Jomar and Hanna's Wedding

Jomar and Hanna, your love is what this wedding is all about; but we cannot celebrate this without God. God has been your light during the time when all you have seen in life is darkness. God has been your light that is why you have found love in each other despite the said darkness in your lives. 

Remember Jomar your experience of love. It was not always convenient to love and be loved. Remember too Hanna your experience of love. It was distressing rather than exciting. But a love from God comes to both of you just when you need it the most.  

Jomar and Hanna, you were schoolmates then at Aklan State University but you never thought of this wedding; that this would be celebrated between the two of you. When you initially took your master's degree in the same university, still you  did not have any idea that you are meant to be for each other. Both of you are teachers yet when it comes to love, you are just learners. You learn that it is not through searching, not even through seeking, that you can find love. Rather, it is in believing that God sends you the love you need long before you ask for it. It is in God's grace that love is said to come at the right time with the right person. By this reason, love comes to you as a miracle; love is God's blessing to you. 

Therefore, Jomar and Hanna, always remember that without God, there can be no love between the two of you. Without love, there can be no wedding to celebrate for the two of you.  You celebrate this wedding, neither as a matter of convenience nor out of excitement, but as a sign of love that comes from God with a commitment to establish your conjugal as well as your family life. It likewise demands the concomitant duty to love each other. It demands your full and undivided fidelity to each other and to no other. In doing so, you need God's grace. Human as you are, you have your imperfections despite your best intention to love and be loved. So ask God everyday to bless you with His gifts of trust, compassion, forgiveness and truth. Pray together so that you may live and grow together in love. Pray so that you will receive what Jesus has promised to those who know how to love, that His joy may be yours and your joy may be complete.  

To end, Jomar, you have the reason to rejoice in God as you finally have found your one true love. Hanna, you have the reason to rejoice in God too as your prayer has been answered to marry the right man today. Amen.
