Don't let the dark and murky staircase you have to pass through to get there fool you--The Burrow at the Antipolo Beehouse is a gorgeous cafe beside a stream, and replete with plants, trees, and flowers.
The weather was perfect, the church was just so beautiful, the flowers were exquisite, and the musicians were playing the musical score from my all-time favorite film (Love Theme from Cinema Paradiso) perfectly. I couldn't stop myself from crying when I saw my parents. When we reached the altar, Eric was looking at me and holding my hand even more lovingly than he normally does. My bridal march was as magical as I imagined it would be.
I have yet to visit all Parisian neighborhoods, but Montmartre is so far my favorite. Montmartre is the Paris imagined in cinema, especially when it’s very early in the morning when there are no tourists around. It is charming, colorful, artsy, and has a quaint village vibe. Walk its streets, and you’ll soon find yourself climbing ridiculously high staircases. A ride on the bus feels like a ride on a rollercoaster, with its sharp turns and steep inclines. Montmartre is, after all, on top of a hill (or hills?). Walking along Rue Lepic with its numerous tables outside French bistros and cafés, listening to French chatter and the clinking of wine glasses, and witnessing a spectacular full moon, I couldn’t help but wonder: am I a real person, or am I actually just a non-speaking character in a French film, passing by in the background?
