A Bride couldn't start walking on the aisle without her father.

This was a Story made by our friend Jamel Ara Pasilan at Facebook in which it made as a trend on Philippine Weddings filmed at San Agustin Church, Intramuros, Manila (February 28, 2020) before the CoVid 19 Pandemic began.


THE WHOLE STORY:

Yesterday’s wedding was not about grandness and glamour.
It’s a normal bride-walking-down-the-aisle-moment, the groom was crying and there were happy tears everywhere, when suddenly Tin, our bride stop in the middle of the aisle.
“Bakit po parang ang tagal na nakatayo ni bride sa gitna, ano po nangyayari? First time po yang mangyari dito sa San Agustin Church.” The church man curiously asking me.
I was assigned to do the top shot that day so I really don’t know what’s happening sa ibaba. Nakikita ko lang na parang wala yung Daddy ng bride sa dapat na pwesto nya.
Mukhang ayaw mag lakad ng bride hanggat wala ang daddy nya.
Five minutes have passed, nakatayo pa din si bride sa gitna ng aisle.
We saw some church people and some of the coordinators making a sign for her to go on walking, but the bride stand still. Firmly. “Hihintayin ko si Papa.”
Knowing San Agustin, very strict sila sa oras.
Ten minutes have passed, pero hindi pa din masabi ng mga tao nasaan mismo si Daddy. Sinusubukan nilang tawagan pero base sa itsura ng family nila there are no concrete answers.
Around 15 minutes passed. Paano kung hindi talaga aabot si Daddy?
What happened to him talaga? Nakita namin sya na naunang umalis sa parking bago kami umalis ng hotel. Nasaan na nga ba si Daddy?
More than 15 minutes biglang dumating si Daddy humahangos…
… and the crowd was clapping and cheering, and everyone was so happy, and I cried. We’ve been shooting weddings for almost 10 years and now, it sinks in really hard... it all goes down to that one special thing, FAMILY...
Who will forever stand by your side, together... walang iwanan, kahit ano pa yan.
You know what happened to Daddy? Hindi daw sya pinayagang magpark sa San Agustin for some reasons, so he went back to Manila Hotel to park his car. Tapos nag Taxi na lang sya, at nung feeling nya hindi sya aabot, basta na lang sya nangharang at biglang umangkas sa kung sino mang motor na nakita nya. Nagalit ang may ari ng motor nung una. “Pasensya ka na! ikakasal ang anak ko kailangan ko umabot.”
He might be thinking his little girl is waiting for him.
And yes, she is waiting for Daddy in the middle of the aisle.
