"Ma'am Sarah, this way po." Ika ng event organizer na sumalubong sa kanya.
"Uhmmm, I'm just wondering, have you seen my wife?", pangungusisa niya sa babae na kaharap niya ngayon.
"Yes Ma'am! And I am task to bring you to her. But, for the mean time just bear with me ok? I'm Jennie and this is Liz, uhmm, Liz will be doing some finishing touches on your hair and at the same time enhance your make-up." the organizer said.
"Wait, wait, wait. Please explain to me what's happening?", confused na pahayag ni Sarah.
"All your questions will be answered later but for now, listen." May pagkastricto na sabi ng organizer.
Nagtataka man si Sarah, ngunit lahat ng instructions and important reminders ni Jennie ay nakuha naman niya. Somewhat may hint na siya sa mga mangyayari.
A surprise birthday celebration prepared by her wife.
"All set Ma'am Sarah. On my cue, you'll walk through that candle-lightened footwalk. And you'll see Ma'am Tanch.", last briefing na binigay ni Jennie.
"Ready?", huling tanong ni Jennie kay Sarah.
"Always", confident na pahayag ni Sarah.
Sinimulang lakarin ni Sarah ang daan patungo kay Tanch. Habang papalapit siya sa beach front ay mariring siyang musika. Hiyawan at palakpakan ng mga tawo. And a grand wedding set-up.
Wait wedding arrangements???

Narating niya ang pinakalugar kung saan nandoon si Tanch.
Waiting for her infront of the altar. Sa gilid nandoon ang kanilang families, friends, colleagues and team tarah family.
Hindi ma explain ni Sarah ang dapat na maramdaman. Hindi niya alam kung ngingiti ba siya o iiyak.
"Marry me again Mrs. Garcia!!!", sigaw ni Tanch sa harapan.
Bumalik sa kanyang sarili ng marinig ang sigaw ng asawa.
Now, Sarah is savoring the moment of walking down the aisle. Eyes more focused on Tanch's.
When she reached Tanch, hindi niya mapigilang questionin ang asawa. "What is this Love? Why??"
"Because you desreve this, Love.", buong pagmamahal na pahayag ni Tanch.
The civil union started.
Lahat ay mas focus sa mag-asawa. Hindi man sila nakarating sa official wedding rites ng mag-asawa pero feel na feel naman nila ngayon na kasal pa rin naman nilang dalawa eto.
Presider: "Tanch, will you have this woman to be your wife, to live together in holy marriage?"
Tanch: " I do."
Presider: "Will you love her, comfort her, honor, and keep her in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?"
Tanch: "I do."
Presider: Sarah, "Will you have this woman to be your wife, to live together in holy marriage?".
Sarah: "I do."
Presider: "Will you love her, comfort her, honor, and keep her in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?"
Sarah: "I do."
Presider: "May we now hear your vows for each other. Tanch?"
"Happy birthday Love, surprise!", pagsisimula ni Tanch. "I know you have a lot of questions running on your mind right now but i will answer all of them later. But for now, look at our families and friends. All the love that they have for us both will be the sum up of my love for you. Ganun po kita ka mahal. I invited all of them para magpasigawan ko sa kanilang lahat kung gaano kita kamahal. Gusto ko maging witness sila kung gaano natin kamahal ang isa't isa. Hindi man natin sila nadala lahat sa America, pero pinush ko talaga na magkaroon ng wedding dito sa Pilipinas kahit na hindi legal, ok lang basta nandayan silang lahat. I love you Love so much. I will not promise you anything pero ang maipapangako ko lang na alam ko na hindi mapapako ay ang mamahalin kita habang buhay. Lahat ng nandito ngayon ay sila ang magpapaalala sa atin kung gaano natin kamahal ang isa't isa. Kung darating man ang araw na may sumuko sa atin at tayo ay mapadpad sa any sa kanila", turo sa lahat ng guest, babatukan nila tayo at ipapaalala sa atin kung ano ang meron tayo. I love you beyond words Sarah Joy Garcia.
Presider: "Thank you for that Tanch. Now Sarah, ready?"
"Ilang beses na po akong natanong nang, are you ready?, sa ngayong araw. But ready or not, I have no choice but to be ready. Thank you po." Pagpapagaan ni Sarah sa nararamdaman niya.
"Hai Love2x, hindi ko pa nga natapos namnamin ang engagement natin, anniversary, the wedding sa America, and now this. I'm speechless, I'm very overwhelmed sa mga nangyayari. Tanchellie lang sakalam. Meron pa ba Love? May surpresa ka pa? Ibigay mo na ngayon para maisagad na natin. Lutang na lutang na ako Love sa pagmamahal mo. I will always pray that this love that we are feeling right now will last for a lifetime. A lifetime with you My Love. I am super blessed to have you as my wife, my girlfiend and my bestfriend. What can I say??? I love you too so much Love. Kayong lahat na nandito ngayon to celebrate with us, mahal ko rin kayong lahat. Pero mas mahal ko etong asawa ko."Yakap kay Tanch. " Hindi ko na alam kung ano pa ang sasabihin Love, pero ang ganda-ganda mo." Smiles as she lock her eyes into her. Admiring her beauty. "I am so happy that I can call you my wife. I am so happy that I can spend the rest of my life loving you. I am excited to see on what the future holds for us. But one thing that I can promise you, I will always be by your side. I love so much Mrs. Tanchellie Anne Lobete-Garcia.
Presider: "You may now seal your promise with a kiss."
Mrs. Tanchellie & Mrs. Sarah Garcia sealed their promise with a sweet kiss.
