[ChixC18]

^Oo nga sis mejo malayo but I have to agree with you na maganda nga garden nila.. kung hindi lang namin cinonisder yung with Taal view baka don din reception namin haha! Saka isa pa sa cinonsider kasi namin is yung may pavilion ayaw kasi namin mag rent ng tent dahil sa extra cost pa. LOL. The Lake Hotel, hmm.. cinonsider din pala namin yan sis pero ewan ko na anong nangyare parang hindi ata like ni h2b yung room? Sa dami naming napuntahang hotels sis di ko na maalala. Haha! Oo sa Taal Vista ang strict pati sa number of rooms sis min of 10. Grabe sila! Hehe. Escala Tagaytay sis maganda ang ganda kasi ng view nila ng Taal lake and ang laki ng rooms nila good for prep and discounted pa room rates nila for wedding preps.

Hi ladies,

Would you know if strict ang OLLP sa number ng PS and abays?

Thank you!

[xxcheiyexx]

^and if they're strict if ever kasi balak ko kunin cousin ko as bridesmaid. He's gay and crossdresser baka strict sa church?

[Ziyi]

^I don't know about this sis xxcheiyexx siguro naman you are aware of the Catholic church's stand regarding this but really, it's up to you.

^^Sa pagkakaalam ko hindi sila strict sa no of PS and abay sis angel_cc.

We're almost done with all the church requirements, marriage bans na lang.. We will be claiming the reply of our respective parish church by first week of April and submit them afterwards sa OLLP. All in all, gumastos din kami ng 3k for all the documentary requirements.

^Ang usual na strict ang simbahan is dress code - like bawal sobrang plunging, or too much skin, or maikling gowns etc (which is most of the time, hindi nasusunod).

And no offense, pero there are times na mas mukhang babae pa yung mga friends/relatives nating crossdresser. Talk to your cousin na lang din if he can compromise. Baka pwedeng mag-men's outfit muna sya sa ceremony tapos bonggang gown na sa reception.

[ChixC18]

^^ I asked them re: PS and ento, hindi sila strict sissies. Don't worry kahit ilan pa siguro yang ento or PS niyo keri lang sakanila as long as listed don sa list ng ento na ibibigay mo sakanila.

Hello mga sis! Just wanted to ask how many offertory gifts did you or are you giving the church? Ang alam ko lang is the offertory candles, flowers and basket of fruits then optional yung wine and host. Then nung nagfollow up kami mandatory na rin ang wine and host?  Pinagtatalunan kasi namin ni h2b hehe sabi ko optional yun sabi nya need daw talaga.  

[barbillie]

Mandatory ang wine and host sis. Our wedding was wayback 2014, required na sya.

Hello OLLP Brides,

Questions lang ladies, sa readings ba tayo ang mamimili ng ilalagay don or sakanila dapat manggagaling? and another thing is pwede bang satin ang commentator and readers? And regarding personal vows ask ko how do you deal with this?

[Ziyi]

^Ang commentator sis sa kanila manggagaling pero ang readers sa atin. They do allow naman na yung commentator sa side natin manggaling, just be sure lang that the one who will be assigned knows what he or she is doing. Iniiwasan kasi nila na madistrupt yung ceremony or masira yung flow kapag inexperienced yung commentator.  They don't allow personal vows. Ako din iniisip ko saan namin pwede maincorporate yun, pwedeng sa reception program or you could do a "first look" and say your vows there.   

[ChixC18]

^ Thank you for the info sis! I attended mass last Sunday don pero I forgot to ask. Hehe. I'm really sad na hindi talaga pwede yung personal vows sakanila kasi sa iba naman na church pinapayagan sila depende ata sa officiating priest? Commentator naman my cousin serves sa church kasi that's why she knows how, gusto ko sana sa kaniya ibigay yung task na yon since di ko siya na sama sa ento ko, e close ko pa man din siya. LOL! How about sa gospels sis na ilalagay sa missalettes? Do we get to choose them or sila nadin ang bahala? May sinend sakin na missalette yung isang sis sa waw pero mejo di ko mainitindihan yung format. 

And if I may ask may prep area ka na sis? And any other sissies here. Hehe. I'm eyeing on Crosswinds resorts, nag ocular kami don nung weekend after mag food tasting. We loved the place pwede sa hotel or sa mga villa/houses don! pero kung may iba pang suggestions I'm open naman sa iba pang options. 

[jenhrose16]

hi! Im a newbie here in GT! can anyone please send me a copy of OLLP misalette? my email ad is jenhZafire16@gmail.com thank you 

[mecuarte]

Hi everyone, ask lang po if how much magpakasal sa OLLP Church?. Any update po for the price and requirements for the marriage?.. Thank you so much God bless you all!

[ChixC18]

^mecuarte - Hello sis! Welcome to the page! I just don't know kung may recent change sa rates nila pero when I booked them late October 2016 for my March 2018 wedding ang rate nila is 20K. They require 50% DP to secure the date and oh BTW, they do not allow pencil bookings.

Hi!
Sis does anyone know the office hours of OLLP? We're planning to reserve a date na, but since h2b is from abroad next month pa kami makakapunta ng tagaytay and very limited ang time namin, just want to make sure hindi sayang ang punta namin. Do we have to call them first or ok lang na walk in na lang sa office? Thank you!

[girlush]

Hi!
Sis does anyone know the office hours of OLLP?

You can also inquire at this #: (046) 413-0758 / 413-2468

[Mighty_luh]

^ Thanks girlush for the info!!

[hellojewel]

Hi girls!

I'm an OLLP bride, I know na bawal ang personal vows.  But how about personal messages?  Pwede kayang mapakiusapan sa priest?  Meron ba rito na in-allow ng priest nila after nung announcement ng CBCP back in Jan 2016?

My wedding is going to be on Dec 2018 and I just wish na magawan ng paraan yung messages kahit hindi vows kasi iba talaga pag sa church yun ginawa eh. 

 Thank you!!!

[ChixC18]

^ Hi sis! Sobrang sad din ako na di nila inaallow personal vows anymore. Pero I agree na sana pumayag sila sa personal message nalang after ng wedding rites talaga... kasi iba nga talaga ang "feels" pag sa church and infront of your love ones/God mo ginawa yon.
