Dear Father Rembert,

This letter is made to humbly ask for your permission to allow my wife and I to perform our pre-nuptial photo shoot on the Abbey of Montserrat and on the school ground of San Beda College, Mendiola on the following dates:

October 11, 2015 (Sunday) 1:00 to 4:00 in the afternoon (Amateur) Maximum of 5 persons including Bride & Groom Equipments: Camera only

October 15, 2015 (Thursday) 1:00 to :400 in the afternoon (Professional) Maximum of 7 persons including Bride & Groom Equipments: Camera & Lighting

The reason we chose San Beda College, Mendiola and the Abbey of Montserrat is because for one, I have been a Bedan since my preparatory years starting from 1992 up until now that I am taking law school in Alabang (previously we were in College of Law, Mendiola), while my wife took her Medicine also in San Beda in the 1st year but transferred to the College of Law and we can’t see any other place to capture this moment other than the school we grew to love. Second reason is that, it has been always our dream to get married on the Abbey Church but for reasons that is out of our hands we won’t be able to, so this is the closest thing that we have next to getting married in the Abbey.

The reason for the two (2) dates is because our official photographer is only available during weekdays but we would also prefer to have the solemnity of the place during Sunday where there are less people and to have more intimate moments with the Abbey and the school grounds.

We are really hoping that you would consider our humble request to have our pictures taken in the Abbey of Montserrat and the school grounds; we are promising to treat the said places with the proper respect and appreciate it the way only Bedans would understand.

Hoping for your kind consideration.

Sincerely Yours,

John Elbert Falsis
