It's been a long-time tradition for our church to spend the Holy Week together in an annual church camp.

As I have said in a previous post, finding the venue is one of the first steps in wedding planning. Almost everything will adjust according to your chosen venue. DO NOT PLAN ANYTHING ELSE unless the venue is FINAL! We already set our sights on another venue, but it was just too pricey! The Search (READ HERE) And to give you an idea of how overwhelming married life can be - not to discourage you, of course. Our Epic Wedding Review : Introduction In the attempt to sway me to practicality, my hubby and mother-in-law brought me to IMP Sea Breeze Resort in Taguig City . I've only known the resort from some friends (mostly teachers and students who went there for outings) . I never knew it as an events place so I googled the place plus the word "wedding." The results showed several videos of a wedding which did nothing to convince me yet.

The Tradition Pamamanhikan is a Filipino pre-wedding tradition dating from Spanish colonial times, if I'm not mistaken. In this tradition, the groom with his parents visit the bride's house and formally request her hand in marriage. The word "pamamanhikan" originated from the root word "panik" meaning "to go up the stairs." Carpio Ancestral House in Sta. Rita, Pampanga Image Credits to Wikimedia Commons During those times, the living spaces were placed on the second floor of the house while the ground floor serves as storage area.

We decided to FINALLY use our voucher to avail of the free accommodation in Astoria Plaza in Ortigas.

The celebrator needs to know the final count of guests so he can inform the management of the venue, set seating arrangements, and inform the caterer. Is it necessary for a guest to provide more details than the response itself? Usually, t
