Ford's POV




After a month...

Gigi is fully recovering. And, she's now ready to tell us the whole story. Pero bago iyon, isang napakahalagang okasyon ang ipagdiriwang namin.

Sa wakas... We already made it. This is it.

Hindi pa rin matanggal ang mga ngiti sa labi ko. Because this day is the day I've been waiting for. Our wedding day.

We decided na dito sa isang pribadong resort gaganapin ang kasal. Mithi resort.

Among the venues na pinagpilian ko, ito ang natipuhan ko, the Mithi resort. I like it because it is away from the crowd. This luxury resort is my kind of paradise. Isa pa, hindi na ako masyadong nahirapan. Its already a complete package. Also, Lorice's cousin, Doc. Fajardo helped me.

It is a very great venue for our wedding. And I'm sure, my wife will love this.

And now, I'm just waiting for my beautiful wife to walk, papunta sa kinaroroonan ko.

Habang naghihintay, I looked at our visitors. They are few, but very important to Lorice, and me. Si Gigi, and her mamang ang papang na matagal na pala niyang hindi nakikita. Drag and his family were also here. Steve and Ellaine, Kiel and Ginger. Her cousing Milan and Doc. Fajardo. And of course, grandma.

"Congrats, man." napalingon ako, and its my brother Freed. I choose him as my best man.

"Thanks."

Nagsimula lang dumapo ang kaba sa dibdib ko nang ipatugtog na ang kantang napili ko. The book of life's I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH.

I love you too much
To live without you loving me back
I love you too much

Napangiti na lang ako, nang makita siya habang inaalalayan ni papa Antonio. Naka blindfold kasi siya ngayon. Hindi niya alam kung ano ang itsura ng venue. Its a surprise.

Doon lang tinanggal ang blindfold nang makatungtong siya sa boardwalk. And... her reactions made me love her even more.

Heaven's my witness and this is a fact

My eyes are just looking on her. She wears her white long dress, and it suits her well.

I know I belong
When I sing this song

I love how she walks, and her sweet smiles, lalo na ang mga tingin niya. Napangiti na lang ako nang mapansin niya ang kanyang mamang at papang na kaagad siyang niyakap.

They look lovely.

Matapos non, muli silang naglakad ng kanyang ama.

There's love above love and it's ours
'Cause I love you too much

Nang makarating na sila ay nakangiting humarap si papa Antonio sa akin. "Make her happy, son."

"I will." saka ko hinawakan ang kanyang kamay.

I look at her beautiful face, at hanggang ngayon ay parang hindi pa rin siya nakaka move on dahil sa sobrang ganda ng lugar. Well, me either.

I live for your touch
I whisper your name night after night
I love you too much

"Sinurpresa mo 'ko. Hindi ko alam na ganito ito kaganda. Mas maganda pa kaysa sa iniisip ko."

"Mas maganda ka." and she smiled.

"Hindi ka talaga pumapalya sa pagpapangiti sa akin, Ford." I know. And I will never fail in making you always smile.

"That's my mission." I said, and smjked at her.

There's only one feeling and I know its right

I know I belong
When I sing this song
There's love above love and it's ours
'Cause I love you too much

Then the ceremony started. And after reading some verses in the bible.

And it goes very well. Today's weather was also perfect. Nakiki ayon ito sa kasal namin. I know, God is here with us. He's here.

Wala na akong iba pang tinititigan kundi ang napakaganda kong asawa, na magiging opisyal ko na talagang asawa. She's so beautiful.

And everytime I look at her, tumitingin din siya sa akin.

Napansin ko rin ang hairpin na ibinigay ko sa kanya noon. And she still have that. Wala siyang ibang palamuti sa buhok kundi iyon lang. But it makes her more beautiful.

At matapos ang saglit kong paghihintay, the pastor already gave us the chance to say our vows.

Heaven knows your name and I've been praying
To have you come here by my side

"Sa totoo lang, wala talaga akong masabi. I cant believe na finally, kasal ko na ngayong araw." I said, and I heard small laughs from them. Natawa na lang din ako dahil sa sinabi ko.

"But you know, I can call myself as a lucky man. Why? Because God gave me a woman who will understand the real me, like what my family and friends do. He gave me this woman who will love me, and the inner monster inside me."

Nang sinabi ko iyon ay nakita kong naluha si Lorice. So, I wiped her tears.

"Lorice Alli Delfin Torres, you're my answered prayer. I dont even know how to pray but because of you, natuto akong lumapit sa Diyos. And I thank you for it. Today, I will take care of you, more than in what am I doing for the last times. I will protect you, and our angel with all my strength. I will do everything to make you happy. I will be your everything. You are my everything, Lorice."

She cried even more.

"I will forever love you. I love you."

Without you a part of me is missing
Just to make you my whole life will fight

"Pinaiyak mo na naman ako." she said. At mahinang tawanan ang narinig namin.

I know I belong
When I sing this song
There's love above love and it's ours

"Wala na akong masasabi pa. Nasa'yo na kasi ang lahat ng hinihiling ko." and she smiled. "Today, I will love you, more than what I already gave to you. I will support you, take care of you, and our family. I will never leave you. I love you, and I will be always loving you, forever."

'Cause I love you too much

I love... you too much

After that, we put the wedding rings on each other's hands.

I love you too much
Heaven's my witness and this is a fact

"By the power vested in me, you are now Mr. and Mrs. Tan. Live with God. Serve him, and live together with love and peace. " the pastor said. "You may kiss the bride."

Your live in my soul
Your heart is my goal
There's love above love but it's mine 'cause
I love you

I kissed her forehead, and hugged her. Nanatili muna kami sa ganitong posisyon. Because I want to kiss her together with the breath taking view of the sunset.

Isa ko pa iyong surpresa sa kanya.

And after seconds, I finally kissed her, together with the sunset. We both hear claps and rounds of applause from our beloved friends and family.

There's love above love and it's yours cause
I love you

"I love you, Mrs. Tan." napangiti siya sa sinabi ko, at napatingin sa papalubog na araw. Tiningnan ko rin ito. And I smiled when it becomes more bright and its color shines more.

God's gift? Thank you, God.

"I love you too, hubby." Mas napangiti ako nang marinig ko iyon sa kanya.

I claimed her lips once again. Finally, you are now my Mrs. Tan.

There's love above love and it's ours

if you love me...

as much
