the long wait is over…..egoy and jean as one!

in my college days, it was always a happy site to see egoy sit in one of the benches of UST College of Education, enjoying a good laugh with his UST friends while waiting for ate jean to arrive. i thought : this guy’s really in love with you pareng jean! love translated into perseverance and patient waiting really moves mountains…

and that’s what happened when finally on april 14th of this year…after years and years of patient waiting, they were finally bound as one…and with no less than the blessing of ate jean’s daddy! egoy was so cool and with his humorous spirit, the night really was fun and light. i saw ate jean’s happiness, especially when her daddy gave his blessing.

i was fortunate enough N O T to stand as host for the event but to be there as their friend. our parish was also fortunate to have Fray Gerard Co as a bakasyonista…er…a brother who is having his summer outreach or apostolate with us in Biñan… i was inspired indeed with egoy and jean’s love for one another…a love that really went through the test of time and tribulation that i was able to write a song for them as a wedding gift. thanks goes to Fray Gerard too for making “the gift” extra special…

 

Love Will Conquer All

I’ve seen us travel down that road before, All those years we’ve been together

We both have been through curves and bends but still, There’s no letting go I feel

No distance could break our bond

No fear can set us apart

And our love has brought us where we are, And the road ahead still is long

With your hand in mine the fear’s all gone, ‘Cause our love will conquer all

Against so many odds we fought our way, And stronger we’d become

His Spirit guided us and led us, Into each other’s arms

No distance can break our bond

‘Cause our faith and hope is strong

And His love has brought us where we are, Together in His embrace

With our God always in our hearts, Our love will conquer all

No fear, no doubt could take away our faith in each other’s love

I know that we will prevail

His grace will be enough for our love to endure the years

And our love will see us through the pain, That this life could ever give

In His love our joy will be complete, For our love will conquer all

Yes, our love will conquer all
