COUPLE’S CORNER -The Day We said I DO

When I look at the theme for this week I know how I will going to tell you the story of my wedding day. When I was single one of my dream was to get married in a church where I have bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girl meaning I like the wedding that you will cherish forever with your parents beside you. Well, that was not happened but I got married. This is hard thing to tell you because it makes my heart sad but anyway I will still tell you. After hubby and I met in the first time we decided to file a fiancee visa to get married in US. That time I am still in my last year in college. We did not knew that the visa came 7 months later. The visa will expire in September and my schooling will end at October so my decision needs to be fixed whether visa or schooling. My boss told me that better go for the visa and finish my college here in USA. So after the processing getting my airline ticket i came here last June 2005. Hubby have a small farm in which he grows a blueberry that harvest from last week of May till second week of July. So I came during blueberry harvest season. It was very very busy for us to get married. But hubby don't like to hear others talking about us being in one house then we are not married even nothing happened yet.(lol)

We decided to get married in that week since we have 2 days off from work. We went to the courthouse of our place but there are so many papers to do and it looks like we cannot get married so we went to other city to get married. Before going to the place where our wedding will be held hubby and I went to a jewelry store and bought two simple wedding rings. I bought also a simple clothes to wear during my wedding. Everything was simple and i felt very sad but at the same time happy because I have my husband who always cares for me and love me. I almost cried thinking that I am going to get married by civil only not the dream wedding I wanted to have. even the family of hubby are not there since they are living in different state far from us. We are only two of us and the person that married us. After the quick civil wedding we came home since the next day was a big day of our harvest. We do not have any honeymoon just like other weeded couple. I hope you like my story and next week another story will be revealed.

Tejan's Love Story

Tejan give permissions to let me repost her love story that you will be inspired to red. Thanks Tejan...Here is her story....

The first meeting when our guy is a foriegner could always be exciting with butterflies on stomach:) Thats because, most of us first known each other by writing or phones and internets then after all the coocoos, meeting personally will be a realization of our dream or a nightmare..aheheh! Because many if not mostly has no luck at all. Some, just good at the net or phone but in reality..uh,uh! So, by this, we will always feel double on the first meeting.
Our story maybe not that exciting and interesting but still I have to write it here:) Anyway, believe it or not, I already love him before I met him! wink* (kanta man na net) heeh. Originally, I was not interested of marrying a foriegner but then when its destiny maybe you cannot fight for it or can we??? Anyway I thank God for giving me 'Him' I felt so lucky!

Okay, here where and what happened on our first meeting;
Since we've been writing and talking each other through the net for a couple of months already, like 10mos. to be specific and besides from that, we didn't knew each other through the net alone. But we were introduced by a common friend or family. My aunt who were married to a Norsk (but works here in Sweden (VOLVO) who happened to be the boss of my husband that time introduced me to him..heheh because he asked! They invited him to thier house to met my aunt and showed him some pictures and videos of me. Hmmm, inside him he thought, "this is the girl for me" (na lovestruck sad sya) heheh take note the girl for I was so tiny:) Thus, our love story begun. What I mean here is that, I was not worried about what kind of person he was because my aunts already knew him and the fact that he was introduced by my uncle who knews him also because they work together and as I knew, he(my aunts husband) will never introduce whoever. And I think this is a good thing.

When my aunt's family planned to visit Philippines, my husband tried to work so hard and even worked overtime so he can save enough money to go with them and meet me. Waaaah, I first met him at the airport of course!(Manila, NAIA) He was more taller and bigger than I thought, other than that, all my expectations about him were right! Honestly??? we hug and kiss right away at the airport when I met him. It felt like we already knew each other for a long time! Everything flows just right! And after 10 days we got married:)

Couple's Corner - Marriage Proposal

Hi there this is my first time to join and i love this me. I almost put all the love stories that I collected. But before that I am going to join and tell the world of my better-half...Anyways the topic for this week is marriage proposal.

I did not know where to start since this is the fourth time already of CC. But anyway I will tell you my marriage proposal.

First of all I want to say I met my hubby through Singlec.com it is a christian single website in which you can met mostly Christian guys. We communicated for more than two years and he decided to visit me in the Philippines. He came first in Manila and called me that he already arrived that he wants to meet me there. I am very nervous and excited specially I am still in the middle of busy life being a working student in the college and was appointed as a Dean of the excess dormitory in the college. I went to my big boss and told them everything you know what they are very nice enough to give me an early break just to meet my dear hubby but BF that time. Now the students in our dormitory knows about it and start to teased me then advice what to do hehe since it was my first time meeting someone and ride an airplane for the first time too hahahhaha....Anyway, I went to Manila and he met me in the airport and surprised because he told me he will shave his beard but not he look and old caveman but cute.(wink) I am scared and at the same time excited to meet him. After that meeting we went to the hotel that he already reserved for us. Imagine he got two rooms for each of us mine was in the 5th floor and he was in the 4rth floor. He said that was the right way since we are not married yet and he do not want the talk of everybody. Well, i do not like also being together in one room since I want to be pure before marriage(lol). We stayed in Manila for 17 days but before we end our stay there one night while we are walking to Robinson mall next to Las Palmas hotel where we stay, he told me that we will bought something. We went to a jewelry store in the mall and after picking up what he wants to give then he said will you marry me? I was shocked and shy because people are looking at us and the lady in the store smile but I did say yes and he put the ring in my finger. The ring was pure gold that until now it did not change the color even I wear it while I am washing the dishes and taking a bath. Anyway, after that we went to celebrate and ate at our favorite restaurant i hope it still there when we visit in the Philippines one day. After the 17 days of staying in Manila we went to my mom and dad's place and visit there for 3 days. Everybody was happy and surprised but I will tell you next what happened.....

Cecile's Love Story

I am thanks of the people whom I ask their love stories. They gives me permission to post their love stories here in my blog. If you want to read more just subscribe my feed. Anyway thank you Cecile for letting me copy your love story from your post. Hope you love to read others story also.

When Matt decided to see me in person for the first time in Malaysia, I knew then that he loves me. Yes, he was that serious! He was willing to travel a long way just to see me. And as for me, I already fell in love with him the moment I heard his voice on the phone. It was a kind, soft, and sweet voice. Even now, every time he calls, I still feel the same feeling. Of course we both prayed whether our decision to marry each other is the right thing to do. It was answered through the conversation I had with the other guy on Sweden. We were both happy since we received the blessing to marry each other from both parents especially for my parents who were not present during that special day of ours. Anyway, immediately after he arrived from his trip to Malaysian, he started processing everything we needed so I can go the United States to marry him. So after six months of waiting for my K-1 visa, I finally get to travel to meet his family and friends. It's been eight years now, but we are still in love despite of our differences, background, race and cultures. Putting aside differences and looking for what is good in each other makes our relationship stronger and even closer with each other. I am not perfect and neither does my husband, but with open mind and heart and support, we make our marriage works. We know that when we put God's first in everything we do such as marriage, whatever happens our marriage is going to be as strong as a rock!

Sheng's Love Story

Thank you Sheng for allowing me posting your love story in here. I know many readers fall in love with the story that they read. I hope you have a great day...

Despite the distance, i was studying in Bicol and he was working in Bulacan, he managed to court me through letters, calls and text messages and it took him one year to let me finally say that we’re on. Like most of the couple who had a romantic declaration of their love to each other, for us we had it different again.

YES, WE DECLARED OUR LOVE
April 24, 2008

January 1, 2002, officially we become lovers. His siblings and cousins decided to have an excursion at Maribina Falls. He requested me to come with them together with my other siblings.

When we reached the place he asked me to go up on top of the falls. We sat there for a while. Both of us are serious as if each of us wanted to say something. Then after a long second of not saying anything...he said "Napapagod na ako sa ganitong sitwasyon, ikaw nde ka pa ba napapagod?" No reply... Then another question…"kelan ko ba malalaman?" Then i replied "Gusto mo ngaun na!" Our story started that way! Others may expect of "Do you love me?" question and "yes or no" answer. But it was not what had happened. After saying "gusto mo ngaun na?" i motioned of going down then he followed me.

That's it! We went home that day without saying any other words. It was a sad moment for me. I was hoping for a good reply and even a happy and sweet smile the moment i said "gusto mo ngaun na" but i didn't saw it on him. I even told him about it.

Then that night he spent it to our house till early morning. Gave me a present (perfume) which is till now was kept in our house and was not used. I want to display it on our future home as the first gift i received from him.


At first, i thought he wasn't serious and all the things that are happening those times are just the continuation of our neighbors childhood loveteam joke. But then with all the letters, calls and text messages i concluded that Oh My! he's really inlove with me. I have never spent time chatting with past suitors with nonsense things but with him i love it esp. when we're sharing about our life as a naughty kids. Six months after...i found myself dreaming of him and thinking of him before sleeping and even at the moment i open my eyes in the morning. He used to go home once a year but within that year he came home almost 5 times that made his relatives surprised.....that was because of me.:)

With his determination to win my heart he made it sure that every vacation he would come to our house to talk to me or if i was in Manila he will surelly meet me for a dinner.

Joy's Love Story

It is nice of Joy that she gives me a permission to post her love story in this blog. I hope you will inspired and feel the love as you read her story. Thank you mommy Joy...

In year 2004, my ex-boyfriend saw my profile in one of the dating website, from there, he already fell at first sight with my photo as well as the section where I was looking for marriage and lifetime companion because that’s what he was looking for too. So, by then, he tried to email me twice, but I never received anything from him until he decided to send me a snail mail. From the moment we saw each other’s photos, we already knew that we like each other. Until we get into deeper relationship where we found out more about each other where our liking towards each other develops into love. I was kind a skeptical too since we never met in person yet and then we already saying, “I Love You’s” after we talked over the phone or when we wrote emails to each other which is sometimes made me to think about reasons of what if’s.

So, when we had a chance to finally meet each other in person that’s where I confirmed of how we really love each other and yes, WE’RE IN LOVE, and we show it to the world that we indeed in love by getting married and settle down after 5 months of getting to know each other. We are sort of in a rush at that time which seem like he make sure that I won't change my mind.

One more thing, every day, he always say he loves me, he even whispered the three words in my ear when he goes to work, early in the morning where sometimes, I pretend I was asleep. It is so sweet of him doing that every day. He only missed a few, if we had a misunderstanding and when I was fully awake and not asleep. He whispered once in my sleep that woke me up though and at that time we had an argument. It was touching that’s why if he made something that disappoints me, I always forgive him in the end.

What more could I say, I am in love and will always be…
