The Proposal... Album

Here's The Proposal, in long-overdue pictures. :)

Prayer Request 01: The Pamamanhikan

In about 8 hours, Dong's family will be meeting with my family here, at home in Pasig, for the traditional Pamamanhikan. Please do pray for the following:

For a knitting of hearts between the two families
For a happy time together
For clear communication and coordination about wedding details that need to be discussed

The Proposal

At midnight of Nov. 2-3, at KayAnne's rooftop in San Pedro, Laguna, Dong and I got happily engaged. Here's how it happened (the long version, for some who's already familiar with this story)

I didn't become a Bride-zilla. Praise God, and thank you to everybody who prayed! Now what?

I'm keeping this blog, that's what. Because things just got even more exciting. And it'll be nice to share how married life is so far for us newbies - with family members whom we don't see or talk with often, and with friends who are on this same exciting leg of life. Plus, I want to keep remembering details like Dong's versions of wise sayings and the lower back pains I got from jogging so hard one night because I was getting annoyed with him. I'm convinced that the first year of marriage is made up of the kind of stuff that will send your kids rolling on the floor with laughter on every re-telling. The same stuff that you can use as blackmail material in case your husband attempts to cut down your shopping budget. Kidding.

I'm keeping this blog because, as the wise saying goes, "a short pen is better than a long pen..." Ooops. There goes one of Dong's versions.
