reminiscing our wedding day(multply post 2/29/08)

8 days to go and it'll be our 2nd year wedding anniversary, hubby, who never fails to say when reminiscing..." haaay parang antagal na naten noh!!! parang ten years!!! " then we'll start to laugh" two years, two narin ang kids!" hehe, "eh pag three years., three kids din?!" hehe....

Ours is not a fairytale wedding, not exactly the one we always wanted and planned to perfection, we had a budget to stick to,and we had to rush things as i'll be having a hard time in the future to move around when my tummy gets bigger! yeah, joelits was there! hehe the oldies kasi are so excited for joelits and you know, oldies stuff...you have to get married first to be blessed. "Blessed", it's a big thingie for them, though its also impt. to us, we don't wnna rush things sana, AND I WANTED A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING! you know, like the ones we see in romantic movies, etc. but shempre, oldies will be oldies, eh dun din naman daw pupunta, so mas maganda na mauna ang blessings from above...

papa is in silent mode then, though emotions sets in, he just let us be and remained silent..

" u may now kiss the bride".. then picture picture na..."DONG DONG DING A DING ADING...(sound of tambol..) a group of h.s.kids enter the church in a two line formation dancing the igorot dance... uyyy surprise performance ba ito?! gosh...they're practicing pala for their school affair, hindi kami napansi kasi angkonti namen! so stop sila tuluy picture picture... so memorable noh!

on the way to the hotel/reception..ay nku hinanap ko na ang backup cds ko! ayoko na marinig ako maganda nilang organ pls!
upon entering the reception area, andun na c manong organista!!! naku c manong! torture toh! sobra na tama na! i ask ian ata to immediately give the cds to manong organista pls lang!! take note IMMEDIATELY! nung ibibigay na ni ian, he started playing the organ.... uyy, i like the song...and its not the organd sound i hate! haayy nakahinga ako ng malaim!THANK YOU LORD!!! manong organista has a sense of good music,and he plays my kind of music! salamat manong! ilabyou! thats the only time i started to relax na...
the program starts,aa and jay are bubby kya enjoy, then its time to eat... manong played good songs,light jazz, then he played our song... "i remembered so well...the day that you came...into my life... u asked for my name...you had the most beautiful smile..." I GOT TEARY EYED!...hindi ko napigilan.. our song has finally been played!! " my life started to change,i'd wakeup each day, feeling alright...with you right by my side...makes me feel things will work out just fine..." hon noticed me and grabbed my hand, teary-eyed also and smiled..isaid... its my bridal march!he played my bridal march..our song!".... " how did you know...i needed someone like you in my life... that there's an empty space in my heart....u came at the right time in my life...." then we whispered i love you's...." i'll never forget...how you brought the sun to shine in my life....and took all the worries and fears that i have..." .then my bestfriends and family notice us teary-eyed and my tears of joy as i can't keep my tears from falling..." i guess what i'm really trying to say, its not evryday that someone like you comes my way...no word can express how much i love you...., and those who notice us started to get teary-eyed also.
whew, what a single song can make a disastrous wedding be the most emotional and memorable wedding i've gone to!
then aa rendered us a song...unforgettable... at first, perfect..unfortunately manong organista is having a hard time with the notes,so aa started to have a hard time keeping up with manong organista....hehe ending..unforgettable :) hehe it was a nice laugh for aa and us aftr my emotional song hehe
then one by one they gave their speech and words of love to us, also papa, we all got emotional,teary-eyed,giggled because though papa rehersed his speech with kodigo pa un ah, his voice is shaking because he's fighting his tears not to fall! all in all our day turne out to be the most memorable and emotional day for us ...nakalimutan ko na ang organ...
after the reception, its time to rest! im really sleepy na! so we left some friends and papa's amigos pa while they hang around pa, upon going to the elevator, nakasalubong namin si papa, hubby teary-eyed, " pa...." and papa teary-eyed also nodded and they had a quick embrace... the "pa.." of hon and the nod of papa,we, hon,papa and i know, it says everything they wanted to say to each other .and they had an understanding... then at the elevator,still teary-eyed, we smiled and sigh and kiss, thank you Lord for this day :)

though its not the wedding we wanted, we are so happy it happened,for it opened many hearts,healed hearts and started a new life full of love,so much for a wedding
kakaloka noh!thats how things happened then, so many emotions! hehe after two years, and two babies hehe, i never fail to giggle,laugh and get teary-eyed when reminiscing our Big day :)
