#TKOS-BIRTHDAY

"ALIRA Kassandra Mun-dela Cuesta, take this ring, sign of my love for you. I promise to always remember that we both are indeed human. That I and you may sometimes make questionable decisions, I promise that as being the wall of our future family, I will do everything to fix our misunderstanding, to make our love's concrete tougher than our love's concrete today." Napapunas siya ng mga takas niyang luha sabay singhot ng sipon na nagbabadyang tumulo. "For richer and poorer, for happiness and sadness, in sickness and in health, I will love and protect you forever. Till death do us part." He put the shining shimmering spiral ring on my finger as he gets his handkerchief and wiped off his tears.

I giggled at what I saw. I picked the other ring and put it on his right ring finger, as I say, "I wholeheartedly accepting your love, honey." Tiningnan ko siya sa kaniyang mga mata at ngumiti ng abot hanggang sa aking tainga. " Martin Lawrence Choi-Chavez, honey, take this ring. Value it because it tied my heart for you forever and nothing can't take us apart...except death. I can't promise anything except for one thing, " Tiningnan ko siya sa kaniyang mga mata. "I will protect you and our family even it costs my life. For bette-" naputol ang aking sinasabi, napamilog ang aking mga mata, napaawang ang aking bibig at namula ang aking pisngi dahil sa umugong na tuksuan ng mga tao nang bigla akong yakapin ni Martin.

"Yah!" Pagsita ko sa kaniya ng maghiwalay kami sa pagkakayakap sa isa't isa. I looked at the priest in front of us, he then smiled and nodded at me, signed that I could now continue my wedding vow. "Huwag kang excited, honey, mamaya pa ang honeymoon, " pambibiro ko na ikinahalakhak ng mga tao sa paligid namin. "For better and for worse, in sickness and in health, for sadness and happiness, I will be your loving wife who will stay at your side forever. Till Death do us part. I trust you, honey." I put the ring on his finger as he then wiped off my fallen tears. Not tears of sadness but tears of joy.

Sabay naming hinarap ang pari sa aming harapan. "Sa ngalan ng simbahang katolika, sa tanang mga kapurihan, at sa harap ng poong maykapal kayong dalawa ay inaanunsiyo ko bilang ganap ng mag-asawa, " nagpalakpakan ang lahat dahil sa sinabi ni Father. "Tandaan ninyo, ang kasal ay hindi tulad ng mainit na kaning inyong isusubo at 'pag kayo'y napaso ay inyo itong iluluwa't itatapon na lang basta-basta, " paalala ni father na aming sinangayunan.

"Kung tayong tatlo'y nagkakaliwanagan, you may now kiss your bride!" Pagbibigay niya ng permisyo kay Martin na ikinatawa naman nito.

"Yiiehh, cheers!" Sigawan ng mga taong nakapaligid sa amin kasama sila mamá't papá at sila mommy't daddy.
