It’s the signs of the times. Two weeks ago, two of my high school classmates got wed. Their relationship started with talks, literally behind the curtains when we were still studying. By September, another high school couple will marry. And this week, a very special “friend,” will be wed in a civil ceremony.

The last one holds a very special place to my heart because although things didn’t work out for the both of us, I really wish her well. You know that I will always be here for you no matter what happens. Had I been fast and stood by my ground, we could have been together. There are so many things that I would like to tell and ask of you and hopefully I’ll be able to do it before you marries. I just didn’t think that it was appropriate to talk about it when we met last Saturday and talked for almost two hours. Funny, you’re not even married yet but you’re already talking about annulment. Too much for the mushy stuff. Here are some of the wedding songs that you might want to play during your wedding, either in the church or in a civil ceremony. Filipino love songs, specially those by Ariel Rivera, really hits the heart.

Minsan Lang Kitang Iibigin
Ariel Rivera
Minsan lang kitang iibigin
Minsan lang kitang mamahalin
Ang pagmamahal sa’yo’y walang hangganan
Dahil ang minsan, ay magpakailanman

Tunay na Ligaya
Ariel Rivera
Ikaw ang tunay na ligaya
Tanging ikaw, sinta
Umaga, hapon kahit magdamag
Laging ikaw, sinta
Hindi magsasawa sa piling mo

Ikaw

Ang ibigin ko’y ikaw

Now That I Have You

Now that I have you

Singing my whole life through

Now that I have you

Ngayon at Kailanman
Sharon Cuneta / Ariel Rivera
Ngayon at kailanman
Sumpa ko’y iibigin ka
Ngayon at kailanman
Hindi ka na mag-iisa
Ngayon at kailanman
Sa hirap ko ginhawa ka
Asahan may kasama ka sinta
Naroroon ako t’wina
Maaasahan mo t’wina
Ngayon at kailanman

Pangako
Regine Velsquez / Ogie Alcasid / Manilyn Reynes
Pangako, hindi kita iiwan
Pangako, di ko pababayaan
Pangako, hindi ka na mag-iisa
Pangakong magmula ngayo’y
Tayong dal’wa ang magkasama

Araw Gabi
Regine Velasquez
Araw-gabi
Nalalasing sa tuwa
Kapag kapiling ka
Araw-gabi tayong dalawa

Kahit Kailan

Kahit kailan, di kita iiwan
Kahit kailan, di kita pababayaan
Kahit kailan, kahit kailan
