It was a beautiful summer’s day, the trees seemed to be dancing in the breeze, the birds were chirping softly and even the sun was shining brightly. The island was full of hustling and bustling tourists enjoying a well deserved vacation; along with them was a big group of people who had come to the island to celebrate the wedding of their two best mga kaibigan who were getting married on one of the most romantic spots ever, the Maui beach.
There were at least fifty close mga kaibigan and family assembled on the beach, each of them eagerly awaiting the arrival of the bride. A soft purple carpet was laid across the aisle and on either side were rows and rows of chairs for all the guests. Everyone was sitting in their seats talking in hushed whispers about the wedding that was soon to begin. Down the aisle where the minister stood behind the dais was the groom, dressed in a black tuxedo with a smile playing on his lips as he waited anxiously for his bride-to-be.
Suddenly, a young girl of about twelve dressed in a bulaklak girl’s dress ran over from the pathway that led from the resort to the tabing-dagat and whispered something to an older girl who smiled and then nodded. The bulaklak girl ran back.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention please.” the girl stood up and called out to everyone seated there, “The bride is on her way downstairs now…” she finished and sat back down.
“The bride’s coming…”
“She’s such a lucky girl…”
“Today is her lucky day, they both are perfect for each other…”
Whispers like these and many madami spread amongst all the guests as they all waiting with bated breaths for the bride.
A few minutos later, the musician saw a small line of girls heading down the pathway, and signaled to the other musicians to start playing. And so, along with the peaceful nature the melody of the music being played mixed in and created a feeling of harmony and love. As the music played, the girls drew closer with the bulaklak girl leading the line followed sa pamamagitan ng the maid of honor dressed in a beautiful rose kulay-rosas toga and the best man leading her down the aisle, at the end of the line were three bridesmaids dressed in identical kulay-rosas gowns and in the middle of them was the bride who was walking slowly down the aisle, a veil covering her face.
Everyone stood up as the bride walked down the aisle, trying as hard as they could not to continue talking. They all watched as the young bride dressed in a gorgeous white toga with a net veil began to walk down the aisle.
The music stopped as the bride reached the altar and stood face to face with the groom, the man she loved madami than herself, madami than her whole life. He took one look at her and knew that they were always meant to be. The minister began to speak and soon it was time for the rings to be exchanged, the maid of honor and the best man came pasulong with the rings and handed them to the bride and groom respectively. Once they had exchanged the rings, and the vows were completed, the minister spoke for the last time.
“I now pronounce you man and wife. You may halik the bride.”
The groom came closer and lifted the veil and looked into the eyes of his wife before leaning in to halik her. Suddenly… *ring* *ring* *ring*

Just you and I
The world was ours
Only for the night
We twirled beneath the starry sky
You held me close and tight
Not wanting to let go
Not wanting me to disappear
The music played for only two
We danced like never before
Cherishing our love
With the time we had
Our time to be together had ended;
You lived on Earth, I in Heaven
And yet, it seemed as if
We were always meant to be
With tears in our hearts
And pag-ibig in our eyes
Our lips met
Warm against cold
We danced one last time
One spirit one being,
A mismatched impossible pair
Still, full of love
In the end
You looked at me
I gazed back
And our hands touched
Not even death
Could keep us apart
Each time i vanished
I returned to you again
Another night, another day
Time was running out for you
Soon we would be together,
Forever and always.
