Novel & Cerita The Rings

“I heard you’re looking for the perfect wedding rings?” Ngumiti si Fin at mahigpit na hinawakan ang kamay ko. “Yes, gusto namin ng something elegant pero timeless.” Inilabas ng jeweler ang isang tray ng iba’t ibang wedding rings—may platinum bands na may simpleng diamond accent, may rose gold rings na may intricate engravings, at may white gold rings na may hidden gems sa loob. Kinuha ni Fin ang isang classic platinum band na may maliit na row ng diamonds. “I like this one. It’s simple but stunning.”

Natawa lang naman si father at muling nagpatuloy sa pagsasalita. "A ring is an unbroken circle, with ends that have been joined together, and it represents your union. It is a symbol of infinity, and of your infinite love. When you look at these rings on your hands, be reminded of this moment, your commitment, and the love you now feel for each other..." "Zionn, place the ring on Pazneah's finger and repeat after me: [Her name], I give you this ring as a symbol of my love with the pledge: to love you today, tomorrow, always, and forever."

sabi niya, at ramdam ko ang seriousness niya. I nodded, excited but also a little nervous. I slowly moved from case to case, running my fingers over the smooth surfaces of the rings. Ang dami talagang choices, ang hirap pumili! at makikita mo talaga na hindi basta basta ang mga singsing, halatang mamahalin lahat. Zach leaned closer, whispering, “Focus on the ones that speak to you, Mommy. You’ll know which is it.”

tanong ng judge ng salitan sa aming dalawa. CEREMONY OF THE RINGS "And now, seal your promises with these rings, the symbol of your life shared together." "Trinity/Gabriel, please repeat after me: "Gabriel/Trinity, this ring I give as a token and pledge, as a sign of my love and devotion. With this ring, I thee wed." salitan na salita namin habang sinusuot ang singsing sa isa't-isa. PRONOUNCEMENT & KISS

Inabot naman ang singsing namin kay Father at ito ay inabot sa amin. "Since ancient times, the ring has been a symbol of the unbroken circle of love, with no beginning and no end. Love given freely has no giver and no receiver, for each is the giver and each is the receiver. May these rings always remind you of the freedom and power of this commitment you make here today." Ani ni Father. Hinarap namin ni Noah ang isa't-isa. "Noah Oliver, I give you this ring, as a sign of my vow to love, honor, and cherish you."

Aniya habang ang mata ay nasa singsing. Isa itong silver ring na pinalilibutan ng maliliit na diyamante, at ang pinakagitna ay mayroong malaking heart shaped na bato. Wala akong ideya sa ganitong klaseng singsing kaya hindi ko masyadong alam paanong i-discribe. Basta sobrang ganda, feeling ko ay hindi bagay sa aking ring finger.

Tiningnan din ni Aeriza ng diretso sa mga mata si Jaydon. Oras na binitawan niya na ang salitang I do, hindi niya na maibabalik ang buhay niya bilang isang single. “I do,” sagot niya habang nakatingin sa mga mata ni Jaydon. Nang si Jaydon naman ang tanungin, hind siya nagdalawang isip na sagutin ang tanong sa kaniya. “Aeriza and Jaydon have chosen rings to exchange with each other as a symbol of their unending love. As you place ring this on Aeriza’s finger please repeat after me.” kinuha na ni Jaydon ang singsing at hinawakan na ang kamay ni Aeriza.

nakataas ang kilay na tanong n'ya rito. "First.., is the promise ring, second is the engagement ring and the third one is the wedding ring, assholes," sagot ng ina sa kan'ya at pareho silang inirapan ng kan'ya na ama. "Bakit may "s" mahal? Si Briggs lang naman ang pinapagalitan mo ah!" singit ng kan'yang ama.

It perfectly fits like it belongs there. “The fitting of this ring with its unending circle symbolizes my everlasting love for you. The placing of this ring on your finger is the fulfillment of my dreams to have you as a friend, my love, my husband, to live as one forever. With this ring, I give you my heart… From this day forward, you shall not walk alone. My heart will be your shelter and my arms will be your home.”
