Sandro _ Kiana wedding

I have attended a lot of lovely weddings but I have to say that the setting of the one between Lisandro Zaragoza Tolentino and Cristiana Pangilinan Valenciano held on the mountains of Antipolo has got to be the most breathtaking. Guests were dropped off the mountaintop and needed to traverse challenging steps to where the ceremony was held. Once down there you were surrounded by nature and old-time friends. We just saw you. I haven't seen you in ages. I saw you parking the car. How are you? I'm good. Lovely. So lovely. Before long the ceremony started with the arrival of the groom and his parents. The terrain lent itself marvelously. What could be more dramatic than Gary Valenciano, the father of the bride, presenting his daughter Kiana. The bride appearing and descending from a hilltop while her teary-eyed groom waited at the altar with Archbishop Socle Llegas who was officiating the wedding. And I by the glory of the church glory on all those present there's witnesses confirming this one the marriage which I contracted. Sandra and Kiana were actually already wed in a small civil ceremony last September but the couple wanted to share this momentous union with family and friends so for the rest of us that afternoon they were newlyweds. For those of us who weren't privy to their love story well here it is. Instead of talking to you for now I want to tell you all about my husband. He's a man of many questions. Oh thank you sorry I shouldn't have told you to sit down. But he is a man of many questions. Yesterday six years ago we were sitting across from each other in Acostol and he asked me well do you want to be my girlfriend or something? And I said I guess. Even before that one of our first nights together he said where would you want to be right now if you could be anywhere and I said Spain and he took me there four years later but on top of being a man of many questions he is a man of his word. After proposing to me in August he asked me to marry him every single day until our intimate ceremony on December 14. According to Siri that's 128. Will you marry me? Sometimes he still asks me in his sleep fall of bed just checking. Since then he's made me breakfast in bed more times than he hasn't. He makes me the best coffee even though we all know caffeine makes him question reality. He loves to host any number of my family at any given moment and if you know us you know it's a challenge. It typically comes with a side of hearing loss. If I even mention that I'm mildly interested in a new hobby or endeavor everything I need to succeed will be at our front door by morning. He sits through my rants, holds me through my fears, supports me through my traumas, intentionally reflects on my opinions, challenges my beliefs and embraces the parts of me I might have once kept covered. Ultimately giving me the space I need to heal my inner child. If you've seen Inside Out 2 he's the joy to my anxiety. He sees me, he hears me, he doesn't always understand me but he always loves me fully. I just want to make sure that everyone knows that and I want you to know that I know that and I feel it and I appreciate you. And while there are a great many things that we know we have to work on I also know this. I married the right man. God's absolute best for me. I'm so sure I did it twice. So Sandra, my already husband, I commit to continue the trying, the protecting, the serving, the loving. Not only through the best but also through the bad and the ugly because our God will always be greater. Thank you for always choosing me. I will always choose you. I love you. Love of my life. Wow we really got so closer. Inside joke, inside joke. After one year together you have taught me so much and you know I get so frustrated with myself because at times I can't fully communicate how much I love you. I try to lead with words but I vow to lead more with understanding and action. I vow to put my pride aside and recognize I will never fully understand what it's like to be you or grow up the way you did. I vow to learn more about you every day and simply be there for you. I vow to keep making the bed together in the morning and yelling hot bread when I throw you the last pillows. I vow to keep going to church with you and singing my heart out even though I know I can't compete with your voice. I vow to respect you, respect our parents and love you better than the way I've been so loved by them. I vow to choose love, to choose happiness and to cherish the gift of joy God gives us. I vow to love you, I vow to love you better. You are my miracle, like I said before you're my miracle. I make, I can't read my writing because I was writing so fast. You make me want to be the best version of myself and you push me to communicate the ways I never knew I needed. I love you, happy one year. Here we go. Thanks for being here. Hi. Hello. Yeah. While family and entourage pictures were being taken, guests were invited up to the Eugenio Lopez Center where the city view is absolutely stunning. There was a band set up for dancing later on but in the meantime we enjoy the cocktails. What a spread. I will, let me just take you first. Wonderful. It had to take this wedding for me to be able to see friends that I have not seen in a long time. Blue moon. Not only old friends but generations represented. And then the ending, the ending. How do you end it? Speaking of dancers. From the wedding to the cocktails, we were then invited to ascend to the function room of the center for dinner. The reception had such an elegant set up. Hosting the program were the bride's brother Paulo who of course directed the fabulous event and cousin Heartthrob Donny. Wow, these are the people who were invited to the showbiz wedding. Welcome everyone to the showbiz wedding. If you weren't invited last year, it's okay, you're here now. Yes, this is everyone who didn't make it to the cut. You weren't invited last year. I was, so that's why I'm here. You represent everyone who wasn't invited last year. That is true. Guys, you are the very special people in her life. And his life. Sorry, sorry. I have to get used to that. But yeah, welcome everyone to Ghana's happiness bloom since she met Sandro has been a true testament to the transformative power of love. He brings out the best in her and she in him, creating a love story that is truly special. Thank you. So we're always so it's always such a pleasure to be part of all this conference where you get all the latest news and all the latest and out of that love came Leia and Looch. That's a great picture. Don't we look good for our age? Thank you. After the sumptuous dinner, I needed to do a French leave because I had an early day the next morning. I hear that there were many heartfelt speeches dedicated to the couple dancing to the wee hours of the morning. Again, to my Inaana Kiana, I wish you and Sandro a lifetime of love and happiness.
