The Couple

THE GROOM

Real Name:     
John Joseph Miguel Amida

Nick Name:     
Jay

Birthday:         
November 19, 1983

How he describe himself:

I'm just a simple and laid-back (on the borderline of being lazy) kind of guy. I can just sleep all day, have t.v. series/movie marathon, play video games until my eyes can't take it anymore and start to feel dizzy, read action/war-themed novels, and just stare into nothingness thinking of absolutely nothing (sort of yoga less the crazy poses). Aside from playing basketball (physically and virtually), i don't really have other social activities which probably makes me on the side of being more of an introvert. I love music but I guess music doesn't love me back.

His thoughts on marriage:

For me, marriage is like a life-time project which you need to give all your time and effort for it to succeed. A project that requires love, trust, loyalty, and teamwork from the couple for it to prosper. A project that will not only benefit the interests of the couple but all the other stakeholders (family and friends) who invested and believed in them.

What the bride says about the groom: 

Jay is a very loving person. I can say that he loves me more than I love myself. I bet no one can love me as much as Jay loves me. Though at times, he cannot keep his cool due to traffic jam, my kakulitan, mounting tasks etc… he can still manage to make it up to me and say his SORRYs and I LOVE YOUs. Jay is someone I can depend on and I’m most secured whenever I’m with him. There are a lot of things I cannot do but with Jay, I know we can get it through… together! I will never get tired of thanking God for Jay because I believe the years we spent and will be spending together will never be that fun, satisfying and exciting without Jay. And now, I’ll be tying the knot with Jay, I cannot ask for anything more but the blessing of God in the center of our marriage/family life.

THE BRIDE 

Real Name:    
Jenny Lyn Fernando Manuel 

Nick Name:    
Jen/Jing 

Birthday:        
June 29, 1985 

How she describe herself:

I always thought I’m a simple girl but with my lifestyle, hobbies and everyday living… it’s really the opposite. I’m fond of anything girly (clothes, shoes, accessories, bags) but I’m not particular to brand. I like being organized maybe because I always forgot things so I trained myself to being organized and a planner. I can say I’m very sociable and I value friendship a lot. From kinder to college, from my officemates and churchmates, I thank God coz I’m truly surrounded by great and kind people. 

Her thoughts on marriage:

I’m scared at first because for me marriage is equivalent to responsibility no more mama to take care of me. I’m scared yet more excited knowing that I’ll be with Jay in one roof to build our own family. I’m not good in doing household chores but since Jay promised that he’ll take care of the laundry I guess that lessened my worry. Nevertheless, I’ll do my very best to be the best wife and mother ever (like my mom :-)). 

What the groom says about the bride:

Jen is like an angel sent from heaven to help me walk in the right path. Aside from her looks and charm, she also used her overpowering personality to change my boring character to a more lively one. She likes to travel A LOT, socialize, and doesn't stop thinking of ways to get my attention off my boring hobbies. She is very organized that is why I always get in trouble when I mess her schedule because of being late. She loves her family very much and will not hesitate to unleash her wrath if someone messed with her loved-ones. But most of all, she is a God-fearing woman.
