What does it take to reach 40 years of solid marriage? It takes two simple steps!

Step 1: watch this video in HD, with sound on. (Upto the maximum volume that you can, for better feels!)

Step 2: Check out some snippets of what we learned from Tito Ace and Tita Rose's 40th wedding anniversary below.

1) A secret to a successful marriage and family life is a different kind of LRT - love, respect, trust. They're in the core of their relationship. These values are given and received, not just by the couple, but also by their kids.

2) There are usually five (5) kinds of rings in a marriage: engagement ring, wedding ring...and the more important rings that will keep the relationship resilient and lasting:

SuffeRING

When honeymoon stage is over, you'll get to know your spouse more. Flaws and all. This may mean sharing difficulties, responsibilities, problems, in sickness and in health.

RemembeRING

During trying times, always go back to the reason why you saw "forever" in this person.

CenteRING

Whether it's good or not so good days, put God in the center of your marriage.

It worked for Tito Ace and Tita Rosa, hope it can work for you too!

We, as husband and wife, know that this is easier said than done. We are also still a work in progress. But we're making the most of each day - growing and learning together, finding new ways to do so and enjoying passion projects like this!

In making #KasalRosa renewal of vows and wedding celebration happen, it definitely took more than two to tango! Apart from the leadership of Dhiems and support of siblings and cousins, we met some new friends who made everything extra special :

Venue and Catering: Farm Hills Garden

Venue Styling and Coordination: Kristine Cortez and team

(We'll add more to the list, once we have them!)
