Kianna Sanchez
Wedding Day.
The sun was shining brightly on the day of my intimate wedding. I had been dreaming of this day for so long, and it was finally here. I was surrounded by my closest family and friends, all of whom had come to celebrate this special day with me.
The ceremony was held here in the garden, with only a few rows of chairs for our guests. I was so nervous, but I was also filled with joy and excitement. I could feel the love in the room, and it was a beautiful moment.
My dad was the one who walked me in the altar, while Jad's parents are right beside him.
The ceremony was short and sweet, and I was so happy to be able to share my vows with my partner.
"I, Edrene Jad Sandoval , take you, Kianna Sanchez, to be my lawfully wedded wife. I promise to love you, honor you, and cherish you for all the days of my life.
I promise to be your lifelong companion and to support you through all of life's highs and lows. I'll be your closest confidant, lover, and best friend. For you, I will always work to be my best self, and I will always be open and honest with you. I swear I'll always be there for you, that I'll listen to you, stand by you, and cheer you on. I'll always be your biggest cheerleader and the first one to help you up when you fall.
I will always be your pillar of strength, your home, and my companion on all of life's journeys. I'll be your friend to laugh with always, your shoulder to shed tears on, and your arm to hold when you're in need.
This is my solemn vow."
And we exchanged rings and sealed our commitment with a kiss.
We're officially husband and wife. I am now married to the person i loved in a sec i reminiscence all of the challenges that we faced, and smiled while looking to the man i loved.
After the ceremony, we had a small reception in a same location but different spot. We had a few tables set up with food and drinks, and everyone was having a great time. We laughed and talked, and I felt so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life.
The day ended with a beautiful sunset, and I couldn't help but feel so grateful for the day. It was an intimate wedding, but it was perfect in every way. I was surrounded by love, and I knew that I had made the right decision.
"Congratulations anak." daddy greeted me with a smile
"Thank you daddy." i said while looking to my dad's new family
"Congratulations iha, i hope you will forgive us sa lahat ng kasalanan namin sayo." sabi ng bago niyang asawa at nginitian ko lamang sya
Nakita kong papalapit sa amin si Jad at may dala itong champagne.
"Edrene congratulations on your wedding." nakangiting bati ng bagong asawa ni daddy it was his secretary before.
"Thank you madam." sabi nya at bumaling ng tingin kay daddy, "Good evening, sir" nakipag shake hands sya dito
"Cut the sir" sabay tawa ng mahina ni dad "Call me dad or papa whatever you want, you are my son in law now."
"My pleasure sir, i mean d-dad" medyo hindi sanay si Jad nakikita ko sa kanya yun.
Lumapit si Jad sa akin at hinapit ako sa bewang, "May I excuse your daughter for a moment the cake cutting will going to start."
"Sure iho, let's go hon." sabi ng bagong asawa nya.
Ngumiti lamang si daddy sa amin at umalis na rin.
"You're beautiful, my life." ngiting sambit niya sa akin habang ang nakatitig ang nakakalusaw mga tingin sa akin.
"Life?"
"You are my life now, if I lose you and our children, I will die."
"You are my life too." sabay halik ko sa pisngi nya "Tara na."
Hinila ko na sya pagdating sa harapan kaunti lang kami dito family and friends lang talaga at photographer. Ang mga anak ko ay nandito rin hawak ni daddy si Khari at ang mama naman ni Jad ang may hawak kay Kaiden, parehas nila itong nilalaro at nagtatawanan sila.
Si Cheska na rin at si Linda ang nag host sa venue namin, "Good evening ladies and gentlemen." bungad ni Cheska
"We are here to witness the cake cutting of our newly wed Mr. & Mrs Sandoval." masiglang sabi ni Linda at nag palakpakan naman ang mga nandito.
"Go ahead here to cut your wedding cake, couples." saad naman ni Cheska
At pumunta na kami sa unahan ni Jad, "Okay ladies and gentlemen let's count in 3, 2, 1 cut the cake!" masiglang sabi nilang dalawa at kami ni Jad ay hinihiwa ang cake.
Hawak ni Jad ang kamay ko at parang ginaguide niya ako, madali lang ang pangyayari pagkatapos noon ay sinubuan namin ang isa't isa pagkatapos ay ang champagne toast naman namin.
Simpleng salo salo lang ang nangyari pagkatapos ay nag uwian na yung ibang kaibigan namin, si Reign at Caleb ay mag check in sa isang hotel kasama sila mama at papa. Ang daddy ko naman at ang pamilya niya ay uuwi dahil may aasikasuhin pa siya bukas.
"Kailan tayo lilipat?" tanong ko sa kanya habang tinutulungan niya ako na magpalit ng damit.
"The day after tomorrow, bukas ipapadala na natin ang ibang gamit na nandito alam ko naman na gusto mong dalhin ang iba na narito." nakangiti niyang saad
"Jad, gusto ko sana tulungan si Linda na makapag model siya may kilala ka ba na trusted agency?" sabi ko habang tinutupi ang mga sinuot namin kanina upang ilagay sa labahan.
Binuhat nya si Khari dahil umiiyak habang ako ay nagtutupi pa rin, umuwi kami dahil malapit lang naman ang wedding venue namin dito sa bahay.
"Yes, meron I will contact my friend."
"Thank you."
"Anything basta ikasasaya mo."
"I want to sleep." humihikab kong sabi
Nilapag nya si Khari at pumunta na sa kama "Tulog na ba yan bakit mo iniwan?"
"Yap, 'wag ka lang maingay."
Hindi ko na siya pinansin at nag kumot na ako dahil ramdam ko ang ginhawa ng katawan ko ngayon dahil sa pagod. Hindi pa man ako tuluyang lamunin ng antok ay naramdaman ko ang kamay niya na nasa tiyan ko.
"Hmm... what are you doing?" inaantok kong tanong sa kanya
"Honeymoon." ngising sabi niya
"I'm so tired."
"Okay we will sleep but promise me that we will spend our 1st week in Palawan for our honeymoon, yung tayong dalawa lang."
Hindi ko na maintindihan ang sinasabi nya at sumagot na lang ako ng oo.
"I love you my wife." malambing niyang sabi at hinalikan ang pisngi ko.
Nakapikit pa rin ako "I love you too, hubby"
"Damn! Magtitiis ako para sayo." nahihirapan niyang sabi at pinikit ko na ng tuluyan ang mga mata ko.
"GOOD MORNING my gorgeous wife, breakfast in bed." boses yun ni Jad naka topless siya at may dalang tray.
"Hindi ba ako dapat ang nagluluto?" tanong ko sa kanya
Tumawa siya ng mahina "You don't know how to cook remember?"
And it made me back from the reality and I pouted.
Lumapit siya at hinalikan ako sa pisngi, "I love you hayaan mo akong pagsilbihan kayo, I am the chef in our family so that's why I will going to serve my Queen a delicious food."
"B-But I am the wife dapat marunong ako magluto." malungkot kung sabi at pinaglalaruan ang mga daliri ko.
He lifted my chin and looked at me with his gentle eyes "I will teach you okay, that's serve as a bonding too."
"Thank you."
"Welcome my love, now eat your breakfast before it gets cold."
"Where's Khari and Kaiden?" i asked him while roaming my eyes around.
"Nandoon kay Linda at Matt sa baba sila nagbabantay."
"Baka gutom na sila?"
Hindi pa sila nakapag breastfeed kaya baka gutom na sila.
"Pinainom ko na sila ng gatas 'yung pump mo pa kahapon, nasa maayos naman yun na lagayan kaya hindi nasira."
Habang kumain ako ay nagliligpit siya ng mga kalat sa kwarto, maya maya pa ay nagsalita siya.
"Hmm... Love?"
Lumingon ako sa kanya habang nasa bibig ko ang kutsara.
"Hmm...."
"Lilipat na tayo tomorrow are you excited?" nag aalangan niyang tanong.
Natawa ako sa sinabi niya, "Of course, I am excited! Tayo ang magbabalot ng gamit today."
"Yeah, i know you would say that. Thank you, just finish your food first and i will help you fixed our things today."
"I love you, pumpkin." i giggled.
He laughed and came closer to me and kissed me on the lips, saying "I love you most, gumpy."
I am seeing the sweet side of him now, and i can't wait for more.
