From Altar to Celebration

From Altar to Celebration – The Road Leading to the Mango Farm Venue

It is a matter of pride and wonder that even in this day and age, couples still have church weddings. Papakasalan kita sa lahat ng simbahan goes one of the oldest Tagalog promises of suitors to their ladies, and while impractical today, shows how deeply embedded the strength of the institution is in the hearts of future spouses. The choice of church is still, in spite of the added costs, essential in the keeping of lifelong vows that will keep a couple faithful and loyal to each other for as long as the two shall live, through the simplest exchange of I do's.

The Mango Farm Venue and the Church

And then off to the venue of the celebration, of course. The church and the party go hand in hand. The match becomes convenient when the church and venue are close to each other, keeping travel time to a minimum. But as you can see from the map, it doesn't have to be so. The Mango Farm has been the site for the reception of church weddings as far as the Archbishop's Palace on Shaw Boulevard. Judging by the distance, the Mango Farm has an effective radius of around 17 kilometers – more than enough to cover most churches in Quezon City.

The support of the newlyweds' friends and families are just as important to the success of the marriage as the blessings of the church, and that support formally begins in the wedding reception. As far as promises go, the community is also making one for the couple.'

The Message of the Church

Choosing which church for what venue is beside the point – besides, it sorts itself out eventually. It may take some haggling or compromise, or it may be the easiest decision the young couple are going to make. The choice of church, on the other hand, comes from the history of the couple, the groom or the bride.

The groom or the bride could have grown up in the same parish. A school nearby implies the couple could be childhood sweethearts – or at the very least, known each other way back in the day. A large cathedral implies the support of the parents of both sides, perhaps with political, financial or popular ties. The choice of church speaks a lot about the young couple.

But, as the words of John Lennon go, all you need is love. The church and venue may vary, but one thing remains. In both places, wherever they may be, this promise deserves a celebration of love.
