Amongst the handful of photos from our wedding album, this should singlehandedly picture how Jeff and I felt on the day we were officially called husband and wife.  Tell me, can a wife look giddier than this?  I still remember what I was thinking when I was watching my Jeff sign his name on that contract with eagerness, “This is for real, Jeff is now my husband.”  I was so thrilled, my cheekbones could have popped right there. 

:D

Our Wedding Vows

(08 December 2001)

I, Jeff, take you, Jennie, to be my lawfully wedded wife. Knowing in my heart that you will be my constant friend, my faithful partner in life and my one true love.

On this special day, I give to you, in the presence of God and all those in attendance, my sacred promise to stay by your side as your faithful husband.  In sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, as well as through the good times and the bad. And I further promise Jennie, to love you without any reservation, to honor and respect you.

To provide for your needs as best as I can, to protect you from harm and to grow with you, in mind and in spirit. To always be honest and open with you and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live.

    Sweeeet! Haaaay, marriage is such a lovely precious thing. When everyone said the wedding is the happiest day in your life, medyo totoo nga yun, no? I say “medyo” kasi ayokong maniwala na it’s all downhill from there hehehe and di na kami makaka-experience ng ganun happiness.

    But super saya nga ng wedding niyo ni Jeff. Ang kulet niyo pa–hinarana ka pa ni Jeff. Corny! Pero cute. Haha! And when he put on the ring sa finger mo, you just pumped that hand in the air in victory. Hahahaaa!
