Wedding date moved to 10.20.12
Last time we went to Caleruega, we also checked possible reception venues inside the vicinity and even the rooms where we could stay on overnight.
Veritas Hall
Rooms
Two months has passed and we still have not decided on the reception venue. Others we've considered: Splendido, Sonya's Garden, Josephine's, Antonio's, Summit Ridge Hotel, other garden type venues. We weren't familiar with the other reception venues in Tagaytay that's near Caleruega.
Richard suggested we just go for Veritas Hall in Caleruega so our guests won't be inconvenienced of travelling from one location to another. Besides, they'll already go out of their way to attend our wedding, so we thought that we don't want them to travel anymore farther. Also, not many people are familiar with Tagaytay area. We risk having our guests arrive late for the reception or really hungry if they get lost. Something we really don't want to happen.
When I called Caleruega to reserve Veritas Hall, I was told that the venue has already been reserved for a school retreat. There's no other option for us but to move our wedding date where both the church and reception venue is still open.
That's when we decided to move our wedding date to October 20, 2012. It's still going to be a Saturday morning wedding. I have also reserved two twin rooms nearest the church. Our plan is to stay in Caleruega the day before the wedding.
Now, we have an extra month to prepare :-)

Our Dream Wedding
Like everyone else, I had my own visions of my ideal wedding. These are basically general ideas, nothing specific. I remember jotting these down in a planner way back in 2010 I think. So here goes...
Date & Time
Richard's Dream Wedding
Key words:
Date & Time
- September 15 (anniversary date)
- Saturday Wedding
- Morning Wedding (9 or 10am)
- Other options: January (our parents' anniversary), December; 4pm Wedding
- Air-conditioned, "maaliwalas" (sorry, could not think of a better term)
- Small venue, fit for intimate gathering
- Small entourage group
- String Quartet and Choir a must
- Ideal if we both personally knew the priest
- Meaningful liturgy
- Somewhat non-traditional program (not too long, not boring/dragging, no dramatic moments)
- Ideal if our host/emcee is a close friend of ours
- Options: Autumn/Fall colors (Orange, Red, Yellow, Brown), Pink and Brown, Peach & Green, Royal Blue/Navy Blue & White
- Key words: Natural and Effortless
- Casual, Relaxed, Laidback
- Light, Easy, Fun
- Hair down, half pony with the rest in wavy curls
- Inspiration: Judy Ann Santos, Kate Middleton
Richard's Dream Wedding
Key words:
- Classic
- Elegant
- Formal
- Traditional
- Intimate, Solemn affair/gathering
- Motif: Gold & White
- Not too grand/elaborate but a wedding that matches/fits our stature
