"To Love Is Not To Look At One Another But To look Together In The Same Direction ."

Abella-Arellano Nuptial, the moment Rolly and I were waiting for nine years, a union that binds us as one. Wedding is one of the most awaited, fascinating but expensive ceremony ofor two lovers, but for us commoners, it was likely just a dream. Love is the condition in which happiness of another person is essential to your own. We learned to work hard and independently to prepare for this special celebration and our future family. For two years, we bought a lot in Bulacan, managed to buy a car and finally, set a wedding plan.

Nobody knew about our plans from the very beginning. We believed that beautiful weddings need not too be costly. We didn't plan that after the celebration, our married life would start with heavy debts or simply flat broke. We limited our guest for financial reasons and at the same time we wanted to be witnessed by people that really became a part of our life. No show-off ika nga! We're not celebrities. We didn't like our wedding to be extravagant that guests would criticize. We wished our guests to be fascinated and inspired in our wedding. And this was how it started.

OUR WEDDING RING was the first thing we decided to order 7 months before the wedding.

ONLY TIME
Enya

Who can say where the road goes,
Where the day flows, only time?
And who can say if your love grows,
As your hearth chose, only time?

Two souls with but a single thought

Two hearts that beat as one

TO OUR DEAR PARENTS:

The moment has come for us to start on our own. Though it may seem just the two of us we know that in truth, you are always there, for we will never forget the good things that you’ve shared us and next to the Lord. You will always be there to guide and enlighten us on the path that we are abut to take. Thank you very much for the love and support.

…Today we begin the rest of our life
Together forever as husband and wife.
Our dreams came true, with love and more
Adventures to have and the world to explore.

We’ll share our joys, we’ll share our sorrows;
We can already see many bright tomorrows.
We’ll share our friends and family, too,
And you are part of that special crew.

Thank you for celebrating our wedding day.
As we share our vows, we just want to say:
These wedding memories will become a treasure,
And seeing you here is part of the pleasure.

LIKE THE LEAVES ON THE SUMMER BREEZE,
OUR HEARTS ARE UPLIFTED BY LOVE!
