My Road to Forever: My Wedding Vow
November 28, 2015 marks the day of my church wedding day. Prior to this special day, my ex-boyfriend turned husband and I had our civil wedding last September 21, 2015 just for the purpose of an easier and faster way of preparing our requirements.
Preparing for our church wedding was not easy due to the time constraint and on the actual day of our event, everything was not perfect but I was happy to be able to spend the day with our family, relatives and our godparents. Unfortunately, due to some uncontrollable circumstances, I was not able to deliver the vow that I have written for my husband. So... here I am, sharing it through my blog. :)
They say that in a relationship, one always loves more than the other. Well, I guarantee you that I will continue competing with you on being that one who loves more because I know you will also do the same.
So, I think I did not end up making any vow at all. I am scared to make promises I cannot keep. But one thing I can promise is that I will try my best to be your wife, your gym partner, your cheerleader, your best friend, your children’s mother and anything I can be to you. I will support you in anything you want to do just as long as it is not illegal or anything or it is something that is within our capacity. Just remember that I will always be here for you no matter what.
This is going to be a new life for both of us. A new chapter. There will still be things that we are yet to learn about each other. Things that we would disagree about and definitely argue about. But I am positive that you are with me when I say that whatever we will go through, we will try to work it out. No matter how hard things will be, we will not leave each other. We can compromise for the sake of the relationship because this is not about just "I" anymore; this is now you, me and our soon to be little angels. Everyday that I am with you, I will choose you.
I love you more than I could ever tell you and show you and I love how much I could feel that you love me so much too. God is just blessing me with so much and I hope you feel the same way too.

I found it difficult to write this vow even though I have already told you that I have been preparing mine. And I know that you are having a hard time preparing your vow for me. To be honest, I was not sure if there are still things left unsaid between the two of us. But I actually started writing this vow on that night when I couldn't sleep. It was the day after our civil wedding day. And it ended a few days before our church wedding day.
I could still clearly remember how the two of us have met. It was thanks to dragon boat paddling. I offered to buy paddles for our team then, the Accenture Dragon Boat Club in Singapore. You were one of those who asked to buy one though I did not even know you then. When everyone else already claimed theirs and you still had not, I added you on Facebook so I could follow up. Funny you thought I added you because I had a crush on you. Pero sige na nga naisip ko din naman nun, "uy pwede." But now, I am glad I did not give up on pestering you to pay for that paddle. I was so close to selling that pesky paddle to someone else. I am glad that paddle made you go back to attending our dragon boat training. Because of that paddle, you and I had an interesting way of meeting each other.

I would never believe back then that you would be the guy who would be standing with me in front of the altar. You looked super suplado and mysterious though you tend to make the people around you laugh. You are a lot different from what I expected, but in a good way. I am your first girlfriend and no one could believe it. Mukha ka kasing babaero, babe.
People around us told me then that you were interested but I wasn’t sure. You caught my interest but I try not to show it because I was scared of you. I wasn’t sure if you’d want to get into a serious relationship. You were so mysterious and I was scared to get rejected. Yun pala, torpe ka lang. I’m just glad everything worked out. You are definitely more than I could ever ask for.

Being with you has been very simple and I feel very contented. Not perfect and not easy but definitely worth it. And that is what I really like about our relationship. I'd like to think we have met at the right time: it was so far the best version of myself at that time and you were ready to be with someone. I have been in so many relationships before that, I would have to sadly but gladly say, have failed. And when I got together with you, I did not expect anything but it feels like I am getting everything I want and need and more. Even during our early days, it already felt like we have been together longer. People are even telling us that we look alike that they’d often mistaken us as brother and sister. Napagkamalan pang officemate natin si Son Son tapos magkapatid daw tayo.
I remember those dark days when I, or WE were fighting a legal case against an ex boyfriend. We've only been together for a few months then but you never judged me. You stood by my side along with my family until the end. Nobody knew what I was going through then but I was able to go on with my life normally and other people perceived it there was nothing going on. You fought with me and you had let me lean on you for strength. You were there even if that fight took years before it ended. And it had only strengthened our relationship. I remember my mom saying during those times that maybe God finally gave me you because He finally decided it’s time for me to rest from the many heartaches I had gone through and it’s time for me to be truly happy. And I really REALLY agree with her on this.

I just love my adventures with you. I enjoy more the things we like to do and you introduced me to more exciting activities. You agree to travel with me anywhere I want to go even if we get very spendy sometimes. We tend to be kuripot so we could save up for our travels. I also love that about us that we care about saving and investing for our future and for our baby. It is such a big deal for me.
Everything just feels better with you. I feel better as a person and I am driven to better myself even more. I love how closer I have become to my family now that I am with you, how willing you are to spend a lot of time with my family and how you have also willingly introduced me to your family. You are the one and only guy that my sisters have approved and that means a lot to me.
I love how we support each other with our goals no matter how crazy we could get. You will always be my powerlifting champion and for me, you will always be super gwapo and hot kahit maging dadbod ka na.
But everything is simple with you and that is what I love the most. I am sure I have told you this before but I cherish the moments when we would just lie down on bed before we sleep, cuddle and just talk. I never get tired of it. I really appreciate it when you would wake up early in the morning even when you just came home from the office at 3 in the morning to drive me to work so we could save money for parking. I appreciate it that even if we don’t obligate ourselves to tell each other's whereabouts, you would still tell me yours so I wouldn’t worry. I am thankful for the trust and understanding that we have for each other that you could even honestly tell when you spotted a pretty girl and I actually don’t mind. I love how we could leave our phones lying around and not worry what the other would see. That even if we're mad at each other, you would still take care of me. I appreciate the very little things you do for me such as buying my medicines or anything I need even before I ask you to do it. These are simple things that matter so much to me that I truly feel can enrich our relationship. Just small things that are building up to this great thing that we already have and even greater things we hopefully will soon have.
