Hello virtual friends and read.cash community! How’s everyone! I had a fun chitchat with my colleagues over lunch today. I was thinking of leaking out the fun part of our conversation in noise.cash, however, while typing it, I noticed that it had gone long enough fitting for an article here, so, yeah okay, let’s do it here.
Just a heads up, this is not my wedding announcement, lol! That might sound exciting, but, regrettably no, not now unfortunately. Maybe I need a shotgun to make it happen, haha!
So, moving on. Just a short overview about the Roman Catholic weddings here in the Philippines, it’s a tedious process. Mind you, when my sister got married, I never imagined that it could be a very long task, from acquiring some requirements and legal documents, file it to the civil registrar, then sit for a seminar. After that, there is another seminar in the Catholic church, they call the Pre-Cana seminar, from there the couple have to wait for a few more weeks for the wedding announcement. That lengthy process, you have to go through to get married, and if the odds went unbearable living together in one roof, getting a divorce or any forms of legal separation is one long, painful and expensive undertaking. Gosh! So, you might get another shotgun, eh? Lol! Just kidding!
Back to the chitchat, my colleague had a friend working in the office of the Barangay’s Local Parish Church, she is one of the people assigned in processing documents for weddings and all sorts.
It was a common practice that a month before the wedding day the names of the couple will be mentioned every after mass for 2 consecutive Sundays.
After the mass, this worker from the church headed to the podium and began announcing the list of couples getting married,
“Announcing again this morning that Mr. Robert Reyes filed her intent to marry Ms. Marie Cruz (not their real names) this coming November 28, 2021,” then she continued, “and we would like to apologize that we announced the wrong woman for him last Sunday.”
And all the people inside the church laughed. This must be so awkward, LOL!
Funny, but at least they apologize, haha! Whatever, that was just a mess.
Anyway, workloads must’ve gone crazy for the church personnel in charge to make those mistakes. No one is perfect as they say, so what can we do?
For the couples, especially for the bride, who of all people wanted to make this special moment perfect and memorable, must be a bit disappointing. They can only laugh about it, and pray that hopefully no more jinxes on her parade on the actual wedding day.
Oh well, something light and funny for tonight. I have a slight headache that I try to ignore the entire day. I had a short nap before dinner and when my niece woke me up to eat, I sneak on my computer to write something for tonight. Then, I have to get some more sleep. Good night and good morning, wherever you are in this universe! Stay safe and God bless!
