"LOVE is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing;

a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished"

Our journey was never easy…like most of us here… it all started in a very unexpected, yet so ordinary way… yes, we may find acquaintances and even a start of a very lasting friendship online, but a few brave ones would go on for the lasting tying the knot kind of relationship…. Yes, like what you guys did! We tied the knot…

After 2 years and 5 months of getting to know each other, hi hello’s , my likes and dislikes, unstoppable imissyou’s and iloveyou’s, we tied the knot!! Yes! We did!!

That day when he came back to the Philippines after a year of our first meeting… We both know that this is the moment we’re waiting for.. this is it!!!he always say… YOU’RE IT!! We are in it! We prepared all the necessary papers needed for our civil wedding, the very next day he landed, after catching up with lost times of not being together of course (wink)… it was all worth the wait… but you know how it feels when you haven’t been with your love for the longest time…. ITS NEVER ENOUGH!!! Hahahhaha… yeah, was never enough!

July 05, 2007 – woke up early morning… got ready… butterflies in our stomach… we went straight to MAX’s resto in Quezon city circle ( to have the wedding and reception at the same time… so no need to go anywhere!! ) we waited for our ninong’s and ninang’s (witnesses) and the minister… one by one they came… and so the ceremony began…say I do’s… the funny part in that wedding was…. LOL… we were caught off guard.. we know that it’s a very very simple way of saying I do’s…. and we never expected that the minister would ask us say our own VOWS to each other… we were like looking at each other laughing… giggling… so I started…i told him my love.. my care till death do us part.. even remember saying that made everyone laugh…. “NO DIVORCE OK?!” hahahha… and the witnesses were saying at the background!! Oh yeah Go grace!!! No divorce!! My husband was laughing, I know he was just trying not to blurt the LMAO kind…but at least so happy to see him smiling J…. He was never really prepared for the vow… he doesn’t like being caught off guard.. all I can remember him saying is that “I love you sooooo much… and will always be there to take care of you…”awwwwwe…. So short yet touched my heart in a very special special way….

Well… the main blooper of our wedding was when the minister stopped in the middle of the ceremony just to say…. “Ahhhmmmm…. I just want to tell you that there’s another 5000.00 pesos fee for the paper works…” (what the heck??? I was like in shocked!! My husband was so afraid to say NO thinking that the minister will stop the ceremony… geeeeeeeez… if only looks could kill.,.. man… that minister is sooooooo dead…anyways… after paying him another 1500.00 which was the agreed payment at first… we paid 4000.00 again.. geeeeez.. we had bargained for a thousand less) that was a total ripped-off!!!

But at the end of it all!!!! We’re married! And that’s all that matters… we paid max’s around 4thousand… so much food… even had doggy bags.. J only 10 attended our wedding but its all worth it.. pictures were taken (of course!!! Very important… proofs remember???) well… enjoy some of the pictures below… and may our love story inspire you guys out there who are in the same boat as we are...

More to come… wedding was just the beginning of our married life… and now we are… Husband and Wife….
