Priest: Rev. Father Joseph Gil Alonso

Father Alonso

Peso Power   : Included in our church package
Side Kwento : Particular ako sa homily talaga. Must have sakin yung memorable na homily kaya mas prefer naming kung kakilala para may personal touch. Kaso yung priest na gusto namin di namin nahanap due to time constraint na din saka budget wise. Pinagdasal na lang namin toh..=>

NSDG provided the priest and were so happy to have Father Alonso celebrate the mass with us. Ang ganda lang ng homily. Up until now naalala ko pa rin yung mga sinabi nya. He ask Ronald (my hubby), if he would be given a chance to choose who to save between his mom and me, sino ililigtas nya? Hubby was caught in surprise. Sabi ni Father, "Ayusin mo sagot mo kung di, di na matutuloy ang kasalan.." Sabi naman ni hubby: "Ang hirap naman father.."  Luckily, tama naman sagot ni hubby. Sabi ni Father si FIL (father-in-law) daw ang bahala sa mom nya..=>

Hubby was asked to choose between me and his mom

Father also asked me if there's a 100% of love. How much of that 100% should be our shares? Ako naman ang nasurprise. Meeting kami ni hubby then sagot namin 50% each para equally divided.

Me and Hubby discussing our shares of the 100%..

Sabi ni Father, dapat daw it should be 80% sakin then 20% kay hubby. Most of the successful marriage usually comes from those couple na mas matiisin at mas mapagmahal si wife more than the husband. Father even asked both our parents to justify his statement.

enjoying the homily..

We were also surprised he asked us to say our personal vows impromptu.  Naku eh di kami prepare, pero kinilig lang ako sa sinabi ni h2b lalo na at si hubby un (na ayaw talaga ng vows). Mas maganda pala pag hindi scripted.Then father would crack jokes in between kaya tawanan tuloy. Like when hubby said he will love me even more.. Sabi ni father: “ baket di mo ba sya love noon?”  Tapos ako naman: "Mamahalin ko lahat ng mahal mo.." Sabi ni father :  “Mahirap yan, panu kung dalawa kau??” weheheh.. Si father ang bida sa SDE (same-day-edit-video) namin.. :D

our exchange of impromptu vows

During our kiss the bride moment. Father instructed hubby to kiss me 3 times then he said "Conservative kami dito ha.." wehehe Kaya tawanan tuloy sa loob ng church...=>
