Novel & Cerita The Rings

At ngumiti kami sa isa't isa matapos naming maisuot pareho ang mga singsing namin. Matapos ang ilang sigundong titigan ay muli naming narinig na nagsalita ito. "Now may those who wear these rings live in love all their days. Now may the love, which has brought you together, continue to grow and enrich your lives. May you continue to meet with courage any problems, which may arise to challenge you. May your relationship always be one of love and trust. May the happiness you share today be with you always. And may everything you have said and done here today become a living truth in your lives."

At pati ang sinabing- 'RING!' biglang sigaw ng kanyang utak sa naalala kaya siya napatingin sa kaliwang kamay. And there.....placed a pure crystal ring. With a small diamond carried on top. Her whole world started to wobble and then it stopped like it has been cracked. 'WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON?!'

sagot ko nang buong puso at walang pag-aalinlangan. "Do you promise to love, honor, cherish and protect him, forsaking all others and holding only unto him forevermore?" muling tanong ni Father Peter sa'akin. "Yes. I do," nakangiting sagot ko. Matapos ang palitan nang I do's, naming dalawa, dumako naman ang seremonyas para sa pagpalitan nang singsing; The ring is a symbol of the unbroken circle of love. Love freely given has no beginning and no end, no giver and no receiver for each is the giver and each is the receiver. May these rings always remind you of the vows you have taken.

“Loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, heart, and love from this day forward for as long as we both shall live.” “Wedding rings are made precious by our wearing them. Your rings say that you have chosen to be bound together even in your uniqueness. Let these rings also be a sign that love has substance as well as soul, a present as well as a past, and that, despite its occasional sorrows, love is a circle of happiness, wonder, and delight. May these rings remind you of the vows you have taken here today.”

“Nandito ka pa pala.” “Na-discharge na ako sa ospital kahapon. Nandito lang ako para makita ka…” Huminto si Ryleigh sa tabi ni Maisie at pinagmasdan ang hawak nitong box. “Yan ba ang wedding ring na… dinisenyo mo?” Tumango si Maisie. Ang pagkakapareho lang ng dalawang silver rings ay ang magkadugtong na gold thread design na nakaukit sa surface ng singsing, at ang extra diamond na nasa female ring ay bagay na bagay sa simple at eleganteng male ring.

“Itong mga nakapalibot?” “Opal.” Ice shrugged. “That was a customized ring that I asked for you. Opal symbolizes hope and you will forever be my hope… And the blue diamond. It symbols peace and royalty. You are the only one who could make me feel peace even how dangerous our lives is. And I really chose the ‘ice’ cut. It’s—” “You.” I giggled. “The ring is you, Ice.” “It’s us. No ‘me’ alone, Yumi. It will always be ‘us’ for me.”

“I do.” “Lord, bless the giving and receiving of these rings. May Pierce and Edith abide in Your peace and grow in their loving union. May these rings become the symbol of their endless love and remind them of the holy covenant they have entered into today, to be faithful and loving always. Amen,” basbas ng pari sa mga singsing. This is the end, and it will be the beginning of a new chapter for me.

We're married. "When you wear these rings, it tells the world you are united with each other in marriage. Since your rings have no beginning and no end, may they show that your love for each other also has no end. As you place the ring on each other's hands, please repeat this vow of love and devotion," I took the ring, my hand shaking and still covered with sweat.

"Ang buong imperyo ay sa'yo at sa mga anak natin. Ako man ay mananatiling sa'yo lamang." Inangat ko ang aking kamay at pinagdaop ang aking mga daliri sa kanyang palad na nakahawak sa aking bewang. Ang dalawang wedding rings—ang mga rings na minsan naming itinapon at isinumpa—ay nakasuot muli sa aming mga daliri, nagniningning sa ilalim ng sikat ng araw ng Switzerland bilang simbolo ng aming panibago at walang-hanggang kasunduan.

pilit kong boses, kahit na medyo naipit ang huling salita dahil sa matinding kaba. Inilabas ng ring bearer ang dalawang napakagandang platinum rings na pinalilibutan ng mga bihirang kulay abong diamante. Kinuha ni Alfredo ang maliit na singsing. Dahan-dahan niyang isinuot ito sa aking ring finger. Ang metal ay malamig, ngunit ang tamis at init ng kanyang mga daliri na pumulupot sa akin ay nagdulot ng isang nakatatakot na kuryente sa buo kong katawan.
