The Pamalay

last December 2008 was my first vacation after being away from home for a year. Moyo and I decided to announce our engagement and planned wedding officially to the whole family. but since it was also my sister's wedding that month, we scheduled it a week after so to give time for my parents to at least breathe :D

then it happened last December 24, lunchtime. it was supposedly scheduled a day before but his father had a problem booking a ticket to Cebu. but nonetheless, "the pamalay" finally happened.

it was a day full of blessing for us both. though we didn't exactly know what to do and say, we still made it through. it was heartwarming to see both our parents and relatives discussing our union. we're both happy it turned out really well and smooth. no objections from both sides except for his mother's request to check the moon on our planned date. good thing it turned out to be a full moon on December 30...whew! or else, it would result to a long discussion.

what made it really memorable was the fact that both our parents wanted the wedding to happen on an earlier date. not only that, they wanted us to have a civil wedding too before December. we're not so sold out with the idea but we ended up not arguing at all. so what happened next was we went to the Municipal hall to file our marriage license..hahaha! (this is for our compliance of the appearance requirement since I will be back in Singapore). we went home literally shocked why we did that. we were both asking ourselves if we really want a civil wedding. (answer to this question will be in my next post :D )
