December 2011 when we started looking for churches. Our first choice talaga is San Sebastian. I've never been there before pero I fell inlove with it kahit sa pictures lang. Si Kim naman had been there once and he said nga na super ganda ng church na yun. Well, I felt relieved din at least we had the same choice. When he informed his dad about our plan to get San Sebastian, he didn't agree because of the traffic in that area. 4pm kasi ang start and medyo panget na ang flow ng traffic sa oras na yun. Nasad talaga ko pero we still searched for another church na more proximate sa venue.
We thought of Manila Cathedral. We went there personally for their requirements. STRICT KUNG STRICT. And daming Do's and Dont's. Before ka pa makapagpareserve ng date, you need to attend their policy seminar. So we were scheduled on a Saturday at 9am. Came Saturday, 8:30am nasa Park and Ride pa lang ako waiting for hubby. Nagmamadali na kami dahil baka hindi na umabot. Worst, I couldn't move from where I was standing dahil naputol ang strap ng sandals ko! 8:45am, hubby came na and we bought pa slippers at 711. No choice na talaga kami kaysa magyapak lang ako. Pang lalaki pa design and size. :D Past 9am, nasa sidecar palang kami. When we arrived at Manila Cathedral, sorry, hindi na kami pwedeng humabol. Re-schedule na lang the following week if we want to. Pero nooo. We have to book a church na that day and the venue as well. Feeling kasi namin, every day that passes, may nakukuhang weekend slot so nagmamadali kami.
2nd stop, we went to Malate Church to inquire. Around 10k ang rate that time I think. Inclusive na lahat. May wedding din that time so we took a sneak peak on the event happening. Parang I couldn't imagine myself walking on its aisle. It wasn't my dream church. :( Ayoko. So we thought of another church.
Next stop, Shrine of Jesus beside SMX. Proximity to Palacio de Maynila--Check! There was also a wedding happening that time when we had our occular. Bakit parang ang iksi masyado ng aisle? And their speakers, sobrang lakas at meron sa labas? So everyone hears your vows na parang di na intimate and private yung dating para sakin. We were losing hope on finding the right church. I felt bad na rin for letting go of Manila Cathedral dahil nafeel ko na siya. So Kim called up his dad. I was praying talaga when he was talking to him na sana pumayag na sa San Sebastian. After his call, we went to San Sebastian and booked Nov 24! :)
Later I found out that turning down Manila Cathedral was really a blessing. All their scheduled weddings from I think March 2012 up got cancelled because they had to renovate the church ASAP.
