We know, in a fairytale, finding the prince is not as easy as it looks like. Cinderella must be tough enough to stand the abuse of her stepmother and sisters, and trust me, running on a hundreds of stairs with those glass high heels shoes is not easy. Spending most of the time living in a small room with a witch like Rapunzel and never had the chance to see the outside world is a torture, and it must be very hurting when someone is climbing an entire tower with your hair. And don’t forget, about Snow White, living as a fugitive with a queen who wanted to kill you is terrifying, and of course, have you ever imagine your life as a girl living with 7 miners men ?! But after all, with all the cost that they’ve paid, it will make the “Happily Ever After” worth it. 

There are a lot of things in this world that we cannot see, but we can feel it clearly. And as a human being, we are equipped with not only our body, but also with our soul that helps us to think and to feel, and with our spirit to help us to touch the untouchable. That makes us live not only by what we know, but also sometimes, or I must say many times by what we believe. 

If we talk about this couple, honestly there are so many differences that make them very unique as a couple. Rizal himself, he is a really hard thinker person; his head is filed with logical things and playing with common senses. But all of those things hide perfectly under his charming manner. Vivie, she is a believer who lives in her own fairytale world. Like what I wrote above, she lives not only with what she knows, but also with what she believes; she believes unicorn does exist. But even the entire sea won’t be enough to accommodate if we are about to talk about their differences, so they have decided to made peace with it and start talking about their feeling, one they commonly have for each other, Love. 

I never met a couple so sweet like Rizal & Vivie. They are really special. From the moment we met on our first meeting, we can see and feel that they are so charmed with love. A really strong one, who make their eyes never look away from each other, they keep on holding hands and never get separated from each other, and their smile never fades while they are looking at each other, and their joyful looks are never get wiped of their face. 

I know, like all the fairy tales I mentioned above, their process to finally be together is not easy. Sometimes life gives you a taste of a bitterness to make you appreciate the “happily ever after”. That day, when we were finally there as a witness to their wedding, I remembered Vivie said to me personally, “After all you’ve been through, you will know that God is good.” 


With Love,
