The Ring Bearer

You might have guessed by now that the link to Tita V's wedding is NOT the only entry I'm going to post about the wedding. There are more to come. But first, because they're so cute, and cuddly, and naughty, but you can't help adoring them, here is the first set of photos of the wedding entourage.

The Ring Bearer

Let me preface with Tita V's history. Tita V married her first husband (Tito P)  only three days after meeting him. It is safe to assume that it was not a shotgun wedding, or the culmination of a long time courtship. It was sudden wedding because Tito P was a merchant marine, due to leave port as fast as he arrived. His visits were fleeting at best, so they figured "why wait when we have only sparing moments with each other?" That said, and by the grace of God and true love, they tied the knot without much flare.

Tito P passed away four years ago. That makes their marriage a long thirty-four years of excitement and adventure. 

Eight months ago, via the instant speed of the Internet, Tita V met Uncle E. Their courtship was a record long seven months for Tita V. Needless to say, they both knew what they wanted: each other. And Tita V knew what she wanted: a proper wedding, with the works!

Which brings me now to this post. The Ring Bearer. It was supposed to be Jamesie Cat. But in true Jamesie Cat form, he put his foot down and simply said "No!" He refused to budge from his alcove of safety, which was his big brothers' tall and strong legs.

Who knows why he didn't want to hold the rings. He just wanted to play with his Pokemon.

Jamesie Cat pointed at the camera in my hand and said "Pikachu".

That's right, Jamesie Cat. Pikachu Pokemon.

"Nooo!"

*There he went with the "no" again!*

"Pikachu!" he said again, and pointed at my camera repeatedly. 

It took several rounds of us bantering back and forth in the same manner above until I finally understood him. He wanted me to take a picture of his toys. A PICTURE. He was actually saying "pick-chooh", not Pikachu.

 

At any rate, Jamesie Cat was not Tita V's ring bearer. Lucky for the bride, there was an understudy. Another little boy who copies everything big cousin James does. Sheazie Bear. He was happy to hold the soft little pillow with the rings. With his mommy's help, he walked down the aisle with the rest of the wedding entourage.

In the meantime...

Me: What's the matter Jamesie Cat?

Jamesie Cat: "Noooo pikachuuuuu!"

I knew better than to think he was talking about Pikachu. He didn't want me to take his picture.

By the way, someone said that it is bad luck [for the marriage] to drop the wedding rings at the wedding ceremony. My two-sense (or cents...) is that luck, or the dropping of anything for that matter, is not what makes a marriage work. Love and dedication is what makes a marriage work.
