Finally, we were able to make a reservation
with our church! I’m so giddy and happy writing this post for we have been
waiting to accomplish this ever since we started our preps. We are officially a
SAC couple --
San Agustin Church that is.
Some Church Facts
[Source: Wikipedia ] - It is the oldest church still standing in the Philippines; no other surviving building in the Philippines has been claimed to pre-date San Agustin Church.
- In 1993, San Agustin Church was one of four Philippine churches constructed during the Spanish colonial period to be designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, under the collective title Baroque Churches of the Philippines.
- It was named a National Historical Landmark by the Philippine government in 1976.
June is the month that we’ve been waiting for because according to our
previous inquiries with SAC, this is the month that they’ll complete their 2014
logbook and accept reservations. Being too preoccupied with work the past weeks hindered me from inquiring on June 1 on the dot. It is only last Thursday that I had some spare time so I grabbed the chance and called the
reservation office right away to confirm if the moment we’ve been waiting for has come. During
my call, I heard what I wanted to hear and with my delight, I totally forgot to
check if our date is still available. I just realized my booboo when Adrin
asked me about it. Haha. So right that moment, before I headed to my afternoon
meeting, I tasked him to call again and check for our date. I know, I know… the
odds are slim that our date is already fully booked this early, but I still
wanted to be sure.
We went to the church earlier today, finally saw the most-awaited
logbook, and made our reservation. The 3PM slot was already booked since last week. This is okay since we are targeting the slot right before the scheduled daily mass which is at 5:30PM. And so, our reservation is at 4PM.

After completing the reservation at the office, we went outside and lingered for a bit to watch a bride walk down the aisle and to take some pictures.
