c L a h c L a h: The 14 Years in the Making Wedding

In life, we get to meet our One Young Love, One True Love, One Great Love and One Eternal Love. For most, one would find these from four different persons. But ever heard of people finding all of it in one? Yeah, sure you do – in telenovelas, movies or fairytales. Right? :)

Last December 8, 2011, together with my former classmates, I was invited and got the chance to attend to my 1^st year high school adviser’s 14-years-in-the-making-Wedding. Yes, they’ve been together that long. And from what I learned during the occasion, they were each other’s childhood sweetheart, became lovers and everything was history. Wow. Rare isn’t?

The couple work overseas ., so I guess, that explains the passport like invitation :)

A lot of people have fallen in and out of love several times and from different persons that sometimes, one can even barely distinguish who was their true love or greatest love. Many would even lose their faith in love. That is why I find the Leopando-Virtudazo nuptial really one-of-a-kind. So, who says it can only happen to fictional characters?

According to the couple, they have already faced countless trials and challenges along the way but, God has his own way and perfect time in revealing THE ONE for every person. Theirs was just like the Filipino saying, “Sa hinaba-haba man daw ng prusisyon, sa simbahan din ang tuloy”. FATE.

During the celebration, I heard their guests say, “Finally! Finally!” Those people must have anticipated long enough for this day to come and most probably, the couple do too. And for someone to wait for years just for this moment to arrive is really amazing ., very fairytale-like. DESTINY.

And from this event, I learned that Young Love never age as long as the couple maintain the “kilig factor” no matter how long they’ve been together; that True Love patiently waits; that your One Great Love is the one to whom your heart would always belong to; and that Eternal Love is a match made in heaven, blessed by God.

The Newlyweds :)

So now, I couldn’t help but dream of my own wedding and fairytale-like love story. I love Love! :)

Well, aside from learning more about Love, I am deeply grateful and honored to be part and witness this very special day in our adviser’s life. Imagine, after more than a decade of being her student, she thought of inviting us on this event. Sweet. :)

So since hindi nakakalimot si Miss ., we made sure not to miss THE wedding.
