THE WEDDING VOWS

"Hindi man kita mahal araw-araw, aminin mo may mga araw na gusto kita isauli sa tatay mo pero pipiliin at pipiliin ko pa rin makasama ka sa araw-araw.
"Mahal kita, walang iba. Thank you for making my dreams come true.”
She also quipped, “Sa dami ng pinagdaan nating dalawa, auto pass na ang pambababae mo. Lumingon ka sa likod mo, susumbong kita sa mga ninong ko.”
Gerick, for his part, took a stand, deadpanning his bride's joke: "Beb, una sa lahat mahal kita at walang iba.
"Walang maiiba sa pagmamahal at tiwala na ibibigay ko sayo. Maraming salamat sa mahabang panahon.
"Labinlimang taon na naging parte ka ng buhay ko. Sasamahan kita sa hirap at sa ginhawa, tatapusin natin ang buhay na ibinigay satin nang masaya at may pagmamahalan.
"Kung may dumaan mang lungkot, sisiguraduhin ko rin na matatapos natin ‘to. Mahal kita. I love you at walang iba.”
