Part II: My Wedding Ceremony By The Beach

"Forever is not a word...rather a place where two lovers go when true love takes them there.

At last, after hours and hours of waiting, have finally seen my man - my love and my future. A million dollar smiles... "Love is a hard rock between two people and can't be torn apart"... While we were walking going down to the beach, love songs and wedding songs were beautifully playing, it was very romantic though... The moment I saw all our guests with big smiles on their faces and the non-stop flashes from their cameras, I started crying... The venue was lovely, we were surrounded by with fresh flowers. Anyway, we only had a 30 minutes ceremony done by the Head of Civil Registrar in Mauritius (as shown on top right).

Exchanging of our VOWS...

Blessing and exchanging of our RINGS...
"A ring is round, it turns forever and that's how long we'll be together!"
We were both in tears here, was very romantic though.
“Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.”

My father and Mr. Giff Bishop (our Chief Engineer here at work), signed our marriage license as our 2 witnesses.

As soon as the ceremony was finished, the Civil Head had pronounced us as "Husband & Wife"... at last and finally!! "Forever is not today, not tomorrow or a century that will come, but a lifetime."
Our both parents...

One thing that I forgot to tell my husband to "bless" ("mano po" in Tagalog) to my parents - to take their both hands and put in his forehead - one of the Filipino cultures, which basically a sign of respect! After here, I'm gonna be taking you to our 2 hours photo shoots - we went around the resort, around the beach, taking the gorgeous sunset.

"Love is like a river, never ending as it flows, but gets greater with time!"
