"Happy birthday, Love."

I kissed my husband's temple to wake him up.

"Hmmmm?"

"Come on, Love. Wake up, now. It's your birthday."

Richard pulled me back instead, hugging me tight, caging me with  his arms and legs. I can hear him snoring softly after a few minutes.

Hay napagod masyado ang mahal ko. I can't blame him though. We  just shared an intense, passionate lovemaking an hour ago. Advanced  birthday gift ko daw dapat sa kanya. Ang harot talaga ng asawa ko.

Asawa ko.

I still can't believe this man sleeping beside me is now my husband. I am now Nicomaine Dei Mendoza-Faulkerson.

Mrs. Nicomaine Faulkerson. I am his.

Ahh, how fast time flies. We met October 2014. He courted me  November 2014 to July 2015. We officially became a couple on July 16,  2015, got engaged a year after, on July 2016. And just three months after announcing our engagement, we got married October 22, 2016.

Yes, di na ko pinakawalan ng asawa ko.

It was a very solemn and intimate church wedding. Only our  families and close friends were invited to witness our union as husband  and wife in front of God, to witness how great our love for each other. A  lot of happy tears were shed that day.

Huwag nyo na lang itanong kung gaano kadaming luha ang naiiyak ni  Richard. Hmmm...let's just say nag-flash flood din sya, pero sa lacrimal  ducts nya umagos.

We went to Maldives for our honeymoon, because Richard knew how  much I love the beach. Although sa two weeks na andun kami, yung first  week halos nasa loob lang kami ng villa because, ehem, honeymoon.

Kung di lang kami nakantyawan ni Ate Kai nung nag-Facetime kami at  nagtanong kung bakit ang mga Instagram pics namin ay puro photos sa  loob ng villa at wala halos sa beach, malamang di pa kami lalabas para  mag-swimming, sunbathing at i-explore and island.

Kaya ayun, halos maumay naman sila when Instagram was flooded with my pictures, taken by my husband. My very proud husband.

 My very proud husband
