TRANSFIGURATION CHAPEL, CALERUEGA

We had our first glimpse of Caleruega on one of our many Tagaytay weekend getaways ... and ended up booking the church right then and there ... more than two years before our wedding (yup, crush mo pa lang sya, mgpa-book ka na ... it's THAT popular!) :-)

So why did we choose this remote chapel - with all the logistics, cost and weather issues looming over our nuptial horizon? The moment we entered the quaintly picturesque church, we felt the same punch in the gut you feel when you've had an epiphany. Peaceful, solemn, and poignantly beautiful, the ambiance fit perfectly with the small, intimate wedding we had envisioned.


From a klutzy bride2be's point-of-view, the short aisle is perfect for precluding cliche'd bridal walk jitters ... (though the rolling and hilly landscape might cause other disasters of the Jack-n-Jill type ...)


If you're a "camera-hog/model-wannabe" bride, every nook and cranny of the entire compound is a photo-op in itself ... (just ensure enough eggs have been offered as insurance for divine intervention on the fickle Tagaytay weather)


For the grooms - well, let's just say, the smile on your lovely bride's face as she walks down that pretty aisle overweighs the minor hassles and extra funding you'll have to cough up :-)
