Day 94: On Changing Religions

Ms. Philippines Shamcey Supsup bagged this year's Ms. Universe 3rd-runner up besting more that 80 contestants from all over the world. i'm posting here the question asked on her during the pageant and her answer to which i most definitely agree:

“Would you change your religious beliefs to marry the person you love, why or why not?’’

“If I have to change my religious belief, I will not marry the person I love because the first person that I love is God and He created me. And I have my faith, my principles and it what makes me who I am. And if that person loves me, he should love my God.’’

Day 85: A Baptist Wedding

like i mentioned in a previous post, today i attended a baptist wedding. for a preview of what would transpire on my big day. neither cris nor i plan on changing religion. anyway, the baptist ceremony follows the same rites  of readings, sermons, blessing and prayer, minus the sign of the cross, along with fairly standard wedding vows. of course, at all in the same order as that with catholic weddings. 

on a side note, no matter what rites every wedding would be held under, the same basic elements should be magnified by the celebration: love, respect, joy. best wishes jona and raffy!
