Hello Hive Family! Merry Christmas to all of you! I am overflowing with happiness to share that my older brother is now a married man!

For a long time, this has been more than just a celebration, it's been a dream finally realized. My brother and his partner have been together for 20 years, building a beautiful family and raising three wonderful children. While their love and commitment were never in question, they had not had a formal wedding or marriage certificate.

I always dreamed of seeing them officially married. This wasn't just about tradition, but also for the practical security it provides their family. Here in the Philippines, a parents' marriage certificate is crucial for their children's future—for college applications, job requirements, and other official documents. Raising three kids is no small feat, and through it all, their bond only grew stronger. For years, I gently encouraged them to take this step.

And now, the dream is real! At 49 and 45, my brother and his wife stood before God and their loved ones this December and are now officially married in the Catholic Church. My heart is so full. Congratulations to them!

The wedding was held on December 20th, 2025, which made the day doubly meaningful; it was also the very day my own book was published. It was a day of beautiful beginnings! Now, please enjoy some pictures from their long-awaited and blessed celebration!
