THE MARRIAGE


DECEMBER 23, TUESDAY MORNING AT 4:00

OUR ELOPEMENT: While she was buying bread with Apung Quica in Pabalan's Bakery, she made a poor execuse to hear the night mass and without any due answer, she made her way and like a flash of lightning, I grasped her inside a carromata which was stationed in front of Alimurung's house. The horse of Uncle Vicente Tuason sped on its way direct to San Fernando Station and we rode the 5:15 o'clock train bound for Manila. We arrived in the city at 7:20 and we first bought a pair of slippers in a Chineleria store in lieu of her wooden shoes she was wearing.

OUR WEDDING: January 15, at 6:00a.m.

Early in the morning of this day, (Thursday) we were married in the Sampaloc Church here in Manila. Our sponsors are my uncle Tiborcio Tuason and Mrs. Juliano Supangco de Arcigal, the mother of Geling. A little preparation for the family was made in the home of my Uncle Ambo. This is the Calvary of our Romance we have sprinkled with our utmost devotion and sincerity and will have to face another stage of life and build a home of our own and indulge in a commercial and economic way of living.
