Our 5th Wedding Anniversary
Love Mae and I met on the 16th March 2004. Exactly one year later we got married on the 16th March 2005 in England and then a further year later on the 18th March 2006 we got married again in Love Mae's home City of Iligan in the Philippines. This is now our 5th and almost our 4th wedding anniversaries respectively :-)
I decided to surprise Love Mae with a slideshow of our marriage in the Philippines, set to music that is very relevant to us, and to share this here with whoever else is interested :-) I have also put together a slideshow and soundtrack with just a handful of images that record when we met, our time here in the UK, our trip back to the Philippines and back here again.
When we met, Love Mae was isolated from the rest of the world due to the very poor economic situation that exists there for a large proportion of the population. She was like a small fish in a small tank, unable to grow or progress in any direction. But for the last five years she has been swimming freely in the open sea of life and has grown into an even more amazing person than she was when we met - and she amazed me then! I am so thankful to her for her huge heart and her overwhelming love for me that never fails to amaze me every day since we met.
For Love Mae:
"I am so very proud of you in every way Sweetheart. You fill my heart by being such a wonderful wife, loving me like no other, caring for me like no other and sharing with me like no other. I recall finding it difficult to call you "Love Mae" when we met because the use of the word "love" as a name was strange to me. But I quickly realised that you absolutely epitomise love and nobody could be more appropriately named than you. Just one of many areas where you have shown or demonstrated that my first impressions may be wrong! But one thing I am sure about is that the images and music here will bring a smile to your beautiful face and you know that this is my number one objective each and every day. I consider myself fortunate that this task is easily acheived as you are always so quick to smile whenever you can. You will never stop amazing me with everything that you are Love Mae. You are complete, and you complete me. LULxxx.....
ENJOY! "
