Hey there everyone! Happy Easter! And Happy Full Moon Day! :) Pardon us if we haven't post anything much yet in here. Let us make up for it with this speeches we made for each other. Oh and this is just a snippet of what we'll actually say to each other when the time comes. ;)

Jhun a.k.a. Yang's Maid of Honor Speech :)
Hi there everyone. Truthfully, I don't have any idea how to make speeches, more importantly, a wedding speech. So I hope I wouldn't say anything inappropriate here.;)
Anyway, to start off, let me congratulate first the newly weds who, after years and years of searching and plotting on maps, finally found each other. Kudos to you guys.
So first off - to the groom. Congratulations and I wish you all the luck and the patience in the world. I hope you know what you've gotten yourself into because when she became my friend, I didn't have a choice. So from here onward, she's basically your responsibility. She may be quite a handful (oh don't I just know it), but I'm pretty sure you're up to it. Trust me when I say that she can make you crazy at times - well, make that most of the time - but trust me also when I say that it'll all be worth it. She may seem like a fragile little thing that always needs to be protected but truth be told, you can trust her with your life because she'll do her best to protect it even if she has to sacrifice hers along the way. Don't be afraid of sharing with her your burdens because with a heart as big as hers, she can handle it. Whenever you face trials as husband and wife, there's no need for you to shelter her behind your back. Just hold her hand and keep her beside you and she will bravely face them with you. So just a simple reminder: Don't expect her to be the nagger-kind-of-wife. I assure you, she won't ask for much. She won't need for you to be anything, to be the courageous Superman or the filthy rich intellectual Batman or even the quite temperamental Hulk. All she'll ever need from you is for you to be you. A couple of surprises here and there wouldn't hurt though, like a trip across Europe or even a Caribbean cruise would probably suffice. Just kidding. A bit. But basically yeah, just be yourself. Always remember that it's you whom she fell in love with and not the material stuff that you could give her. Trust me on this. On Girl Scouts' honor. :)
To the bride. To the sister of my heart. :) What more can I say? After all the silly phases we've been through, you finally found the one who'll never let go of your hand no matter how many times you trip over your own feet. You don't know how relieved I am for finally, I can wash my hands of you.:P Kidding aside, this is just the beginning though. More is yet to come, but I know that you can make it through no matter what. Especially now that you have someone you can wholly share yourself with. I can easily see you bravely shouting out to the void "Bring it on!" while you are holding on to him. And it makes me glad. Don't batter yourself too much though about the things you don't know about yet. You'll learn them along the way. But the most important part is that you learn them together. Don't rush yourself into things. You'll get there in time. Enjoy each step you take with each other because you can never take the same step twice. Cherish it. Live it. Savor it. Because once you get yourselves a bunch of runts along the way, you'll need something to remind you why the hell you wanted this anyway. Just kidding. Again. Sorry for that.:P But there's some truth in it, ayt? Always remind yourselves that the reason you are where you are right now, and that is beside each other, is because you wanted to, because you love each other. Not because you had to, just for the sake of staying together. From now on, you should stop thinking as two separate people with different paths because now, you are a single unit. You are "husband and wife", not "a husband" and "a wife". Someday soon, this "husband and wife" unit will turn into a "mother and father" unit. And I'm sure, you will do just fine. In fact, you will be more than just fine. You will be wickedly awesome.
So cheers to the newly weds.
And to the first runt that will come along the way. Probably in about 9 months time, maybe? ;)

Rhio a.k.a. Grey's Speech :)
Hello there everyone!
I don't know exactly how to begin this speech of mine. But all I could think of was to say this...
Finally! Thank heavens! That this day had finally came true! So surreal to be here with all of you right now - to witness the love and commitment that these two made.
So, for you the groom. Well of course, (you have an idea) but you just don't know how exactly lucky and blessed you are to have my dearest Yang as your partner in life. She may have her crazy antics and may zone-out from time to time into her rabbit hole, but tell you what and know this - you can always count on her to be with you every step of the way, literally and figuratively, in this new chapter of your lives together. And can I just say, thank you so much, for being the man that she always needed and wanted to be. Thank you for loving her and accepting her just the way she is. But always know that, there's more to her because as you traverse this journey of being a married couple, remember that she'll still blossom into someone as so much more and it will always be worth it. I know that there are times (well, a lot of times, kidding!) that she may be stubborn, but you know what, at the end of the day just give her a good and warm tight bearhugs to remind her that she is not alone on this anymore. That she has you and that you can always make it through whatever weather because you both have each other. Oh and please, it's always the little things that count and don't ever forget the surprises. Please take good care of her (even if I know that she doesn't need that all the time) but please do.
And of course, to you my dearest Yang, the most blooming and beautiful bride with a Cheshire cat smile that won't seem to erase on her face.. can I just say that this is one of the miracles I've witnessed in my entire life. From the moment you said 'yes', to walking down the aisle, saying 'I do' and your vows and committing yourself to this man, well, what can I say? Isn't this the most courageous and bravest thing you've ever done? And the most worth it thing that you done once and only once in your life? You know that I love you and that each day I thank God that you finally have your own fairy tale come true to life. I know, I can be a very clingy friend but somehow today, I'm assured that you are in very good hands (as I find my anxious beating heart found calmness). That you finally have the man who will always be there for you each day of your lives - someone strong and with conviction and always respects you. And someone whom you can be yourself with and share every joy and life's lemons.
Enjoy this ride together with all those speed bumps and hustles that life has to give. Always remember the love you have for each other. Let it grow each day - deliberately and conscientiously. And know that you two is now one (two is better than one as what a song once said) and that you can face anything. For I know that, the Big Guy Up There, will always guide you both.
I love you guys!
Cheers!
p.s.
Can't wait for your mini-me's. Hahaha! :D
