The Transfiguration Chapel at Caleruega

The most important decision has already been made. The Church or should I say the Chapel.


Though we have already decided that Caleruega is where our wedding vows will take place, it was a different feeling and affirmation that it is indeed the place for us when we arrived in Caleruega for an ocular visit. As we (Adrian, I, Ezra, Butch and their son Angelo) enter the lovely and serene place, a vintage fountain caught my eyes, just like what I saw in some pictures online. We then went to the office, spoke to the caretakers and went on to tour the beautiful sanctuary. We passed by some rooms where a seminar/retreat were being held. We stop to take some pictures of the scenery below the hill.. Nature is so beautiful..God is truly an amazing artist. We then took the stairway to get to the roof deck that you can rent for the venue of your reception. And we went down to go to the other side where the beautiful chapel is located. It’s surrounded with pine trees, trimmed bermuda grass, healthy plants and sweet smelling flowers. Shots were taken here and there.. Adrian can’t get enough of the chapel, he took 8 different shots of it from the outside and 8 shots of different angel of it from the inside. It’s very small and very compact (it only has 7 benches on each side) and I’m imagining our family and friends seated side by side to witness our union… I was more excited than ever! Adrian said after taking his last shot of the Chapel, “I’m falling inlove with this Chapel” and I knew right there and then that this is our chapel, this is where my big day will take place. Pictures were again taken as we walk through the steps back to the admin office. And there, we reserved our Wedding Date: September 3,2005 3 o’clock in the afternoon.
