Simple and Solemn.
We had our wedding during the 6:00 AM, Monday mass . Walay bayad at all..
Since ang among entourage, sponsors is our family and co-teachers man lang, after the wedding, ni duty ra pud dayon sila. Gipadalhan lang ug pandesal 😊. Then pagkahapon, nag salo2x ginagmay.
Simple ra gyud ang tanan, pero ka nindot kaayo sa feeling..
It was early morning and pag-abot namo sa simbahan, nag fog pa. Foggy pero hayag ug hilom ang palibot. Mga tingog sa langgam ang madungog. It's really so simple and solemn nga mao gyud among gusto mahitabo. Ang importante, makadawat sa maong sacrament, ma bendisyonan.
Decorations: no decorations, no red carpet.
Wala nay paso2x sa bride ug sa tanan. Diretso na misa.
Hair and Make Up: Yours truly, lipstick lang, sapat na 😊
Dress: not a wedding gown, but it holds a special place in my heart since it's the dress I wore during the baptism of my son and with my daughter.
Wedding invitation cards, souvenirs: nothing, PM lang ug personal nga pag invite.😊
Boquet : Afternoon before the wedding, aysa pa nakadum2x nga mag-andam diay ug boquet😅, so mao pay pagpangita namo ug bulak. Thanks to Maam Jane Alas and her daughter, nakapangayo mi ug roses. Gipa bugkos dayon namo ni manoy. Human😊
Wedding ring: same ra sa among gegamit during sa civil wedding, which is dili gyud pud mahalon. Di maprenda 😅.
Belo: Thanks to Maam Josephine Floreta Montefalcon sa pagpahulam.
Cord, aras: pinalit lang sa Unitop, Mall of Asia 😅.
Photographer: my sister 😊
Mass presider: Father Danboy Batayola Arellano .Thanks father sa tanan.
Very simple yet so memorable.
After 7 years of being civilly married, we finally have received the sacrament of matrimony. Thanks to God.
Sa una wala namo masabti unsa kabililhon ang kasal, maong nag civil wedding lang.
Now we understand that marriage is important. It is sacred.
Among huna-huna sa una, walay ikagasto maong dili magpakasal. Until one day, sa sige nako ug tan-aw sa mga videos ni Father Darwin Anober Gitgano , didto ko daghan ug na learn ug narealize. Didto nako nasabtan unsa ka important, ka sacred ang kasal. It is a covenant between God and the couple. We need to receive the sacraments to be in a state of grace. Modagayday ang panalangin sa Ginoo kung kita anaa sa state of grace.
It's a sin to live together nga wala gikasal. Truth hurts but it doesn't harm. Evil can attack us when we are not in a state of grace. I have experienced it firsthand. But I also experienced healing after receiving the sacraments. Sacraments are very powerful because it is instituted by Christ. If we only know how powerful it is, maghaudhod kita sa simbahan sa pagdawat niini.
Tungod pud sa videos/talks ni father, nalearn nako nga pwede ra man diay magpakasal nga walay daghang gasto. So after adto nga mga realizations, nagdecide dayon mi magpakasal. Gihikay ang mga papeles ug nagpakasal 😊.
Naay mga butang nga simple, pero kita ra ang naghimo niini ug complicated.
It's not the ring, nor the gown.
It's not the prominent sponsors, nor the extravagant decorations.
It's not the long walk in the aisle that makes it valuable. It's the blessing from God. ♥️
I hope this helps to encourage partners specially those who wants to get married pero nagduha2x sa gasto.
Ad Dei gloriam!
