We initially had a hard time booking a church that could work with us on our schedule. Dino is in the US and would only go back to the Philippines, 2 weeks before the wedding. Most of the churches i went to would either require that we be interviewed first before we could book the date or we were told upfront na they would require Dino to be in the Philippines earlier for the PreCana and the Cannonical interview. We both had the chance to go to SSJ before he went back to the US last July (a few days after we got engaged) and since that time we were looking at December dates, they had no availability. Then we decided that December was to busy a month and we just have to move the wedding date to January. This worked well because January 6 was available at SSJ. I then asked them about the scheduling of the PreCana and Cannonical and they said for me not to worry about that as they could work that out with me or that we can attend PreCana outside the church. They told me to just take care of our documents with the Chancery. After I went to the Chancery and knew that we could complete all the documents with them, I went to SSJ immediately to pay for our downpayment.
I never had a problem dealing with the people at SSJ office. One time I left an envelope with all our documents on the table and they called me to inform me that the envelope was with them and that I should just get it the next day. Super thankful talaga ako kasi inside the envelope were the requirements for our Marriage License.
After we confirmed Dino's arrival, I scheduled our Cannonical Interview with them and since they had a Pre Cana scheduled on the 3rd of January, we were able to attend that seminar. I submitted our Marriage Lincense, the day before the wedding and no problem din sa kanila yun. What was important daw was that we had a license before the ceremony itself. Father Alan who facilitated our Cannonical Interview was super nice too. Kwentuhan lang the whole time he was interviewing us.
We had the time of our lives taking pictures inside the church during the pictorial since last wedding kami and i think wala din wedding before us. The aircon was cold too.
Things to consider: The church is really nice and photogenic. The only downside is the glass doors, but meron naman curtains. We also upgrade our flowers since we wanted calla lilies. We felt that the flowers included sa package was bitin. We confirmed with the in-house florist our upgrade of flowers December 30 na. And since we were really there for the Cannonical Interview, nakalimutan ko na tumawad. I also made sure that the tulle provided was white and not cream as what we saw he used with other weddings. I also didn't like the wreath's and parol they had by the door. but I can't really do anything about that na since Christmas season pa din naman. Everyone at SSJ is super nice and even after the wedding when i was checking for our marriage contract, even if lagi ako tumatawag, bait pa rin sila sa akin. maybe it's because i give them merienda everytime i go there *wink*.
