The moment that I will forever cherish… to have and to hold.
I finally got the chance to share with you my dear hiver’s about my most cherished moment in life. I know that everyone has their own storyline of life that we treasure the most. And we are all blessed enough to have it despite the imperfections of our foundation.
Let me introduce the man with whom I spend almost half years of my life, my constant, and my forever partner in life, my husband Arc Frances. We’ve been together now for 15 years; we are actually high school lovers. Who would’ve thought that we would finally tie each other? It wasn’t a smooth sailing relationship at all because obviously we both have our imperfections and flaws. I’m not really sure about how I’m going to compose my words here because it was like 15 years together, and for me, it is a very long time to sum up everything.
All I know, though, is that we are all bound to capture memories and lessons throughout our lives. While some are lessons to be learned, others are blessings. As the years went by, I could say that we enjoyed each other’s company and were able to overcome each other’s shortcomings. Now, I even realized that those shortcomings are the most special area of our relationship because that’s where we learn to build our foundation and how to understand each other more.
In the year 2015, my husband proposed to me, and at that time I could say that we were still young, but I’m sure that we were both already firmed by our decisions and feelings for each other. It was an overwhelming part for me because all that comes to mind is the uncertainty of tomorrow. I wasn’t certain about how we were going to stand sturdy to every storm that was bound to come. But all I did was close my eyes and say, “This is it.” I’m going to take this and be ready. So yeah! We had our civil wedding year 2016 with the blessings of our both parents.
And after a few years from our civil wedding, we both decided to exchange our vows at the church. It was a sudden decision for us because we are weighing if we are going to build our house first or if the church wedding should come first. It was a tough decision for us, of course, because we cannot do both at the same time due to financial reasons. But we finally decide to have our church wedding because we also consider that we wanted our parents to witness us to walk down the aisle, especially my mother, who is now paralyzed.
The crucial part here is that we only have one month to prepare for the wedding since my husband came from overseas, so we only had a very short time to prepare, but thankfully I found my wedding coordinator named Weddings and Beyond by Sir Alexander, who is very considerate about all my requests despite the short period of preparation. Our wedding was held at St. Francis of Assisi Parish Church, located in our hometown, where we both were baptized as Catholics. It was smooth planning because our coordinator is very keen on every detail, especially those things that need to be prepared.
Why Maroon and White?
Ever since I love the classic color of maroon, and I really don’t know why. For me, it really looks elegant and sophisticated, with a touch of redness that symbolizes happiness in life. I combined it with the color white to complement calmness and sincerity.
Our wedding ceremony was indeed a treasured moment for us couple because our parents, relatives, and friends got to witness as we exchanged our vows. A day before the wedding, I even promised myself not to cry during the ceremony, but I failed to comply. The moment when I got off the bridal car, I could no longer explain the feeling while walking towards the entrance. It was an overwhelming moment when I got to see the people I love looking at and waiting for me to walk down the aisle. It was also the moment when I saw my husband’s teary eyes; maybe we both felt the tears of joy. The overflowing happiness.
My heart is full even by just looking at the pictures. I can even recall the mood, weather, and atmosphere during that time. That’s how I painted it in my heart and mind. Again, we are all bound to collect memories and lessons in life, so in our phase right now, I no longer mind what the future holds; what’s important to me is the life I have at the present time. If it is the season to cry, then cry; if it is the season to be happy, then be it. Life is not designed to be happy all the time. We all have our seasons. So cherished every moment because it could be a blessing or a lesson.
At the end of the day, I still choose you…
