Homecoming

Last week, I watched one of my dearest friends got married. It’s a funny feeling because as students in college, you think you’d be young forever.

And then days like this come and you realise how much you’ve all grown. Perhaps not in all the same way but beside each other. And suddenly being on different paths doesn’t seem so scary at all.Image

This is Bea and AM and the wedding gown.

Bea’s family makes the best comfort food. They have a restaurant in Katipunan (Red Roaster at Esteban Abada Street) I always found an excuse to go there and I’m sure Bea and Ryan will make excellent home cooked dinners one day. I can only imagine.

This is Ryan with his parents. I swear that look on Ryan’s face when he saw Bea– that’s how we should be looked at.

This moment has an automatic tear switch with it.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

This photo right here is a foreshadowing of the dancing that is to come.

We spend our entire lives traveling only to find home. Welcome home Ryan and Bea!
