na makasabay na sya sa visa application process ko para makasama ko sya sa pag-alis ng bansa.

Pero nakakastress pala magplan huhu. Are we going too fast?

Send advices and tips, please. Thank you so much 🤍
