XII: Wedding

Abby’s POV

Ambilis lumipas ng panahon, grabe! January na, kasal na nila soon-to-be mother ko. Saya!

Andito kami ni Dad sa bahay, nagpreprepare kailangan niyng mas maaga kasi Groom siya.

After ko din magbihis, dederecho naman ako kila Nathan para tinginan si soon-to-be-mother ko.

Andito ako sa kwarto ko, I will be the Bride’s maid kaya dapat, bongga ako ngayon.

Blue ngayon ang theme kaya nakasuot ako ng blue na semi gown. Medyo maiksi sa harap and mahaba sa likod. I love it! Kakaexcite.

Maya maya, nag paalam na din ako kay Dad para pumunta kila Nathan.

Pagdating ko dun, sinalubong ako agad ni Nathan. Teka bakit ganun ang aura niya. Ampogi niya! Opps, kapatid mo siya Abby. Ka. Pa. Tid. Okay! Ang pogi ng kuya ko!

Napabaling ako sa naglalakad, ang soon-to-be-mother ko ang ganda! Nako, ngayon palang parang magkakasundo na kami.

“Iha, andito ka na pala!” sabi sakin ng soon-to-be-mother ko.

“Oh my god! Soon-to-be-mother, mukha kang goddess. Manang mana ka po sakin.” Sabi ko. Bigla namang tumawa si Natha, “Hahahaha! GGSS? Self-proclaimed? Hahahaha.” Tiningnan ko siya ng masama tapos itinaas niya yung dalawang kamay niya na parang sumusuko na. “Hayaan mo na siya, nak. That’s true naman eh.” Saway niya kay Nathan. Bumaling naman siya sakin. “Thank you, iha. You look like a goddess too. Saka, wag mo na akong tawaging soon-to-be-mother ang haba eh. Magsanay ka nalang na Mommy na.” tumango ako kay soon-to­be este mommy pala. Tapos tumingin ako kay Nathan, hinapas ko sakanya yung buhok ko. Nagtawanan naman kami.

I’m sure magiging Masaya yung pamilya naming. Hayy, exciting!

Start na ng Ceremony,mamaya maya lalakad na din ako. Hay.

Magkapartner si Nathan and Hera, of course.

Habang naglalakad lahat, kinakanta yung Forever’s not enough by Sarah Geronimo

Hay, feel na feel ko naman yung kanta. May forever ba talaga? Not enough ba talaga yun? Hay, andami kong naiisip eh, wala nga akong lovelife. Kailan kaya—

“Hoy.”

Nabalik yung senses ko nung may bumulong sa tenga ko.

“Ay, kalian kaya?”

Tumawa siya. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.

“Ambagal kasi natin maglakad. Hoy, hindi ikaw yung ikakasal. Hahaha” smimangot naman bigla yung mukha ko. Tama na.

Nakaupo na kami tapos nagstart na.

"Dear friends and family, we are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the union of Roby dela Cruz  and Bea Fernandez  in marriage. In the years they have been together, their love and understanding of each other has grown and matured, and now they have decided to live their lives together as husband and wife."

"True marriage begins well before the wedding day, and the efforts of marriage continue well beyond the ceremony's end. A brief moment in time and the stroke of the pen are all that is required to create the legal bond of marriage, but it takes a lifetime of love, commitment, and compromise to make marriage durable and everlasting. Today you declare your commitment to each other before family and friends. Your yesterdays were the path to this moment, and your journey to a future of togetherness becomes a little clearer with each new day."

Oo nga naman.

"Roby dela Cruz and Bea Fernandez today you choose each other before your family and friends, to begin your life together. For all the tomorrows that follow, you will choose each other over and again, in the privacy of your hearts. Let your love and friendship guide you, as you learn and grow together. Experience the wonders of the world, even as patience and wisdom calm the restless nature. Through your partnership, triumph over the challenges in your path. Through the comfort of loving arms, may you always find a safe place to call home."

"Do you Roby dela Cruz take Bea Fernandez to be your lawfully wedded wife, promising to love and cherish, through joy and sorrow, sickness and health, and whatever challenges you may face, for as long as you both shall live?"

“Yes, father. I do.”

"Do you Bea Fernandez, accept Roby dela Cruz  as your lifemate and one true love, promising to share in all that life offers and suffers, to be there for him in times of need, to soothe him in times of pain, and to support (him/her) in all endeavors, big and small."

“I do, father.”

Vows na.

"I acknowledge my love and respect for you and invite you to share my life as I hope to share yours. I promise always to recognize you as an equal individual and always to be conscious of your development as well as my own. I shall seek through kindness and understanding to achieve with you the life we have envisioned."

"I promise to always be there for you, to shelter and hold your love as the most precious gift in my life. I will be truthful and honor you. I will care for you always and stand by you in times of sorrow and joy." Mommy Bea.

I pledge to you endless strength that you can count on when you are weak. I'll be your music when you can't hear, your sunshine when you can't see, or your perfume when you can't smell. You'll never need to look further than me. I'll be your days and nights when you need them filled, your spark of life in the darkness, your hope when you're down and out."

"In the presence of our family and friends, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live." Daddy.

“From the earliest times, the circle has been a symbol of completeness, a symbol of committed love. An unbroken and never ending circle symbolizes a commitment of love that is also never ending. As often as either of you looks at this symbol, I hope that you will be reminded of the commitment to love each other, which you have made today.
Will each of you repeat after me?” father.

“I, Roby dela Cruz give to you Bea Fernandez this ring, as a symbol of my commitment to love, honor, and respect you. With this ring, I thee wed.”

“I, Bea Fernandez give to you Roby dela Cruz,  this ring, as a symbol of my commitment to love, honor, and respect you. With this ring, I thee wed.”

“Before this gathering, Roby dela Cruz and Bea Fernandez have promised each other their love and have given each other rings to wear as a sign of their deep commitment. Therefore I declare that they are husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”

Ayun. Ang sweet, hay. Second love ni Dad.
