Family

It's been such great help to have family around in Manila to help with the wedding. From conversations through email and chat with folks preparing for their own wedding from abroad, the trouble and hassle of trying to coordinate things without someone really reliable is very frustrating. I can only imagine.

While it does get frustrating when I don't hear from my mom and sister after a meeting or get feedback when I send an email, I know I can count on hearing from them soon. At the very least I would get a text message telling me they'll be calling or they sent me email. I call if I have a question, problem or issue about something and they can take care of it for me - which is great. There is still the feeling of helplessness though especially when meetings are being held between them and important suppliers and you're not there - but then I trust their judgements on most of the things and know that they know me enough to say no to something I wouldn't want.

I am grateful for them, and really want them to know that. So, thanks guys. :)
