Matrimonial Rites Novels & Stories

“I’m not your typical damsel in distress, but I promise I will let you take charge as a head of the family we create. I will respect, trust, and support you.” Caio distanced himself a little. “Now, let’s perform the three bows.” Hindi naitago ni Alessia ang pagkagulat.

Cyril looked at her with so much love.

Are you ready to accept the responsibilities and sacred vows that come with it?” dagdag pa ni Father. “Yes, we are ready.” sabay-sabay naming tugon.

Kinakabahan ako, kanina ko pa nararamdaman 'to at halos hindi rin ako makatulog kagabi dahil sa araw na ito. "We are gathered together here in the presence of these witnesses to join this man and woman in matrimony, which is an honorable estate, and is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly but reverently and discreetly.

I saw my family.

"Since it is your intention to enter into the covenant of Holy Matrimony, join your right hands, and declare your consent before God and His church," the priest said.
