Drixler's POV

Hello! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Drix, the best man. I've known Louie since childhood, which means since before we learned what a mullet is and that it wasn't a good look for either of us.(nagtawanan ang ibang mga bisita)
Louie and Brea told me there are some topics I should avoid in this speech so... I look though cue cards, then shake my head and dramatically drop them all to the floor but one.

Reading from the remaining cue card

"...Louie is really the best friend I've ever had. He's done so many wonderful things that it would be difficult to name them all ... Hey, Louie, I can't read your handwriting here!" all the visitors are laughing "But seriously, it's all true. This guy is a great friend—the best I've got—and I'm very proud to stand by his side today." Sumeryoso kong sabi at tiningnan si Brea.

Nakangiti ito at halata ang sayang nararamdaman sa mga oras na iyon. "Brea, I was hoping to be the best looking person in the room today but obviously I failed miserably. You look beautiful. I'm so happy for the two of you.
May you always find joy in the little things, like Xbox and Star Wars, oh wait, no that was Louie and me in middle school. Find joy in each other, and have a lifetime of happiness together." tinanggap ko ang wine glass na may laman na iniabot ng isang waiter. "Let's toast for the bride and groom!"  masayang sabi ko at sabay sabay kaming uminom.

"Congratulations again bro.." muling bati ko kay Louie boy at niyakap ito ng bahagya, maging si Brea ay binati ko ring muli.

"You're so funny, love," sabay hawak niya sa aking mga kamay. Mauupo palang ako sa tabi ni Cassie ng magsalita na uli ang host.

"Can we call also Cassie for her message to the newly wed."

Nagkatinginan kami ni Cassie sa narinig bago ko siya inalalayan na tumayo para lumapit sa unahan. Nakangiti itong tinanggap ang microphone na iniabot ng host saka sinimulan ang mensahe para sa bagong kasal.

"Congrats our beloved, Louie and Brea. You know how I always says that I wish you both all the happiness in life. Just be patient with each other and learn to listen unto what each of you would say, Always. Let God be the center of your relationship. Let His blessing be the foundation of this marriage. And siyempre, continue to love each other until you are both old na. I know that you compliment with each other, with rare gift of patience, understanding and love. Haha. I love you both! Cheers!"

Ang lahat ng sponsored at bisita ay nasa kanya kanya paring table, masayang nagkakainan at nagkukuwentuhan habang masaya rin na iginagala ng bagong kasal ang mga mata nila sa mga bisita na nakidalo sa kanilang espesyal na araw. Sa gitna ng kainan at kuwentuhan ay muling nagsalita ang emcee sa gitna ng venue.

"Hello again everyone, habang tayo po ay nagpapakabusog sa napakasarap na pagkain akin pong iistorbohin muli ang ating newly wed na pumunta dito sa unahan para sa kanilang first dance as Mr.and Mrs. Ricafort." masayang tawag ng emcee sa bagong kasal.

Pero bago pa man sila lumapit dito ay muling tumunog ang mga taginting ng mga kutsara sa mga baso hudyat na nahingi ang mga bisita ng isang halik mula sa mag asawa, napatawa muna ang bago kasal bago nila muli idampi ang mga labi sa isat isa.

Masayang nakatingin lang ang magkasintahang Drixler at Cassie sa mga kaibigan habang ang mga ito ay papalapit sa gitna. At ng sumenyas na ang emcee sa isang tao na nakatuka sa sound system at mabilis na sinakop ng magandang musika ang venue.
