28 years

28 years of marriage and wanting to still be together is not only about LOVE. It’s commitment. Committed to be together no matter what. We inis and pikon each other a lot of times, we get into each other’s nerve a lot of times, we hated each other, a lot of times. We annoy and irritate each other. But we also laugh together, make tsismis together, share our dreams and frustrations. We are good friends and cover each other’s back.

Sometimes we trace our steps backwards and wonder how we reached the “now”. We met in college. We were classmates in 3rd year but he started courting me the summer before our 4th year in college. 6 1/2 years later, we became Mr. & Mrs.

He said he wants to grow old with me. We’ll see, baka nakainom lang nung sinabi.

I’ve decided to have a quiet celebration with just the four of us. We first heard mass at Christ the King Church, then dinner at the Hyatt Hotel.

Church’s ceiling decor, I love blue.

Sp0nsors/donors names are written on the parol

entrance to the hotel

Pencil sculpture

Art centerpiece made of ballpens. Proceeds from the sale would go to a school.

Waiter, ano ba masarap dito na below P5,000 per order? Sa dami ng mga zero parang nabusog na ako.

I found their butter tray so adorable.

Anak, can you please teach me how to photoshop? dami kong rinkols.

The waiter was convincing me to get “sides”, eh yun naman pala they would give us complimentary potato gratin. Thank you but I was so full from the bread and salad, I couldn’t finish my chilean sea bass.

This was the biggest steak I have ever seen. We brought home the buto and gave to Lucy, our dalmatian.

After Edmund paid, he smiled as he whispered “kala ko sabi mo hindi na lang tayo magha handa at ibigay na lang natin sa mahihirap?”
Me- next year sa Jollibee na lang tayo tapos yung ma se save mo, ibili mo na lang ako ng regalo.

By the way, our wedding reception 28 years ago was at the Hyatt Hotel in Roxas Blvd. I heard this hotel is now called Midas Hotel.
