"Our Wedding Prayer"

Lord,help us to remember when we first met,and the strong love that grew between us.

To work the love into practical things so nothing can divide us

Grant us a Love that grows stronger with each passing year.

We ask for words both kind and loving

and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.

Guide us to overcome every challenge

and keep our dreams pure to each other always.

Dear Lord,we put our marriage into Your hands.Amen

If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.

i was born in Aklan where you can find the famous Boracay Beach. But i grew up in Manila. I stayed for some months (6 months) in Magsingal,Ilocos Sur and been going back and forth to Ilocos since 2007. From then on I became close to Ilocanos and understand a bit of their dialect.

I also understand illonggo because my bro was married to a Negrense. Since then i also been going back and forth to Bacolod,Negros Occidental. I also understand some of Kinaray-A (antique's dialect cuz i have relatives over there) and of course Aklan's dialect.

My fiance was born in San Jose,California where he spent his 23 yrs and move to Honolulu,Hawaii last October 2007.

hi everyone.

i was born in quezon city but i grew up in iloilo city. i went to that ancient chinese school along iznart street (i am a chinese-filipino :yes: ) but went to college in manila.

iloilo city is famous for its:

1. dinagyang festival (check these links: http://www.etravelpilipinas.com/events_fes...ng_festival.htm and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinagyang)

2. lapaz batchoy (what is batchoy?)

3. tatoy's manokan and seafoods (man! you all should try their grilled chicken if you're in iloilo, it's the best! walang sinabi ang iba :thumbs: :thumbs: )

Hi Tessa,

Fun Post! My wife is from Talisay City just outside of Cebu City. That area is very beautiful and has many tourists. It is famous as the sight where Magellan was killed by Lapu Lapu who is revered as a powerful leader in historical Philippines. We love to vacation on Malapasqua Island on the North tip of Cebu.

I was born and raised in Iowa and work in Des Moines. But I will be moving to Maryland in the near future.

Mark and Gladys

My friends,

Where in the Philippines are you or your loved ones from? We'd be thrilled to know. Also, please provide a monicker or description of your town, city or province, if you could.

We'll start with myself. I am from Santa Cruz, a town just south of Davao City, and otherwise known as the Investors' Haven of Davao del Sur because of so many big enterprises with situs here. My fiance in Corona, California was born and raised in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, the Spanish colonial pueblo that was originally named La Ciudad Fernandina by our Castilian founders, in honor of King Ferdinand of Spain.

How about you?

Mark and Gladys!
