Fourteen years ago tomorrow, Exie and I got married at Mary the Queen Parish in the City of San Juan. Our lunch reception was at the restaurant Chateau 1771 in the El Pueblo Real complex in Ortigas Center. It closed last year—for good, I thought, because it relocated to the newer Greenbelt 5 mall in Makati City, a location which better suits its fine dining atmosphere. Happily, I discovered earlier this month that the company only closed the El Pueblo location temporarily. Its interior has been completely renovated and it is now named Café 1771 but it still offers some of the original dishes and its charming facade has been retained. I'm glad to know that our wedding reception memories are not just memories now.
Happy anniversary, love of my life.
Concratulations upon the anniversary. Something probably not many would be able to. Please have you all a nice start into the new week.

Our heartfelt congratulations! 3 years and 9 months for us
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! My wife and I just celebrated our 13th anniversary last week.
ReplyDeleteYour "poverty gap" post is very telling, a great way of illustrating the problem. We have similar issues around here.
You'd asked me on my blog about our septic system (we don't have water or sewer, living just outside the city). We have the septic system pumped about once every 3 years, by one of several companies that specialize in that field. Most of the liquids go into a "leech field", which slowly releases them into the earth where they're recycled by nature. That's a common thing out here, and there are strict standards about how they are built so that they don't have any negative effect on the environment.
And a happy anniversary to both of you! Are you going to visit the restaurant again?
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have celebrated the day!
Congratulations and happy Anniversary! If I could refresh my memory, is it associated with ICA, the Chinese School. Sorry, its been a while.
