It’s a fine afternoon at Batangas
The wind blows softly
White chairs with ribbons at the back are organized in two different columns
A white altar filled with flowers is waiting in front
The band has their own stage at the right
They asked the singers from their church to sing for them
So there’s Christian Bautista, Yeng Constantino and Rachel Ann Go
Pink, yellow, beige and orange peonies are dangled everywhere
It’s a classic-slash-beach themed wedding, just like the ones in old movies.
Sarah wants it that way. Classic and timeless
At the end of the aisle there is a huge arch made of wood and flowers
It has white curtains covered because Sarah is waiting there
The principal sponsors, the bridesmaids, the groom’s men, the maid of honor and the best men together with Gerald and his parents are on the side waiting
They’re all barefooted
“Ready?”
KC tapped Gerald’s shoulder
“Ready”
KC signaled Christian, a cue for the band to start playing
“What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time”
Gerald’s parents started to walk
Janice clutched on to her husband’s arm
John smiled at her
“Honey, hindi tayo ang ikakasal wag ka iiyak”
She laughed at this
As they reached the altar
They went on the side to watch Gerald as he march down
Gerald is all smiles
“Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you”
He can’t believe he’s getting married today
“All of the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words, you got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here”
While waiting for the bride he’s just grinning but his mind is off somewhere
“Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you”
He doesn’t see the people heading towards the altar anymore
All he can think of is Sarah
“Something about you now
I can't quite figure out
