CHAPTER 36 – I Do
Follow Your HeartFinally, the moment they have been waiting for has come. Hundreds of guests were gathered at the Manila Cathedral.
As Kim marched down the aisle, she can’t help but release tears on her eyes. She is crying happy tears. She had dreamt of this a thousand times before.
A song entitled On This Day is played as they march down the aisle….
Here we stand today
Like we always dreamed
Starting out our lives together
Night is in your eyes
Love is in our hearts
I can't believe you really mine forever
Been rehearsing for this moment all my life
So don't act surprised
If the feelings starts to carry me away
On this day
I promise forever
On this day
I surrendered my heart
Here I stand take my hand
And I will honor every word that I say
On this day
Gerald, on the other hand felt tears on his face. As he witness his bride who looks perfect than ever walking down the aisle to meet him and take her forever with him, he can’t imagine life without her. He longed for this moment.
When Kim met him in front of the altar, they stared at each other for a while, smiling. Their eyes speak for each other’s love.
Not so long ago
This heart was just a fill of cold & lonely space
Without you
Now everything's all right
Now everything's refill
And the story of my life
Is all about YOU
So if you feel the cool winds
Blowing through your nights
I will shelter you and forever
Here to chase your fears away
On this day
I promise forever
On this day
I surrendered my heart
Here I stand take my hand
And I will honor every word that I say
On this day
She finally hooked her arm on his then they marched towards their seats.
The church is filled with butterflies. The romantic feeling of the two as they march down the aisle is so intense which made everyone cry.
During the entire wedding ceremony, Kim and Gerald would glance at each other and smile.
“I now pronounce you, husband and wife… You may know kiss the bride!” the priest announced joyfully
Gerald cupped her face, neared his face so his lips could meet hers. Kim welcomed his kiss and responded equally. They kissed tenderly which made the guests clap and holler.
Camera flashes are around. Their friends and relatives congratulated them both.
At the reception…..
“Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Anderson” Ashley hugged both of them. “Finally!”
“Thanks Ash! We’re glad you came!” Kim said
“Congrats pare……, Kim! I wish you both happiness. I want to take this time to say sorry to you two. Especially to you Gerald. Sorry for the bad things I caused you” Xian said sadly
“Don’t worry pare. Matagal na yun. Let’s forget about it.” Gerald said
“Siya nga pala, thanks for inviting me here. Sana maging ninong ako ni baby”
“Oo naman! It’s our pleasure to have our baby a galanteng ninong na katulad mo” Kim laughed
“Oh, and by the way, I would like also to introduce you to my girlfriend. She’s with me. Im sure kilala niyo siya. Lalo ka na pare” Xian excitedly blurted
“Talaga?! Im so happy for you” Kim said
Xian went near a familiar girl talking to Gerald’s mom. Gerald’s eyes widened as he see them walk together to where he and Kim are.
“Hi Kuya Ge! Ate Kimmy! Congrats sa inyo!”
“Ca..Camille? Boyfriend mo si Xian?”
“Yes kuya. Matagal na kaming magkakilala. Sa States pa lang. A month before your wedding umuwi ako dito from States and dumeretso ako sa GenSan. Nung nagkita ulit kami nito (he elbowed Xian and smiled at him) masyado atang nainlove sa kagandahan ko. So ayun! Niligawan ako, agad agad!” Camille said
“At di ka man lang nagpakipot! Sinagot mo rin agad agad!?” Gerald
“Eh, hindi niya ko matiis eh!” Xian blurted
Kim was just listening to them when Gerald noticed her uncomfortable
“Hey, baby. Don’t you remember Camille? My cousin. Siya yung kinwento sa yo ni mom na pinagselosan mo nung first dinner natin together with my family.”
“Ha? Ayy! Oo nga pala! Ikaw pala si Camille! Im glad na makita ka!”
Camille hugged her tight “I missed you so much ate Kimmy. I miss our girls night outs!”
“Hayaan mo, we have all the time to catch up!” Kim said politely
“Sige guys, talk to you again later! Lika na baby” Gerald interrupted
