Wedding Path: Walking Down The Aisle

Every wedding that I attended, the favorite part I love is when the groom looking at his bride walks down the aisle. It is the most remarkable part of a wedding ceremony. A man patiently waiting for his bride. Admiring her from a distance and thanking God finally here she comes. 



As I stepped down from my bridal car, a sudden gush of emotions sets in. My heart is pounding like I am having panic attacks. I used to be a competitive person but this emotions were very rare. It was more than a school quiz bee. More than a licensure exam. More than a basketball tournament. I breathe in and out deeply because I am about to cry. Then Mariko saw me and she was surprised to see me and she uttered beautiful compliments and she cried. I cannot help myself, I started to cry.

Then I heard Steve, "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my beautiful bride." To my surprise, he sang the bridal song "As Beautiful As You".



As I walked down the aisle, I cannot prevent myself from crying. I am in awe on how God loves me. The journey was a reminder that God has greater plans for us and he made everything beautiful in His time. Ate Pen, our head coordinator, told me to "walk slowly" and smile. I am so blessed to see the people who loves us to witness our wedding. My Dad and Mom walked down with me. My Mom never stopped crying. She just whispered to me, "I love you, Ate!" 


After Steve sang, he embraced his parents and it moved my heart. Leaving our parents and start our own family is not that easy. Steve embraced my dad and says, "Thank you, Papa!" And he also embraced my mom. I never stopped crying. I was so worried about my make-up!!! Thank God waterproof make up were invented!!!

"You are so beautiful", as my groom uttered.

It is one of my prayers on that day, that I will be beautiful and shine for Jesus then next to my husband. It is by God's grace and love that everything made perfect. Thank You Lord!!!
