THE MAID OF HONOR SPEAKS

One of the reasons why I resigned from my career as a flight attendant is to witness Ina & Troy tie the knot.

As Ina's Maid of Honor, here's what I had to say:

I have never been married but my experience in life as a child, a teenager and an adult has made me view marriage in many different angles.  

Here’s my story for you.

Weddings are not just about elegant gowns, beautiful photographs and nice receptions.  They are big days, yes they are, but they are also the small details in the everyday life of a husband and wife.

It’s all about good times, and the not so good times.

It’s when the husband gets out of bed at two in the morning just to get his thirsty wife water from the refrigerator.

It’s when the wife cooks for her husband even if it’s just hotdog and egg or even pancit canton.

It’s when you make time to sit and talk and have coffee together even after ten years.

It’s about being partners in life --- whether you win a five hundred million lottery or lose everything you have because of a tsunami.

Marriage is “You give, I take, as well as, I give, you take.”

TROY & INA:  In this world full of temptation, I know you’ll make a difference. 

May the good and happy times outweigh the problems along the way.  Enjoy the foreverness of your tie with God as the core of it.

CONGRATULATIONS.
