"All this I promise to do." She arose out of her chair, supported as before. The sword of State being carried before her as she walked to the altar, and made her solemn Oath in the sight of all the people to observed the premisses: laying her right hand upon the Holy Gospel in the great Bible, which was before carried in the procession and is now brought from the altar by the Archbishop, and tendered to her as she kneeled upon the steps. "The things which I have here before promised, I will perform and keep, so help me God," she said before kissing the Book and signing the Oath.

“Ikaw ang sacred space ko. At ang dagat at langit ang ating altar.” Naglakad sila palabas. Ang altar ay ang beach mismo. Tanging isang small bamboo arch ang decor, na dinisenyo ni Lia, draped ng local flowers. Ang witness nila ay isang simple at wise na priest mula sa kalapit na parish na nakakaintindi sa kanilang kuwento. Habang ang sunset ay painting ang kalangitan ng kulay gold, crimson, at violet, nagsimula ang ceremony. Ang priest ay nagbasa ng passage tungkol sa resilience at unconditional love.

kusang tumulo ang luha ko at ngumiti dito. "Ngayon na pareho ninyong ipinagkatiwala ang inyong mga sarili sa isa't isa at sa inyong Banal na Unyon sa pamamagitan ng mga sagradong panata na inyong ginawa at sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay at pagtanggap ng mga singsing na ito..." "...those whom God has joined together may he generously bless forever. I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride!"

"Prayers strengthen one's heart and faith, Quaro." He crossed his arms across his chest. "Elaborate." "You pray not because you wanted your wish to come true. Prayer is first and foremost a conversation between you and God. By praying, you gain strength. You realize that the world does not begin and end with you. You feel inspired to take steps of faith. And by praying, Quaro, you trust that God is with you." Kirsten then shook her head in disbelief. "I never expected you mistook God as Santa Claus who grants wishes."

Nasa halos 200 katao din ang invited ngunit lahat naman ng mga ito ay personal nilang kakilala. Nang mapuno na ang venue ay inumpisahan na ang pagbibigay ng blessings sa bagong kasal/newlywed na sinimulan ng Pari na siya ring nagkasal sakanila. "Our Father in heaven, we gather, today to celebrate the union of Miracle and Troy Lawrence Montefalco. We pray that you grant them love, understanding and unity in their married life. Guide them on your journey as a couple and fill their hearts with joy and love, Amen." turan ni Fr. Joseph.

Noong nakatayo na kami, sumenyas sa akin si daddy na ako ang mag-lead ng prayer. I took a deep breath and nodded, realizing that this was something I could do. As we gathered in the living room, I closed my eyes and began to speak, my voice trembling. "Lord our God, You are great and almighty. We come to You with humble hearts, pleading for Your mercy. Please keep Poppy safe from all harm and bring her back to us safely. We're lost without her. She's the light of my life, and I can't imagine a world without her. Give her strength, wherever she is. And give us the strength to keep hoping, to keep believing that she'll come back to us.”

we responded while holding each other's hands. Nanatiling tahimik ako that time na medyo pre-oocupied sa oras na iyon. Nasa isipan ko pa rin kasi ang sinabi ni Lawrence over the phone. "God forgives us for all the things we do bad, so together we pray; I confess to Almighty God and to you my brothers and sisters that I have sinned through my own fault in my thoughts and in my words in what I have done and what I have failed to do, and I ask the Blessed Mary, ever virgin, and all the angels and saints and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord, our God." Dinig namin mula sa pari.

Nagsimula lang ito tatlong taon na ang nakaraan. Ano ba ‘yan, problema na naman ba ang iisipin natin, Ayla? “The Lord be with you” “And with your spirit,” bahagya pa akong yumuko nang sumagot sa pari. “May almighty God bless you, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.” “Amen…” “Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life.” “Thanks be to God.” At namutawi ang mala-anghel na tinig ng choir ng simbahan. Yumuko ulit ako at nag-sign of the cross.

Abot hanggang taenga ang ngiti ni MaCon dahil sa wakas ay makasama na niya araw-araw ang mahal na asawa with their child. FINALLY! The two of them reached the altar, where the officiating priest is patiently waiting for them. Then he, the priest, started the ceremony. "In the name of the FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY SPIRIT. AMEN. "Good morning, my brothers and sisters in Christ. We are all gathered here to witness the sacred matrimony of Maria Concepcion Herrera and Clarence Keith Mondragon. But before we further on this ceremony, let me ask you first if someone of you here is against this wedding, if there is, you may now speak or else you will forever remain silent." Panimula ng pari.
