unsung heroes

our wedding video has been in and out of our hts and pc for the past week. we’ve watched it a gazillion times, both the edited and the raw footages, and we still can’t get enough of it. 🙂 ganun naman ata talaga, eh. videos capsulize the wedding day and, if excellently made (like ours. 😀), present it in a cinematic way. watching it brings the couple back to their wedding day, one of the most significant if not the most significant day in their lives.

sarap mag-reminisce. 😉

and while reminiscing, we can’t help to be feel blessed… blessed by all the grace God has given us to make our day extremely special. kaya naman we are very vocal in showing our appreciation to those God used to channel His blessing through. even with a highly-detailed suppliers rating and an extensive thank you speech at our wedding, we had a feeling we might’ve left somebody out… and as we watched our wedding video, yun nga, we did fail to mention a few people. 😦

and so today, as the nation celebrates national heroes day, we think it’s quite appropriate that we ourselves give homage to our wedding day unsung heroes.


mommy rose. the matron-of-honor. when everybody else have left balai taal, mommy remained with the bride. she was the one who gathered and arranged all the ceremony stuff that was left at balai. sya na din syempre nagdala sa ceremony site at nag-ayos lahat. during the ceremony, whenever needed, she was there for selle. when everything was over, she was still there. hanggang sa pagdala ng mga regalo sa bahay namin, sya pa din. 🙂


mike. the best man. with the exception of pastor ado, he was the busiest during the ceremonies. handling the mic, the communion elements, the rings… and many more. hanggang ngayon nga d pa din namin alam pano napunta sa kanya wedding rings namin, eh. 🙂 after the ceremony, he became our unofficial backup photographer, snapping shots here-and-there. he also took care of all our wedding documents. 🙂


sapul siblings. a secondary sponsor, an usher and an usherette. daisy and julius were responsible for placing all the table cards… at 5 in the morning. since there was a mixup in transportation assignments, julius also became our instant bridal car driver… and their vehicle, our instant bridal car. mother (tintin) became our reception coordinator… instantly also. she was the one who thought of bringing the lcd screen at the veranda… an ingenious move. 🙂

these are people who are close to our hearts… and, as their actions suggest, we are close to theirs also. there were no direct assignments. there were no orders given. they themselves initiated to do what they thought would be nice to be done. and that’s what heroes are made of.

to our heroes, we are so blessed to have friends like you. if it ain’t obvious enough, we truly appreciate what you did on our wedding day. we truly appreciate your friendship. 🙂
