Hannah....I promise to always remember that you are the love of my life. That you may sometimes make decisions by yourself, being an independent woman. I know that you do these things because you care so deeply about those who are close to you. You are genuinely one of the most thoughtful and considerate people I have ever known. Thank you for your forgiveness and understanding. Today, I promise to love you forever.

Ari.... Long time ago I met the love of my life in you, you are my number one. You make me smile with your corny jokes. I promise to make you smile as much as you make me smile. I promise to love your son Aaron as my own. I also promise to pretend not to be annoyed when you're playing majhong and cards. I will still feed you and your friends with my famous tea sandwiches and caramel machiato.Everyone laugh hearing the marriage vows.When the priest announces that "You may kiss the bride"....Ari kissed Hannah passionately until she was gasping for breath.

The meal was catered by the famous wedding caterer in Gilroy- Yellow Ribbon catering. The towering cake was a gift from Ari's business colleagues from the famous Goldilocks and the 3 bears bakery.

He was excited to have a Mom now.The Davis family was so happy, at last Ari is settled with the love of his life. They are all content and excited. They adored Hannah. She is the only one who can control Ari. Hannah's family was happy too. Finally, she found someone to grow old with. Ima proposed a toast to the newly wed.....Congratulations to my dear Ari, you turned your life around. I am so proud of you! Thank you Hannah for your patient, understanding and forgiveness. We love and adore you! Welcome to the Davis family.

Cheers!

Hannah's family responded...A toast to the newly wed, from our family to yours and to the Davis's....Our sister Hannah was reserved and feisty. We were taken a back when we knew that she was dating then not dating again, then dating again with the same guy- Ari Davis. We thought that she will grow old by herself. She have children but already married. We, her siblings are all married as well. We are happy and elated that finally she found someone to grow old with. Cheers to Ari and to our sister Hannah!

Salute...Cheers!

Ari responded to all the well wishers....Thank you all for your time today, for the nice words of encouragements, congratulatory messages and best wishes. In behalf of my wife Hannah, we are so looking forward for the life that we are going to share as couple. To Hannah's family and friends, thank you for the effort to make this event a very special one and the love you all have for Hannah..I hope you guys will include me in the circle of trust, I am married to her now hahaha....To my family, thank you for the patient and understanding. Yes, Ima...I am a changed man now, thanks to this woman standing beside me. Everyone knew our love story, it's not perfect, the bumps on the road we passed was not easy, it was challenging, full of surprises and frustrations. So many times Hannah was disappointed on me. I did not give up on pursuing her, I know she's the one. My heart belongs to her only. We wish you all the happiness and Thank you for witnessing our very special moment. We are Family!
