Just a little cheer up post...
Today is Maya and Sir Chief's wedding!
I saw the teaser yesterday and thought the church looks kinda familiar. But now, it's confirmed. Based on this article, the much awaited wedding will be held in Basilica de Taal!

Incidentally, we were able to visit this church earlier this month. Batangas is his mother's home town, but Rye didn't know that this heritage town is just a few kilometers away. His parents were actually married in this church! Haha.

For just P50.00 you can visit the museum upstairs and the bell tower. It was tiring going up the bell tower but the sight is all worth it. We actually went back the next day and dragged Rye's cousins with us.

After more picture taking at the church, we headed to Galleria Taal, a camera museum. And that will be my next post! :)
