I have always believed in the power of love. Endless. Unconditional. Pure. That’s how I would describe the love I have for my one true love Emil. Emil and I have been together for 10 years, and on our 11th year together we are getting the blessing of our Lord God. But here’s the the thing, we have been civilly married for 7 years and have been blessed with 2 awesome boys. We got married at the tender age of 18 and 19, we didn’t plan it but God laid out everything perfectly for us. During the time when all our friends were partying and having fun, we had to stay home and look after our child, save up our baon for diapers and milk, and constantly remind each other that this was the life we wanted. And like most couples, we had our share of ups and downs. There were a lot of struggles, but being together was the only thing that felt right . Despite everything, our love endured. So on our 11th year as a couple, we are getting God’s blessing for our children, family and friends to witness.

For the past 7 years of being married, I didn’t think I would still have the chance of getting married in church. Since we had to attend to the needs of the kids, a church wedding was never a priority. But early this year, Emil decided that it was time. I couldn’t believe it. This is the dream that I have been waiting for, to walk down the aisle towards the only man I have ever loved. Now, we are preparing for our October wedding, a simple one with all our closest family and friends to celebrate with us.

I have always dreamed of having Metrophoto as our photographer, but since we’re on a very tight budget, it would be almost impossible until I read about the Metrofied for life promo. Now I have a chance!!!! Emil and I have joked about getting tattoos when we were younger, so that we can “label” each other we would have our names tattooed, but I am terrified of needles. Literally. But when I read about the promo, there was not a single second when I thought of the pain I would endure if we won. I won’t care about the pain, I want Metrophoto to take beautiful pictures of my wedding. So here I am, writing about why I deserve to win.
