A LOCKED IN FOR LIFE 🔐To Love, Laughter, And A Happily Ever After⛪️💘
Falling in love is the bravest thing we could ever do. It is too knotty and it should never be underestimated.
Let me quote what the bible says,
*Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. 1 Corinthians 13
January 7, 2022. One of the extravagant occasions that made my day. My cousin’s wedding day!
A burgundy wedding theme, dark and deep. It symbolizes riches and royalty in a traditional wedding color from centerpieces to cakes, invitations, and decorations.
What a day full of love and laughter.
San Agustin Church is located inside the historic walled city of Intramuros in Manila. It was completed in 1607, it is the oldest stone church in the country. Its wooden door is carved with religious symbols. The church also has 14 side chapels, a pulpit, tombstones on the flooring, and the 18th-century pipe organ.
After the church wedding, RECEPTION! Here we come.
Upon entering the venue, a coffee bar beside the including caramel macchiato, cold coffee, milk teas, and other beverages.
A photo booth at the right side corner of the venue, I am sharing with you some of the pictures of my mom and my sister.
And of course a group picture of the bride and the groom!
Thanks for having an open bar including us on your big day!
An unlimited cocktail drink for all! Flaming shots, shooters, Tsunami shots, Glass tube shots, beers! Keep it up for the Extreme Mixers!
I am looking forward to more occasions like this, quality time spent with your loved ones means a lot.
Attending the wedding of a cousin made me realize some of the topics I need to discuss before marriage:
Personal History
Having a relationship for a decade, I am capable and all-knowing what kind of person he is. And I take this as one of the things a couple must know.
Starting a marriage while keeping secrets from your past is a recipe for disaster. Bringing up the past out of the closet shows trust as well as your commitment to honesty in the relationship. Family, health, alcohol or drug use, gambling, or criminal activity are all issues that should be addressed right away.
Religion
How does religion affect your relationship as a couple?
This is one of the significant factors we need to consider before we enter into marriage.
Are you willing to change your religion for the person you love? If one person attends church regularly and the other does not, how will that work after marriage? How are you going to instill practices and beliefs in your children?
Money & Finances
I heard one of my Aunts talking about finances during their marriage. Financial issues are one cause of divorce.
If you are in love money is not a big deal, but in the real scenario, it is one of the arguments of the couple. And she said When you are going to settle down make sure you are financially stable. It causes trouble between you because you can’t support the needs of the family.
Parenting
Parents can help their children learn by encouraging and motivating them. It enables the child to be a positive, healthy, and life-long learner.
I am humbled by how they showed love that night. I felt sincerity in both of them.
When we love someone, we are not loving his looks but his capability to be a good father to our children.
There’s a moment in my life when I think I am too late and I don’t have enough time, but every time I talked to God and let him do the work for my life, I realize that I don’t need to rush things. I don't need to push things I am out of control. It will come and it will find me. It might not be when I want it to be but it will come the exact moment I am ready.💗
I realized that marrying should not be rushed, hence it must be something to be prayed for and think of a thousand times before getting into it. It is a lifetime commitment.

You're welcome @missellimac! Have a nice day 😊👍
I totally agree with all the topics you mentioned that needs to be discussed before marriage, cause love alone is not enough. Your values should also be in line with each other to make things work, indeed marriage is something that shouldn't be rushed and need to be prayed for. Hope one day you will find yours, (if wala pa 😅)
