December 21, 2013, the day me and my gorgeous wife had been waiting for. After all the stressful nights of preparation, we were finally facing the altar to show our commitment and love to each other. Just like any other lovers, this day is supposed to be the most memorable day in your whole life, and the day you are feeling all the excitement in the world. Your heart is filled with happiness but as of the same time you still feel your blood rushing fast into your head because you are yet to find out the final outcome of your most special day.

Our wedding should have started at 3p.m, followed by a photobooth session at 430p.m, and the wedding program at 530p.m. Our wedding ceremony was held in Our Victory Chapel in Potrero, Malabon and the reception was at Victoria Place, just a few steps away from the church, catered by Balanlay Catering Services(www.balanlaycatering.com). We were expecting 100 guests. And we expected that everything will turn smooth too. Unfortunately, ours didn't happen that way. It turned out to be a wedding disaster.

At the hotel, I was already uncomfortable and a bit worried on what will happen at the wedding ceremony. I kept on calling my coordinator and asked him if the reception area was already set. Of course, even at the very last few minutes I was also calling my wedding entourage if they can make it on time. I was really uneasy of the situation because it was Saturday and also it was Christmas season. Heavy traffic would be a challenge to all my visitors, in addition to dark skies which at any moment it would just pour instantly.

So at exactly 1:30p.m I asked my entourage to proceed directly to the Church to avoid delays. We got their around 2p.m. I immediately checked the set up of the reception area. Right on the spot, I noticed a very big problem. Things were not set up the way it supposed to be done. Victoria Place has two halls you can choose from, the first one can accommodate 100 heads and the other for 150 pax. WE RENTED BOTH.

The contract agreement with the caterer secretary (Dang) was to set up the main building which can accommodate 150 people. But instead of doing that, they did the other way around. They set up the other hall which can only accommodate 100 people!!! Just try to imagine my feeling that very moment. I was totally frustrated and ready to explode!!!
