CHAPTER 58: Dream Come True
"TODAY is the day I watch my little girl marry the love of her life. Today, I will finally stop worrying about who will look after her when I no longer can. She found you. Welcome to the Family, Son. Take care of our only daughter," sabi ni Daddy at iniabot na ang kamay ko kay Jerome nang makarating na kami sa dulo ng aisle.
"Yes po, Tito," sabi ni Jerome at hinawakan ang kamay ko na bahagya niya pang pinisil.
"Don't call me tito, simula sa araw na ito ay anak ka na rin namin ni Chrizel, kaya Daddy na ang itawag mo sa akin," nakangiting sabi ni Daddy.
"Yes po, M-Mom and D-Dad. Thank you for bringing, loving, and taking care of such a beautiful woman in this world. Today, I take her hand and it's my turn to do all of those. I will cherish and treasure her more than you could ever imagine. My respect goes to my wife's first man, Dad, and to the woman who gave birth to her, Mom." nakangiting sabi ni Jerome na ikinangiti lang nina Mommy at Dad sa kanya bago tumango.
Pagkatapos ay naglakad na kami paakyat sa altar kung nasaan nakatayo ang paring magkakasal sa amin.
"Dear family and friends, with great affection for Hazelyn Saoirse Candelaria and Jerome Keann Calliego we have gathered together to witness and bless their union in marriage. To his sacred moment they bring the fullness of their hearts as a treasure and a gift from God to share with one another. They bring the dreams which bind them together in an eternal commitment. They bring their gifts and talents, their unique personalities and spirits, which God will unite together into one being as they build their life together. We rejoice with them in thankfulness to the Lord for creating this union of hearts, built on friendship, respect and love."
Pagkatapos umupo ng congregation.
Nagstart na ang giving away the bride.
"Who presents this woman and this man to be married to each other?"
Nag-I Do ang parents ko at ang Mommy ni Jerome.
Narinig pa namin ang pahabol ni Kath.
"Dapat lang! Ibigay na ang bride sa groom! Wooo!" sigaw ni Kath na ikinatawa ng barkada.
Napapailing na lang kami kay Kath...
Sa lahat yata maliban sa amin ni Jerome ay siya na ang pinaka-excited.
"Mukang gusto ka na talagang ipamigay ni Kath," bulong sa akin ni Jerome.
"It's about time na rin na kunin mo ako."
Nginitian niya ako bago nakinig ulit sa pari.
"Let me charge you both to remember, that your future happiness is to be found in mutual consideration, patience, kindness, confidence, and affection. Jerome Keann Calliego, it is your duty to love Hazelyn Saoirse Candelaria as yourself provide tender leadership, and protect her from danger. Hazelyn Saoirse Candelaria, it is your duty to treat Jerome Calliego with respect, support him, and create a healthy, happy home. It is the duty of each of you to find the greatest joy in the company of the others: to remember that in both interests and affection, you are to be one and undivided."
Pagkatapos niyon... Nag-start ang pledging.
"Jerome Keann Calliego, do you take Hazelyn Saoirse Candelaria to be your wedded wife, and in the presence of these witnesses do you vow that you will do everything in your power to make your love for her a growing part of your life? Will you continue to strengthen it from day to day and week to week with your best resources? Will you stand by her in sickness or in health, in poverty or in wealth, and you shun all others and keep yourself to her alone as long as you both shall live?"
