As our excitement of coming home in the Philippines arises, the height of the stress we had with our entourage also went up. Two weeks prior to our flight to Manila, one of Noel's groomsmen advised that he won't be able to make it to our wedding.. Good thing is that the invites wasn't printed yet when he informed us.
Alas, we thought the dilemma is over and so we proceeded with the printing of our invites. But then October 27, which is also the day of my first gown fitting and supposedly second gown fitting for my entourage.. My supposedly Maid of Honor and Veil Sponsor didn't show up for their gown fitting. I didn't worry at first because I thought maybe they're busy with their schedules. Anyhow it's still three weeks before the wedding so we can still adjust the dresses for them.
Bu then.. when I checked my Facebook account that night, messages of apologies was there informing me that two of the girls won't be able to make it on my wedding day!
One year of preparation, one year notice, one year of emails and calls, one year of checking out the dresses and trying them on! All gone and vanished.. Noel & I were heartbroken.. Most especially me.. (-_-)

As it turned out we were only able to distribute wedding invites 5 days prior our wedding day. Waste of time and waste of money.. But at least Noel & I became stronger because of this trial.
We selected the set of our entourage by their roles and importance in our lives. But then, you can't really be sure because just when you needed them most that's when they will decide to turn their backs on you.
Nevertheless, no hard feelings on our side. Noel & I always believe that "All things work together for good to those who love God." - Romans 8:28
