Five years later
JOHN
Humawak ako sa braso ni Renee at tuluyan na kaming lumabas ng room at nag tungo na sa venue ng kasal ko.
I can see everyone na part ng entourage na nag sisimula ng maglakad pero diko makita yung groom may nakaharang kasi eh tsaka bawal daw makita ng groom yung papakasalan nila except kung magalalakad na patungo sa altar.
Pero just so you know guys this is not a church wedding ha.
So matyaga akong nag antay hanggang sa oras na lumabas na ako.
kinabahan ako diko alam yung pakiramdam nakaka excite na nakaka nerbyos diko maintindihan..
as I slowly walked down the aisle, I could see the face of my future husband, Evan.
Nakangiti syang nakatingin sakin na naiiyak. Ang gwapo nya sa suot nyang suit napaka hot nyang tingnan. Ngumiti rin ako sa kanya and I saw his lips moved saying 'I Love you' kaya napangiti ako dahil sa kilig. Even after how many years of living together di parin nagbabago ang pakikitungo at pagmamahal nya sakin. It's the same way as before parin nothing change.
Nang makalapit ako sa kanya inoffer nya sakin ang kanyang braso kaya bumitaw na ako kay Renne at Mike at kumapit na kay Evan.
"Thanks guys" Evan said
"Yieeee kinkikilg ako! Goodluck guys" sabi ni Renee.
Agad naman nag simula ang kasal, naalala ko tuloy yung marriage booth sa Italy. And later on the officiant told us to exchange vows kaya nagtinginan kami pareho ni Evan at napatawa saglit pareho kasing naming naalala yung nangyari sa Italy sa marriage booth.
"The honor of conducting this ceremony today belongs to me; my name is Malic. Greetings and appreciation are extended on behalf of John and Evan.
They are overjoyed to have you around to share in their happiness at this joyous time in their lives.
By being there, you join them in celebrating the love they have found in one another and lending your support to their decision to spend the rest of their lives together.
The knowledge that we are loved-loved for who we are-is the greatest source of happiness in life. If anything, loving is preferable to being loved.
We are gathered here this afternoon to honor love. We're gathered here to celebrate and witness the union of these two as husbands.
Because marriage represents the union of two people on a heart, body, mind, and spirit level, it should not be entered into casually but with respect, candor, and intention. And now John and Evan are coming together to be a part of this union."
May marami pang sinabi si Malic, syempre kasal eh diba.
Hanggang sa..
"You have selected EVAN to be your lifelong companion, JOHN. Will you respect and adore him? Will you always be truthful with him? Will you support him no matter what happens?"
"I will" sagot ko
"You have selected JOHN to be your lifelong companion, EVAN. Will you respect and adore him? Will you always be truthful with him? Will you support him no matter what happens?"
" I will" sagot namn ni Evan
"I'd like to now pose a query to your families and friends in an atmosphere of joy and affirmation. Do you, John and Evan's family and friends, provide them your blessing and support on this day and wish them a happy marriage?"
"We Do" sagot ng lahat kaya napangiti kaming dalawa ni Evan.
"Now it's time for your vows, John and Evan. I would like to remind you that making your vows is one thing, but actually living them out every day is far harder. You must keep your promises every day moving forward, even tomorrow. Please turn to face each other and hold hands while gazing at each other." Sinunod naman namin ang sinabi ng officiant.
"Now say your vows, JOHN you go first"
"Evan, I promise to cherish you always, to honor and sustain you, in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth, and to be true to you in all things until death alone shall part us."
Sabi ko sa kanya and he smiled. Kung dati sa marriage booth natatawa kami nung sinabi namin yung vows this time natutuwa na kami, we don't see it funny anymore. We see as one of the most special ever happened to us.
"John My love, I promise to cherish you always, to honor and sustain you, in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth, and to be true to you in all things until death alone shall part us." Sabi nya in a very gentle tone.
"May I have the rings please" sabi ng officiant.
We held each other's hands, at nag announce na yung officiant para sa pagpalitan na namin ng sing sing.
"With this ring I, John, take you, Evan, to be no other than yourself. Loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know, I will respect your integrity and have faith in your abiding love for me, through all our years, and in all that life may bring us." Sabi ko at isinuot sa kanya ang sing sing. He smiled
"With this ring I, Evan, take you, John, to be no other than yourself. Loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know, I will respect your integrity and have faith in your abiding love for me, through all our years, and in all that life may bring us." He said at sinuot sakin ang sing sing sabay halik sa kamay ko kaya nag hiyawan ang mga tao.
"May the love that brought you together continue to grow and enrich your lives. May you continue to face any challenges that may come your way with courage. May your relationship always be one of love and trust. May the happiness you share today be with you forever. And may everything you have said and done here today become a living truth in your lives.
We have heard that you, JOHN and EVAN, intend to spend your life together in marriage. We acknowledge and value the commitment you made in this place on this day, with each of us serving as witnesses. Therefore, it is my honor and pleasure to pronounce you married and partners in life...for life. I do so based on the sincerity and honesty of what you have said and done here today, as well as the authority granted to me.
Your vows can be sealed with a kiss."
Agad akong hinawakan ni Evan sa waist and pulled me closer to him sabay kiss sa labi ko, he kissed mo softly and gently pero halos ayaw na nyang tumigil kaya napatawa ako while kissing him
"Now I Introduce you Husbands!! Congratulations!!" Announce ng officiant kaya mas lalong nag hiyawan ang mga tao.
Tumigil na si Evan sa pag halik sakin at pareho kaming nag wave sa mga kasama at nag silapitan naman sila samin at binati kami pareho..
Napatingin ako kay Evan na syang nakangiting nakatingin sakin at nakahawak sakin sa waist.
"I'm so happy my love, I love you so much" he said
"I love you too" sagot ko at hinawakan ko sya sa mukha at hinalikan ulit sa labi..
The End
