Arguing About The Wedding Location

I have a confession to make: I wanted a Tagaytay wedding and I was rooting for the fiancé to want it too. He broached the subject of getting married at St. Mary Magdalene Parish Church in Kawit because that was where I grew up and where I was baptized. It also happened to be where his parents got married and the last church his uncle (a parish priest) served in. He was there for 13 years.

So because I was trying to be a nice enough girlfriend, I did a little research about where we might have our reception if we ever get married in Kawit. I found two probable locations, but they both fare too low on my standards. I’ll be discussing the suppliers on a later post.

I mentioned before that we were not open to have any part of our wedding outside Cavite, and that still holds true even if Manila is just about 30 minutes away from Kawit and we can have a reception there. I want a Cavite wedding and spoiled as it may sound, that is exactly what I will have. It’s bad enough that I will almost have all Manila-based suppliers, I couldn’t allow myself to have the reception venue outside my province.

I sometimes think the fiancé is bipolar—one moment he’s rooting for a Kawit wedding then another minute, he’s okay with having it in Tagaytay. I wanted to put my foot down (but we’re not nearly on the verge of deadline, so I was still nice), so I directly told him a wedding is 90 percent the bride’s. Haha!

I don’t know if I have mentioned this before, but the fiancé works in the medical field (he’s a doctor), so schedules can be quite tricky. I suggested to finalize our wedding date and location before July ends, and quickly checked on his schedule on when we can go to Tagaytay and check the venues I bookmarked.
