September 14, 2009 Cagwait White Beach Resort Surigao

Eight years have passed since then, and now we are entering into this new beginning in our lives. We are moving into our next level- a higher calling to fulfill-to be what God has commanded being no longer two but one in the matrimony of marriage.

The journey way up ahead may seem uncertain. But we are confident in this, that He who began a good work in us will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus- He has seen us through; and yes, He will always do.

Rhoze performs what she does best; as Tricia Mae is all-eyes watching her

The Bride is assisted by her Dad as she alights from the Car

Chai receives the bouquet as Ate Ed and Rhoze flash their wide smiles

She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away
Standing in the bride-room just staring at her.
She asked me what I'm thinking and I said "I'm not sure-I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."

She leaned over...gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there,
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk me down the aisle, Daddy-it's just about time."
"Does my wedding gown look pretty, Daddy? Daddy, don't cry!"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right.
To deserve your love every morning and butterfly kisses-I couldn't ask God for more, man this is what love is.
I know I gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses.

Chai's Dad gives his blessings to Joy

Let the Butterflies out! (Can you count the number of people in the picture?)

Note: We were actually waiting for the instruments to play "You Are", before proceeding to the altar. But then, they instead played, "Oh, the Glory of Your Presence". Didn't know why. We also, didn't ask them afterwards. But somehow, it proved to be the most fitting song at the Moment. "As His Presence Now Fills this Place"
