It is Saturday, around 2pm, Maine and Richard are discussing the details of their wedding via Facetime...

M: Ninangs ko sila Ninang Helen, Tita Melinda, Tita Tina...Ninong?

R: Siyempre ang mga idol ko sa Cruise - Kuya Jose, Tito Joey at Tito Marvic...

M: Okay kasi by default Ninong na din natin si Ninong Vicente...anyway later n yung ibang details...I need Something Old, Something New...

R: Ako na bahala sa Something New...si Tita Margo daw sa Something Old...

M: Hala nag u usap na naman kayo ha! But I love it....anong something new ko??? Sabihin mo na...

R: Nope...mkukuha mo yun s wedding day...

M: iiiiieeeeeee tagal pa....

R: Naiinip ka na din ba?

M: Oo...slight....uyyy thank you sa pag support sa idea ko for the invitation!

M: Maliit n bagay! Anyway matulog ka na lagpas 12 midnight n dyan! Love you...see you next week!

R: Yes Honey...I can't wait to see you.

Richard smiles as Maine blew him a kiss, he took a small box and opened it - a silver bracelet with a heart and diamonds all over it...something new for Maine...

Tita Margo called for Maine and they went up to the Attic...

M: Ay ano ito Tita Margo? Magliligpit tayo???

TM: Hindi...wait here...

Tita Margo opened a drawer and is now carrying a white box...

TM: Okay Maine, anak, as you know, ako ang Maid of Honor ng Mommy mo. It was the early 90s so medyo off n ang style ng gown nya...and besides I am sure n gusto nya brand new ang wedding gown mo...but she wants you to have this...

M: Hala....

Tita Margo opened a white box with a set of tiara, big earrings and a wedding garter with Swarovski crystals and white and blush satin and lace.

TM: Well, medyo fancy ang tiara and it's not your style, but can you use the Garter? Something Old...

M: Oh my....I would love to...ang ganda!!!

TM: Akina, hand wash ko na lang...

M: Ako na po...

TM: No Maine...ako na.

M: Okay po...thank you Tita Margo...I love you po.

The next day, Tita Margo and Maine visited Rosa Clara Bridal Shop. Maine is familiar with this since this is where Tita Margo took her and bought her white dress for her Prom. The Designer and Owner Barbara is also a family friend.

B: Margo!!!! I keep praying na dito kayo pumunta for Maine's wedding gown..

TM: But ofcourse Amiga...I insisted n ako ang bibili ng wedding gown ng anak ko!

B: Maine!!! Margo, I still remember the little girl n ginawan ko ng Flower Girl gown! You know what, look around muna Maine and later I will show my other designs...

M: Thanks po...Tita Margo halika dito help me pick a dress...

B: Yes...that's the little girl I know...

In less than an hour, Maine was not able to pick a dress but she has an idea what she wants. It was then that Ms. Barbara invited her and Tita Margo for a High Afternoon Tea. She showed Maine and Tita Margo her black book - as Maien turns to page seven, she decides that she must wear THAT gown.

B: I knew you would love that gown...timing din natapos ko ang sketch nyan on the day that your wedding announcement was released.

TM: I love it Maine....this gown is so you....

B: Alright give me two - three weeks...and as much as I wanna meet the Groom, Amiga, you know this, I am very traditional...

TM:Yes...the Groom cannot see the Bride's gown..

M: Yes po...surprise ko po yan sa Groom ko.

And they talk some more about the details of her wedding and shared stories about Maine's Mom.

Maine smiles as she drinks her TWG Tea and eats a macaron, she sent a message to Richard...

"I have a wedding dress na...you will see it on our wedding day... 💋"
