The Church
Virgen De Los Remedios Chapel Repository (Chancery) San Jose, San Fernando, Pampanga
When I was in highschool, I used go to the San Fernando Metropolitan Cathedral after school. I knew I have found my haven in God's house where I always feel peace and comfort whenever I visit the church. I have asked a lot of favors and asked more forgiveness to Our Lady of the Assumption who is the secondary patron saint of the church. I consider myself blessed the fact that almost all my prayers and hopeful wishes had come true. I then told myself that one day, I will walk that isle when the right time and right man comes. That church was our first option. We have consulted a couple of photographers & planners who had worked on some weddings held in the church and it came to light that due to the busy location of the church and the granduousity of it (that we may not be able to garb it enough), we decided to find another haven to hold our special event. It was meant that our union be blessed in the simple and serene chapel of Virgen De Los Remedios. It was a 'this is it!". The chapel was average in size, newly built, has an elegant facade, spacious parking, well ventilated and just half an hour to our reception. To officiate the wedding, we requested a family close priest, Fr. Aristotle Maniago.

The Reception
Dizon Estate Clubhouse (Phase I), San Agustin San Fernando, Pampanga
I always love garden / outside weddings - the fresh air, nice ambience, open space, close to nature. Kids will not be bored as they can roam around, guests can relax after meal, and its January so the air will be cool and a little chilly. We chose this venue because of the single space that houses the guests, the mini garden, the convenient location and privacy.
