Even seasoned (ahem :)) wedding filmmakers like yours truly can still marvel at how unpredictable a wedding can turn out to be. It so happened that the priest in our couple’s wedding forgot to give way for the personalized vows of the couple. It was supposed to be Viel’s surprise to his bride. But in rare circumstances like this, there will always be a hero – the one who will save the day. In this case, that would be the groom. Yes, Viel more than made up for the missed declaration of his vows. He was able to tell the world, eventually. Even more so, it was heartwarming that he was assisted by his radiant bride, Angeline.

I always tell my soon-to-be-wed couples that making and saying their personal vows do enhance the emotions of the SDE video. I still believe that this is true. But seeing how things turned out for Viel and Angeline, I may say that there are simply things that you can’t predict and it is all up to the persons involved how they would want it to affect them. As they say, there are no perfect weddings or marriages. Only people loving each other perfectly.

I think Viel garnered thousands of pogi points that day, being the gentleman that he is. Congratulations and best wishes Angeline and Viel!

 

Viel’s promises…

Who would have thought that the “Meynard and Madonna love team” would surpass the challenges of time? Even surpassing the most formidable love teams in Philippine showbiz history. And it is all because all those years were needed to prove that they are meant for each other.

Knowing each other since they were four years old, the bride and groom practically grew up with each other. But their love history did not immediately reach the “I do” part. There were circumstances and distances that kept them apart. Only to find themselves brought together by the right place and the right timing. Now that they are happily married, they owe not just their education to UP but also their destinies. Now, their secrets are out – they have been crushing on one another since they were teenagers. While it may have taken them years to realize that they are meant for each other, some people around them have taken an early notice. Since they were gradeschoolers, they were already considered as a love team, with most of the teasing coming from the groom’s side of the family. Now, that is an unbeatable  track record for a love team.

Magical love story? Indeed. Tears during the wedding? Buckets. Happiness? Overflowing. Love? Abundant!

Congratulations Meynard and Madonna!
