A Wedding is a start of togetherness, of walks in the rain, basking in the sunshine, sharing meals, caring for one another, and sensing the love that a marriage carries.

(Pagsasariwa ng mga pangako sa pag-iisang-dibdib)
Minamahal kong Tony and Sol, naririto kayo sa harap ng Diyos upang pasalamatan siya sa kanyang pagmamahal at katapatan sa inyo noong kanyang pag isahin ang inyong puso at buhay 25 taong na ang nakaraan. Sa inyong pag sasariwa ng mga pangako sa kasal, hilingin ninyo sa Diyos na patuloy nya kayong lingapin at subaybayan.



Tony and Sol
When you first joined hands and hearts in marriage 25 years ago, you did not know where life would take you.

You promised to love, honor and cherish one another through all things. Life has surely brought you both wonderful blessings and difficult challenges over the years. But here you are today, having fulfilled the vows to love, honor, and cherish you each made on your wedding day. And with that God is smiling.


(Join your right hands)
As we celebrate here today, and as you reflect back over all the years as husband and wife, do you now wish to reaffirm the vows you took 25years ago?
(Tony & Sol - Yes, I Do)


Renewal of Vows
Tony, will you continue to have Sol as your wife
and continue to live in this happy and loving marriage?
Tony: Yes, I Do.

Do you reaffirm your love for Sol, and will you love,
honor and cherish her in sickness and in health,
for richer or poorer, for better for worse, and forsaking all others,
be faithful to her for as long as you both shall live?
Tony: Yes, I Do.

Sol, will you continue to have Tony as your husband and
continue to live in this happy and loving marriage?
Sol: Yes, I Do.

Do you reaffirm your love for Tony, and will you love,
honor and cherish him in sickness and in health,
for richer or poorer, for better for worse, and forsaking all others,
be faithful to him for as long as you both shall live?
Sol: Yes, I Do.


Since it is your intention to renew your vows in the covenant of Holy Matrimony,
join your right hands, and declare your consent before God and his Church.

May the Lord in His goodness strengthen your consent and fill you both with His blessings.

"What God has joined together, let no man put asunder."


Tony and Sol,
On your wedding day, you exchanged rings as a symbol of the never-ending circle
that symbolizes the eternal quality of God, unending strength, and unending love.

May you always wear your rings as a reminder of your wedding vows to each other, and your commitment to continuing to live in unity, love, and happiness.


Rev. Fr. Reginald Malicdem blesses the wedding rings as symbols of deep faith and peace.

Tony and Sol exchange them with a promise of unconditional love and fidelity.


Sol, I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow, love, loyalty, faithfulness, and with all that I am and all that I have, I honor you, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.


Tony, I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow, love, loyalty, faithfulness, and with all that I am and all that I have, I honor you, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.


Father Reggie: May Tony and Sol, be blessed with the guidance, strength, and direction to make their relationship grow and blossom in the years ahead.
 

May their home be blessed with joy and happiness, prosperity and wellness, and may they strive together to make their hopes and dreams come true.


THE TRINITY AND HOLY SPOUSES

A family is a word used in heaven and earth.
The foundation of the family must be Jesus and the two spouses.

To be valid, the Church teaches that marriage must be done
with love, freedom must be fertile and forever.

The Church has presented the virginal marriage between
Mary and Joseph, as a models for all kinds of marriage.

The devotion for the Holy Spouses began in eternity, that is,
from the time that the Trinity decided to entrust the Son to two human spouses.

PRONOUNCEMENT

Tony and Sol, today you have renewed the promises and vows
you made to each other on your wedding day.

You have symbolized the renewal of the marriage union by the joining of hands,
the taking of vows, and by exchanging of rings.


Rev. Fr. Reginald Malicdem's Blessings

It is with pleasure that I conclude the ceremony of renewing the vows of marriage that joined you and forever binds you as husband and wife.

Please celebrate this renewal of vows with a sign of affection.


Tony and Sol after 25 years

We have shared the joys, blessings, and challenges, of married life for 25 years.
And, today we reconfirm our commitment to working together to make our marriage grow and blossom in the years to come.

May this ceremony, renewing the vows we took to become husband and wife on our wedding day, remind us that despite the stresses inevitable in every life, our love, respect, trust, and understanding of each other will continue to increase our contentment and heighten our joy in living. Amen.


One of the great blessings of marriage is the joy and responsibility of raising a family. We have truly been blessed to be the parents of our son, Andreij Hosea.

As we renew our vows of marriage today, we also renew our commitment to being loving and caring parents to Andreij, recognizing with gratefulness the happiness and fulfillment that Andreij has brought to our marriage and family life.

Our sincerest appreciation to
Rev. Fr. Reginald Rivera Malicdem

24th Wedding Anniversary (Thanksgiving Day)

Today is, December 18, 2015, we're celebrating our 24th year Wedding Anniversary. We went to Manila Cathedral to attend the early morning Holy Mass, followed our buffet breakfast in Bayview Park Hotel and a dinner at Romulo's Cafe in Alabang.

24 years of love and blessing deserves the time to celebrate, the love in our hearts today, for another year so quickly passed, since our last anniversary day.

May we share our love together as always. No one else would understand our relationship, and no one else in this world would understand me the way my husband does. So many things to be grateful, so many memories to look back and smile, those are felt in our hearts.

December 18, 2015,

Keep and bless him all his life.
May God always be with us and lead us to a happier,
healthier, loving, caring and prosperous 
family days together for the rest of our life. Amen.

Andreij's 17th Birthday

24th of September 2015 Happy 17th birthday to the world's greatest, kindest and still our little boy at heart son. May your future be as bright, not every 17-year old is as mature as you are. Wisdom is not a gift we can give you, son. It’s something you must earn and you've become so wise over the years. 

We're so lucky to have such a great son like you. We've always been proud of you. I know you are strong, brave, smart, kind, handsome. We know that you will be a great husband and a father one day and remember we will always be here for you. We always love you no matter what. Now more than ever, our hearts are bursting with pride, because you've grown into a remarkable person  so full of love, caring, and joy.

Son, you are a shining example of everything that’s right in this world. Words are simply not enough to express how amazing we feel to have you as our son. We love you. You make our life complete. Every single day since you were born, you've added something amazing to our life. We can’t imagine our life without you in it. You have been much more than a source of pride and joy for us you've been a source of infinite inspiration.

Tomorrow holds the promise of sweeter moments. May today, your birthday, be sweetened with the joy and wonder you bring to everyone. 

We wish you all the best in your life son. 
Love you as always, Daddy and Mommy

Happy 17th Birthday Andreij

Son, You are tall as your Dad and looks like more of Me.
From the time you were small to the time you are tall.
There have been many phases of life
There have been many strives,
But having a son like you makes Me and your Dad proud.

We will always be there to guide you.
But you have to choose your way.
We will give you ideas. But, you will have to say.
We will help you with struggles of life.
But, it's you who have to strive.

Son, God bless you enough as always.
Lifetime love from,
Dad and Mom

A big “happy birthday” to an amazing son and an even more amazing man.

Yesterday’s echoes bring back sweet memories of you and me.
Someday, when Andreij was grown, life will be different at all,
and then we will spend time, not looking forward to someday, but looking back at yesterday.


17 years old Andreij
