THANKS GOD FOR A TRULY WONDERFUL WEDDING!]

 

Weather and wonders indeed truly  COOPERATED,

Thanks to all Sisters of St. Claire for the DEED;

Have been praying and passing by, always at  KATIPUNAN —

To offer bunch of eggs for those contemplative NUN! 

 

 

Though it drizzled a bit at the Sanctuary at ANGELFIELDS,

‘Twas shower from heaven a blessing of watery BEADS;

And as SHAYNA ambulated near the  POND with swimming SWAN,

I was excitedly watching with my trembling right HAND…

 

[Quezon City Mayor Herbert “Bistek” Bautista with my siblings: L-R – Wilson, William and Warren]  

 

 

Thanks for Mayor HERBERT for coming up so QUICK,

‘Twas when  his name was called to line up like part of a CLIQUE;

And Mayor HERBERT shouted out: “PRESENT!”…so loud and so CLEAR…

His partner ELOISA ogled at him; so loving, so DEAR!

 

 

And as the DRONE flew above to sort of capture a SHOT,

My heart was thumping as though gaily jumping out from a POT;

And as I saw CHESKA and ALEE both happy but TEARY-EYED,

I told myself not to cry, though I cried a bit… thereafter I LIED!

 

 

 

Thanks to VIMI’s father who served as MINISTER,

‘Twas actually through his words that I learned what’s all that MATTER…

Pastor RANEL explained truly well the RITE’s SIGNIFICANCE,

‘Twas truly enlightening, no one would feel so ASKANCE!

 

 

 

Thanks for KIMG and BAM for the SET-UP, so NICE…

The calligraphy on the SIGNAGES so pretty, on THRICE…

Brought me wondrous feeling like the song EIDELWEISS —

And the white-splashed entrance door, ’twas a plan that was truly  WISE!

 

 

But the MARRIAGE CONTRACT got left in the CAR,

The signing ceremony — I quickly made something BIZARRE;

I asked the coordinator to just slip a sheet of PAPER,

Both lovers signed on a DUMMY, it truly was a CAPER!

 

 

 But PAL’s JIMMY BAUTISTA was truly so OBSERVANT,

He’s not only a keen observer but a jet setting BON VIVANT;

“Why was the contract not passed to us for signing?” … he aptly SAID,

Contract signing got done on the dining table … I received no UPBRAID!

 

 

 

And the food served by BIZU was truly DELICIOUS,

The RACLETE side-bar was felt by many as PRECIOUS;

Almost everyone lined up while the cheese-melting CONTINUED,

The boiled potatoes got scarce thus green salad was thereafter USED!

And the decanters and carafes of WINE,

Brought from Aussie county by my cuz who’s so DIVINE;

Loved the MOSCATO so much, either PINK or the WHITE—

BETH my cutie cuz, was live-wire at the party,  ’tis so full of LIFE!

 

 

I wish to thank all the guests for a NIGHT of FUN,

But really ‘tis still not at all completely DONE;

I have TWO (2) other daughters that will still be SPUN,

And a dashing debonair, that’s Anthony — my ONLY SON!

 

 

 

CONGRATULATIONS INDEED to VIMI and SHANE,

You’ve come up with a wedding that has acquired a GLOSSY NAME;

Your wedding video could really indeed go VIRAL,

As GRANDPA however, I’d hope that you’d quickly go PRENATAL!!!!

 

 

  

 

CONGRATULATIONS ONCE AGAIN TO YOU… SHAYNA and VIMI!
