Wedding Manila: Pre-Cana

Tonight, I'll be flying back to Manila for the pre-cana. Pre-cana is a course that couples must undergo before getting married in a Catholic Church. For San Sebastian Church, the pre-cana is usually every 3rd Friday of the month.

For more info you can contact San Sebastian Church:
San Sebastian Church
Tel. No. 7348908
Every 3rd Friday
Php 500/couple

I've been sad for a week now. My closest cousin just passed away. Shit happens.

UPDATE:
If you are going to wed at San Sebastian Church, then, there is no need to pay for 500 pesos. But if you are guest couple meaning you are going to wed in a different church then a fee of 500/couple is required.

The pre-cana started around 7pm, although the call time was 6:30pm. The session started with the priest explaining the sanctity of marriage and his experiences with the couples being wed at San Sebastian.

Then, another speaker spoke about the difference between man and woman, life of a married couple, etc.

Lastly, the event coordinator of San Sebastian spoke about the rules of San Sebastian Church.
> The wedding is strictly 1 hour. So if you want to have more picture taking, then you must pay another 1 hour - it means that you must pay 50K.
> If you opted for 1 hour only, they suggest that the officiating priest should be from San Sebastian Church since they already know the flow of the ceremony in San Sebastian.
> No offertory in San Sebastian.
