The original plan was not to make one but Ninong Chug said “If you are not going to make your personal vow, then when pa?”. I asked Roj if he wants to have a personal vow but he said he don’t know how to make one so better have an exchange of “I DO’s” na lang daw.
But things changed when we had our wedding counselling, Pastor Parulan told us to make one in order to make the event more special. We just agreed but I never did try to make a draft, not until the morning of my wedding day. You can even see it in our SDE that I was trying to make my wedding vows and it turned out to be one of the best thing that I ever compose. I keep of receiving a lot of text up to date informing me that that was one of the best wedding vow they have ever heard.
Roj, just search some samples from the internet and stumble upon a vow that perfectly suits the vow that he wants. Roj just can’t help but cry a bit during our vows. Buti na lang may dalang kodigo si Roj, kasi nung nagsismula sya umiyak ng konti daw nakakalimutan niya. After our exchange of vows, Pastor Parulan informed us that it is a good thing that we have a copy of our vows so if things go wrong we will always look back and be guided of the promise that we have for each other.
Allow me to share our wedding vows that makes our friends cry...
Khim: Roj, I thank God for this day because He provided a wonderful person to be my husband. He knew what I really wanted and what I really need. I’ve spent almost half of my life time taking good care of my siblings and family but then YOU came and suddenly SOMEONE TAKE GOOD CARE OF ME. I’ve spent almost half of my lifetime listening to other people’s problem and giving them advices but then YOU came and suddenly I HAVE A SHOULDER TO CRY ON.
Thank you for accepting me for what I am. Thank you for loving my family as your own. And lastly THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR FAITH, because through this we BECOME STRONGER!
I vow to be a good wife and prepare everything that you need every day. I vow to stand beside you in good times and especially in bad times. I will be your number one supporter in all your achievements and I will be your strength when you need extra push in times of trouble.
When we are old and our hair turns to gray, I promise that you will still be holding this very same hands that you are holding right now. And until my last breath, my last glance, my last sunshine, I promise never to let go of your hand, never to let go of our love, never to let go of you and never to let go of this marriage. This is my vow and I intend to keep this for the rest of my life. I love you mahal. I love you so much.
Roj: Ako po si Roj ay tinatanggap si Khim bilang maging aking asawa, my friend, my faithful partner and my love in the presence of God, our family and friends. I offer my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and especially in bad times, in joy as well as in sorrow.
I promise to support you in your goal, to honor you and respect you, to laugh with you and to cry with you, to love you unconditionally as long as we shall live. Till death do us part.
