When I'm feeling blue
All I have to do
Is take a look at you
Then I'm not so blue
When you're close to me
I can feel your heart beat
I can feel you breathing in my ear
Wouldn't you agree
Baby, you and me got a groovy kind of love
The rain was pouring and the wind was blowing so hard, but the UP MedChoir still sang it beautifully. Everybody was amazed as my eldest cousin, Ate Cel, entered the church to meet her groom. It was a sight to see -- a very beautiful bride walking down the aisle with a typhoon making a ruckus in the background.
Ate Cel was crying and so was Kuya Sonny... And so were her sisters, and so was their dad. And of course, I was caught crying as well. For me, it was a bit bittersweet. I was sad that our family was in a way, giving Ate Cel away. I was sad thinking of the important people who weren't there -- Ninang Virgie (Ate Cel's Mama) and Lola Paz. I was sad of the trials we all know Ate Cel and Kuya Sonny will face right after the wedding. Despite all these, she was still very, very beautiful. And I was very proud and very overwhelmed.
I've been looking forward to their wedding for so long (see here and here) but I never imagined their Tagaytay wedding to occur in the middle of a typhoon. We got our feet wet and our gowns were blown by the wind. There was no Tagaytay view, only the fog blowing around everywhere. It may not have been the best of weathers, but it was certainly one of the best weddings. I'm sure it will bring forth a very good marriage. I have no doubts that Kuya Sonny is THE ONE for Ate Cel. It just shows every time they're together. At sabi nga ni Kuya Sonny, "Kahit anong mangyari, walang iwanan." Because of that one line, Kuya Sonny gets ten thousand plus plus plus pogi points from me. It's easier to let go of Ate Cel when we know that she has a Kuya Sonny to love and care for her for a lifetime.
Best Wishes to Mr. & Mrs. Sonny Manotok!!!
Kuya Sonny, welcome to the family. 
Your first-time bridesmaid,
Chubbs
