I was supposed to write the wedding vows for my cousin, Brian, and his fiance, Aimee. While I finished and handed them the vows on time, they weren’t able to use them for their wedding ceremony last Friday. I am sharing here the vows which I wrote for them.

Brian to Aimee:

I have loved a lot of things in my life: GI Joes, cars and racing, photography, airsoft, wakeboarding, farming… but one thing remain constant in my heart, you. I have loved you for more than half my life, through car shows, races, tournaments, businesses and careers, photo shoots, and events. Through joys and pains, through triumphs and failures, through ups and downs, through new ventures, hobbies, and passions, we remain constant with each other. You remain with me, by my side. Today I commit the rest of my life to you, to the family we will be having, and the life that we will continue to enjoy with each other. Today I wed thee, my first and last love, Aimee Go.

Aimee to Brian:

There are seven continents in this world. And five oceans separating them. I have been to a lot of places in those continents. I have crossed those oceans. I have been to Washington, New York, and Texas, tasted the fine chocolates of Europe, took photos of the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Tromphe, ventured into South Africa and Asia, but home will always be here in Davao with you. My feet have traveled far and wide, my eyes have seen so many things, and I have experienced so many adventures yet I always look forward to trips going home to you or with you. I find comfort in your jokes and laughter. I feel secure knowing that I will always have somebody who will always welcome me home. 14 years together may seem to be a long time, but not it’s long enough. I commit to you myself and the rest of my life as I wed thee today.

Congratulations to my cousin Brian! Hindi nag-back out si Aimee.

And to Aimee, welcome to our crazy family! 🙂
