I've been in a two day trip at Samal, Davao City last weekend. I was invited to attend the wedding of my high school friend and classmate, Greggy. I went there with my other classmates, Jeffrey, Meriel, Floribeth and Ronnel and his family.
Although the venue is far away, I still decided to go because as far as I know, they have a great love story. Greg and Joh are both Christians and I wanted to witness their journey to a new season, the season of marriage life.
The wedding started exactly 4:00 in the afternoon, their motif is turqoise and peach. I decided to wear my turqoise colored dress. Greg and his parents walked in the aisle first, I remembered Greg told his parents that we are his classmates back in high school while we greeted him Congratulations as he walked in the aisle. I saw his excitement and joy as he walks towards ever after with her bride, Joh. When Joh is walking towards Greg, Greg cried. His cry is for me an unexplained joy, that everyone who witness can attest.
The ceremony started with a prayer and followed by exchanging of vows. I will describe their vow as God-centered vows. I am so amazed with it, that somehow deep inside my heart, I want the same vow with them when I get married. Like them, I want God to orchestrate my love story and let God be center of my relationship.
As the wedding goes by, there is a beautiful sunset. I saw from the distance that Joh is smiling towards it and telling Greg of the beautiful sunset. Almost every one of us took a picture of it.
At the end of the wedding, when the Pastor declared them as husband and wife, everyone applauded. Pictures are then taken with the bride and groom.
After the wedding, we were directed to go near the beach for lighting the lanterns. Of course, since there are 200 lanterns to be lighted, I got one. Unfortunately, I fail to let my lantern fly. i guess, some kids got it and tried to fly it, but they failed to do so.
After the lantern, we are requested to stay put for a fire dance. Again, I am in awe because Greg and Joh made it sure that we will enjoy their wedding. We had our pictures taken together with the couple and the fire dance team. It is indeed the best picture I got for the night.
After fire dance, we went to the entrance of the function hall where cocktails are served, and photo booth is free for everyone. We also took picture of ourselves and tried to eat at the cocktail.
While waiting for the function hall to be ready, we went to our room and refreshed ourselves for the evening dinner. Then, we went back to the function hall and went to our seats and witness the program. The secondary sponsor had their dance intermission number and after a while, Greg and Joh entered the hall and had their first dance.
After that, we had our dinner. We also had our vodka drinks as they prepared each of us during the wine toast. I think I drank 4 shots of it and tried to enjoy the night.
After dinner and the program that night, we went out to witness the fireworks. It was great and it was a lovely evening as I witness how happy the couple is during the day. I am so much thankful to witness their wedding.
I pray that the couple will continue to let God the center of their lives for blessings and more blessings will come to them. Cheers and Best Wishes to the newly wed! As I am writing this, they are now enjoying their honeymoon at Singapore. May God bless them with cute and adorable children.
