"Can you get Married in just a Week?"
"Being in a long distance relationship was never easy. You will always find yourself missing them especially the moment you lie down to bed alone. Having no one to talk about how your days go or even no one to cuddle during those cold nights. Yeah, because last night was indeed cold, lol! I just remember the moment I woke up today that exactly four years ago I married the man I love. Indeed time flies"
I always consider myself lucky for having my husband . Marrying him was the most right decision I made in my entire life, lol! Hehe, I was serious. He was not only my better half but also my bestfriend. Someone I can confidently talk and share anything with as I know he would never judge me. Why? Because sometimes he is not listening. Haha. Kidding! He was a man with few words and between the two of us I was always the one talking.
Looking back, I never thought we would end up together, especially when he decided to work abroad. I know a lot of friends in the LDR that did not work. Most of the time " CHEATING" happened. Not only that many discourage me, mostly my officemates. They kept on telling me that my man would eventually cheat on me.
I don't know maybe because of that I had some trust issues with him before. We would always argue, no let me rephrase, I would always get mad every time he could not respond to my chats or answer my call. Paranoid, was the exact term. There are times I would open his Facebook and check all the messages and even his activity log.
Yet as the days went by, I had learned to trust his LOVE. I understand as he could not respond to me 24/7 especially that sometimes he was so tired from work. Added to that he got homesick. I felt bad upon realizing my bad actions though.
" Love I already had a ticket going HOME".
The moment I read his chat message years ago, I couldn't help but smile widely! At last he is coming home.
The Proposal.
Though he already expressed the desire to marry me, he actually wanted to marry me before he left abroad. Yet I didn't expect he would still propose. Though I could not tell you how it was something private. All I can say it happened only the two of us like I wanted. Some might like public proposals yet I don't. I am not comfortable with the thought that there are people watching. Gladly he knows me better.
Haha I remember, I never told anyone how my husband proposed. When someone would ask me, I would tell them the fabricated story that I made. The truth was it was far from reality.
The Wedding.
We are supposed to get married after a year or two as planned. We don't have enough money as almost all his salary was spent to the land he bought where we were gonna live. We are in the airport, waiting for our flight going home to my hometown. I'm going to introduce him to my family.
It just happened all of a sudden and we decided to get married. Yet the problem is, can we manage? We only have 7 days and that was clearly not enough.
A day after we got home, we went to the Regional Trial Court to meet up with the Judge, who happened to be my brother's friend. We told him our plan and he just told us to pay around $134 for the fixer. Yes, everything was settled. Indeed money can do wonders.
The next day, exactly today, May 18 we got married. It was a Civil wedding held at the Regional Trial Court of Iloilo.
Since it was all of a sudden I was not prepared. I was just wearing a jumpsuit and him a white polo shirt. No make up, no fancy clothes. It was only two people madly in love.
See? You could actually get married in just a week!
I can still remember the shock in the faces of our friends, relatives and even my officemates. They didn't even know that I was engaged. Plus the fact I only took one week leave at work! My Boss even asked me , how the h3ll I do that?
Someone even told me that if ever her boyfriend proposed he would let anyone know. Like posting on social media. I told her, well not me.
And yes Ladies and Gents! That's how I got married. It might not be the way other women wanted, but for me it was the best! Just the idea that there is a man who couldn't wait to marry me is already enough! LOL!
