ANG KASAL ay isang sagradong selebrasyon upang mabigyang basbas ang pagsasama ng dalawang taong nagmamahalan sa kabila ng mga pagsubok na dinanas sa buhay. A fantabulous marriage doesn't happen between perfect couple to corporate. It happens between imperfect couple that has willingness to accept the imperfections and understand the shortages of each party.

Agaw atensyon niyang sabi. Pagkuwan ay tinitigan niya si Katelyn. “Kasi tumatanda ang tao, so sometimes marriage can be bland. But as long as you both hold on to vows, respect each other, and love each other, I believe that is enough flavor and aspect of marriage.”

bulong ni Czedric nang sa wakas ay nasa tabi ko na siya. “Napakaguwapo mo rin ngayon,” sabi ko habang pilit na pinipigilan ang pagtulo ng luha ko. Bagong gupit siya na lalong nagpaguwapo sa kaniya. Agad-agad ay nagbigay na ng napakagandang sermon ang pari tungkol sa pag-ibig. “Marriage is not just about love; it is about commitment, sacrifice, and partnership.” Nang dumating na ang bahagi ng vows, si Czedric ang nauna.

Nag-isip muna si Sandra ng plano at solusyon sa problem ng kaibigan. “Kailangan i-confirm muna natin ‘to kung talagang totoo o baka nagkamali lang sila,” wika nito. “So, paano nga?” tanong ulit ni Farrah. “Balik ka sa PSA at kuhanin mo ang Marriage Certificate ninyo ng husband mo para makasiguro na totoo kasal ka,” sagot ni Sandra. “Nakasulat naman ang pangalan ng groom mo at ang date ng wedding. Si Damon Punongbayan ba ‘to na kilala at schoolmate natin noong college?” dagdag pa nito.

Now we both just use ourselves for our own interest. How will this marriage work if we are both in pain? Nanginginig ang kamay kong tinanggap ang kamay ng lalaking papakasalan ko. Parehong mabigat ang aming paghinga nang humarap kami sa altar. My tears welled up habang nagsasalita ang nagkakasal sa amin. Marahil ay iniisip nito na tears of joy ang mga luha ko katulad ng iniisip ng iba.

Buti pa siya ay nakakaintindi sa nangyayari. Sino ba naman kasing siraulo ang magpapakasal tapos hindi mo pa kilala? As in totally stranger pa sa buhay mo. Not me! "Wow naman pareng Justin, may punto ka riyan," ani ni Mark habang tinatapik ang balikat ni Justin at bahagyang tumatawa, pero isang malakas siko lamang sa tagiliran ang natanggap nito.

We didn't have a great start, but here we are, we're close to our ending. "True marriage is more than simply joining two persons together through the bonds of matrimony. It is also the union of two hearts and the blending of two families. It lives on the love you give each other and never grows old, but also thrives on the joy of each new day. Marriage is, and should be, an expression of love. May you always be able to talk things over, to confide in each other, to laugh with each other, to enjoy life together, and to also share those moments of quiet and peace, when the day is done. May you be blessed with a lifetime of happine

tanong nito na siyang nagpaisip sa kanya. Moments later, she shook her head. “No. Because marriage is a very sacred thing to do. It means tying up yourself to someone for a lifetime. So no. Hindi dapat minamadali ang pagpapakasal dahil lahat ng nagmamadali ay naradapa. It needs time, love, and effort.” Nakatitig lang ito sa kanya kaya naman nakaramdam siya ng conscious. “M-may mali ba sa sinabi ko?” wala sa sarili niyang tanong.

“A marriage. Hindi ito tungkol sa love. Hindi rin simpleng kasunduan. You’ll be my wife, and in return, your family and your company will be saved.” Humigpit ang kapit ko sa gilid ng mesa, ramdam ko ang panginginig ng mga daliri ko. Marriage kapalit ng utang? This is insane. Pero kasabay noon, alam kong halos wala na rin akong ibang option. “Hindi ako basta-basta papayag sa ganyan,” bulong ko, nanginginig pero pinipilit maging matatag. “This is my life we’re talking about.”
