Our Official Wedding Church "Manila Cathedral"



Why we choose Manila Cathedral?





Sometime in 2001 after Uno proposed, we attended a wedding in San Agustin, its a night wedding ,i was mesmerized with the whole ceremony ...the church is perfect.. the lights are enchanting everything is so beautiful (but that's during that time). But now its different, the walls are fading parang napabayaan na ang simbahan or might be di lang nalinis. I said to myself this is not the church that i want , it looks different prang naging ordinary church na lang sya na naluma na lang ng ganun ganun.

I love it... d2 ako rarampa ng BONGGAH!
so NEAT!loveeleeeh!


Uno saw how impressed i am and said "Han dito kita pakakasalan" naks! So sa 9yrs nming engaged we thought of marrying in San Agustin.

In 2006 we went to Intramuros, di ko lang sure kung bakit kami andun pero that's the time na na-apreciate ko ng bonggah ang Cathedral. It was dark inside,mdyo gloomy (hapon na ba yun?) there are people praying , some are loitering some are not, Pero still i find the church very Beautiful, it was like dejavu...(u know whatta i mean).. galing na ba ako ditey? (nag aala maruja pa daw ako hahahah)parang MAGIC.... ewan ko pero we have something dibah na nafefeel .... prang ang hirap idescribe pro u knew from the start na heto na talaga yun.... So from then on kasama na sa lists ko ng possibleng church venue ang Cathedral!


"the zupeer winner na aisle"
100 or 120 steps?


1st Sunday of September together with ate shiela, Batel (youngest sis ng pogi ko) and Mama Judith , naks full forced! We visited Intramuros, main purpose is to look for our wedding church and venue reception......Napaka humid ng weather that time pro we did enjoyed the ocular tour. Im not into historic kemeru pero the old walls , capiz windows, stoned walkways always mesmerized me... (very medieval.... very goddesses era)chos! 1st stop Manila Cathedral, we saw how beautiful the church was lalo na when all the lights are open, (since BER months na mas mabilis dumilim so mga 5:15pm pa lang u see how the chandelier lights compliments the old cieling, not so old pla kse it looks so clean prang nirepaint na) ang gandah pra kang asa ibang dimension....Hay wla na atang mas E-ENCHANTING (word for today: ENCHANTING) pa sa view ng church mapaloob at labas ng Cathedral! haylabeeeeeeeet!...


Manila Cathedral at NIGHT!
Enchanting so DIVAH!


Oops i forgot to mentioned during our ocular, me kasal sa Cathedral, feeling ko sinadya ni LORD na maka witnessed kmi ng wedding na bonggah .... (winner tlagah!) So yun habang busy kmi nag uusyoso sa kinakasal, The GROOM whispered " Han gsto mo na ba dito tayo magpakasal? (wlang atubili) i said YES han, gusto ko dito, naimagine ko tuloy ang sarili ko na naglalakad sa red carpet wid all the white calla lilies sa aisle....panalopi! OK hanie ure wish is my command sabi ng Papa Un's,nxt weekend balik tyo so we can make reservations. After a week we went back to Cathedral & attended the seminar & accomplished the DP! ( di nman ora-orada dvah hahahahah!).


heads up:

FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO TIE THE KNOT in CATHEDRAL
* cathedral requires early reservation
* seminar for about to wed couples is required
* reservation fee is 8k
* non-aircon costs 18k
* additional 1k for electricity fee (video/lights)

Pero i heard nag increase na ng fee for 2009? Not sure how much pro TRUE na nagtaas nga sila. After our Canonical last Feb'09 we decided na to pay the Balance, we booked kse Sep'08, So since andun na din lang kami edi sinettle na namin para mabawasan ang mga bayarin and yun nga the Secretary mistakenly provided us with a wrong balance, she thought kasama na kami sa increase (thank GOD hndi) - (one of the so many perks couple's will enjoy if they book their suppliers early.) sa aircon set up its expensive .30k na atah? kaya nga nung inoffer sakin ni Uno, i said NO, ok na tong hndi aircon.hindi nman na mainit ang september and besides 6pm wedding namin so BIG NO no sa aircrush! sayang ang budgey.....(naks natututo nko infairness mag manage ng datung winner)

hi! i'm also getting married at the cathedral on a sunday (6pm, too!)... i'm quite iffy about the time since it's a community mass slot. would you know if there are a lot of people going to mass there during at that time slot?
