“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.”
– from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
The road of marriage is rarely straight and narrow–and it must not be, for what about the excitement and thrill of not knowing what’s waiting ’round a corner?

Here are the teasers for the Prenuptial Photoshoot of Darius and Bellesa. It was taken by the sea, a symbolic place for any couple who’s about to begin an exciting new chapter in their lives.
The horizon is a beautiful thing to look at. At times though, it can give a sense of gloom and foreboding, especially as a storm rolls in from the ocean. There is comfort in knowing that after the strong winds that often bring the sting of sand and rock, after the rain that may even overflow to the higher shore, there will be a spot in the horizon where light will begin to show. It will begin to penetrate the dark clouds, backlighting their shapes and giving us breathtaking sketches in the sky. Various colors may even show, and if we’re lucky, it might even be just in time for a beautiful sunrise or a soothing sunset.

For Ryan and Marj’s prenuptial shoot, we were very lucky to have been able to do it in the beautiful Legazpi City, Albay; with no less than the majestic Mayon Volcano as the backdrop! The setting is very apropos to the special event that these two lovebirds are preparing for. People are being warned at the moment to stay clear of the temperamental volcano. Many even fear it now, but there are still brave people who venture near it. That’s a lot like marriage, isn’t it?
For people in love, like Ryan and Marj, braving marriage is definitely a worthy adventure.

The bamboo tree is a very good symbol for marriage, isn’t it? It is very unassuming in appearance, but it is one of the most resilient among all trees. Its is strong not because it is unbreakable, but because it bends when the wind beats too strongly against it. Its roots go deep and hold firm to the ground where it stands, anchoring the tall shoots and preventing them from toppling down.
It is the same thing with marriage. Couples will always face challenges. There will be fights, but sometimes they have to choose their battles so that their will and spirit will not be broken. All these they will endure though as long as the marriage is rooted firmly in their love for one another, and their love for God. A marriage with God in its center will weather all storms.

Sometimes, flying feels too godlike to be attained by man and sometimes, the world from above seems too beautiful, too wonderful, too distant for human eyes to see . . . but if lovers put God in the center of their relationship,… couples transcend to a holy and fruitful unity.
