Wedding Wednesdays: Wedding Venues in Tagaytay
I love Tagaytay for so many reasons. When I was younger, and back when it wasn't as commercialised as it is today, we would have family reunions and overnight stays in the quarters by Tagaytay's radar station. As a teenager growing up in the South, my high school friends and I would go to Tagaytay for lunch or merienda and still manage to be back in time for dinner with the ... Continue Reading
