We don't know what tomorrow holds, but we know who holds tomorrow

I was on the altar singing as my Joy is on the other side, walking down the aisle on her white dress. I couldn't remove my gazes from her. It was a garden wedding, tanging pamilya lang namin ang dumalo. Sobrang bilang sa kamay ang tao kaya siya lang talaga ang nakikita ng mga mata ko.

Knowing this we'll live above the world and all its sorrows


She looked at me, smiling but with tears are falling down. I can't help but to smile... crying. Ibinaba ko ang mic saka tumitig sa paa ko. It took me a couple of while before I started singing again. I just couldn't believe that this time has finally came. I never imagine we would reach this far.


I have prayed for all my life that we would be together
Serving Him together seems so right


Tinapik ako ni kuya saka pabirong tumawa. I laughed, still crying. Mukha na akong baliw. Che zoomed the camera onto my face pero hindi na ako makapagsalita. All I can do is to continue singing while staring at my lovely bride. She's the most beautiful bride I've ever seen.



Oh, oh yes, it's true
He has chosen me for you



Joerrelle Yshanna Martin. My life. My Joy. She came in the most unexpected time. Sinong mag-aakala na ako ang pipiliin ng Diyos para sa kanya. Sinong mag-aakala na siya ang pipiliin ng Diyos para sa akin. 


Take my hand and we'll agree
That He has chosen you for me



I was glad that He gave me te greatest woman in this world.



"I love you." I mouthed and wiped the tears in my face as I smiled from ear to ear. Tumawa siya saka maingat na pinunasan ang mukha sa ilalim ng suot niyang puting belo. I wanted to hold her right now at this moment.


"Take care of my sister." Bulong ng kuya niya saka ako tinapik sa balikat. I nodded my head and offered my hand to Joy. Tumitig siya sandali doon saka 'yun tinanggap. We both smiled without saying any word as if we already know.


All the love that He bestowed and all the gifts He gave me



"You came into my life on the most unexpected time. You never once looked at me that's why I never thought that this day would come." Saad ko, nakatitig sa mga mata niyang nagniningning. Tumawa siya saka tumitig sa mga kamay namin na magkahawak sa ilalim ng belo na nakasuot sa ulo niya.


With all this I praise His name for putting us together
He knew we'd be together from the start




"I, Joerrelle Yshanna Martin, take you, John Paulo Nase to be my friend, my lover, the father of my future children and my husband. I will be yours in times of plenty and in times of want, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, in times of failure and in times of triumph. I promise to cherish and respect you, to care and protect you, to comfort and encourage you, and stay with you, for all eternity."

Oh, oh yes, it's true
He has chosen me for you



Lumunok ako saka mahigpit na hinawakan ang mga kamay ni Joy. "Noon, wala naman talaga akong ibang plano." I paused and stared at her welling eyes. "Akala ko okay lang ako na walang ibang kasama sa buhay, magtapos ng pag-aaral, magtrabaho para sa pamilya. Simpleng buhay..."


"Oh, oh yes, it's true
He has chosen me for you," pagsabay ko sa tugtog.



"Dumating ka. Sabi ko, wow, grabe naman yung ibinigay sa akin ni Lord, sobra pa sa sobra." Nagtawanan ang mga kasama namin, ganoon din ako.
