 June 2,2007 - It was a long and unforgettable day,my first ever wedding photo service,the official start of a photography career.Arnie and Lara's wedding took place in Malaybalay City,Bukidnon and I arrived there early morning to shoot the accessories that would be used in the ceremony and the day just went on and on.. Took alot of photos here and there and just took shots of whatever i see until the reception finished and i was able to finally say,atlast!! It's done but then.. i have a thousand pictures to sort but it was great anyway!After the preparation, the vows, the poses and celebration.. after everything,I saw Arnie, the groom who always made things very funny, always made the day very light and enjoying, the one who seems to never worry about anything because of his jokerous personality,went outside and cried.You know that everyone of us,when we're celebrating something very special in our lives,we always want the most important people to be there celebrating with us also and only Arnie's bestfriend Radel, his other frind Nico and Nico's grilfriend Rain were there to celebrate his wedding with him.His mom wasnt there for some reasons im not aware of.But there was something that Lara told me,she said Arnies parents are separated and the rest,i still dont know and so I understood Arnie completely and so did Lara expected that crying session,she said.I also grew up without a father,I was actually born without him.In my younger years,it was never an issue but as i was growing up,it was always a factor in everything that happens in my life.It made me so insecure,so rebellious,so hurt.. altough I understood that I am responsible for my life but i couldnt dismiss the fact that it has affected me so much.It made me less of who I couldve been if my father was growing up with me and this one i could really remember thinking about it over and over again.. coz i cant see myself with a husband one day,though I could see myself with kids but then I thought it would be better if my kids would live without a father coz it would make them wiser,or so I thought.Life was so hard for me until I surrendered my life to God.. when I recieved Him as my personal Lord and Saviour,He became my father first.It was then that I realized that He is able to give me the love,care, comfort, appreciation and satisfaction that I have always been looking for.The only one who mended my hurts and turned them into joy and lessons to learn and worthy to share.From that day I surrendered my life to God and really allowed myself to be moved by His grace all the days of my life,it was only then that I was able to make things right and started to be whole again.. mostly,it is only with God that I realized that my kids dont have to suffer the unecessary hurts I got by growing without a very important person in our lives,our father.A very important person in making girls become a woman and helping boys to become a man.I realized that when you surrender your life to God,He takes care of your past, present and especially your future.And that is why right now Im confident that God is going to give me a man after His own heart who will love me and our kids in the future.. becuase anyone who follows the heart of God,will for sure,do the best in everything and be excellent in every area.And when I think of Arnie,i dont pity him at all but im confident that he's gonna be a good father to his kids because I can see that he's a good husband and friend to Lara.. and so I believe that God is able to provide him a great future in this career of a lifetime,being a man for his wife and his family.. regardless of his past.Regardless of what kind of family we come from, it doesnt matter if at one point in our lives,we suffered so much the consequences of either of our parents' actions and decisions.. God is always able to work out things for the good and He will always be able to provide a great future for each and everyone of us becuase He always wants the best for us,we just have to trust and obey Him.. by his grace.CONGRATULATIONS ARNIE AND LARA!!!Thank you for this privilege,i really had a great time with you! God bless you both and your kids in the future
