Win-A-Wedding 2nd Edition Winner
“I know everything happens for a purpose. God has something in store for each of us. Our prayers may not be answered so quickly, or overnight, but God will give us the answer in His perfect time; when we are fully ready to receive it. We just have to faithfully wait for it.”
– Marie France Moren
September 15, 2009 seemed like an ordinary day. Doing her usual errands, Maffy was not prepared for what will come her way. While drafting a contract for a client, she left her Facebook account open. A message came in. She could not believe her eyes. It was from a Roel Vincent Castro, congratulating her for winning the Win-A-Wedding promo of Hizon’s Catering. Apparently, the guy who left her a message also joined that promo and saw the announcement of the winner online. The message was clear, but somehow Maffy found it hard to consider. “It must be a scam”, she thought to herself. Roel even sent her the notification message from Hizon’s Catering with her and her fiancé Andy’s name on it. She immediately checked her email and was stunned when she saw the email from Hizon’s Catering confirming that she and Andy were indeed the couple who won the Win-A-Wedding raffle promo. It was as if she was floating on mid-air. “Is this really true?” She asked herself over and over, trying to grasp some sense of reality to this somewhat surreal experience.
She never expected to win. In fact, she only tried to register in the online raffle once. Continuing with her everyday life, she was oblivious to the huge surprise that will come their way. But it was a blessing really meant for them. Out of more than seven thousand entries, their name was selected. For them it was a great sign, a confirmation that the love they have for each other was really blessed in a lot of ways. For Maffy in particular, it was as if fate has lead her to this moment, and to this man. It was all in perfect timing.
Since a little girl, Maffy always envisioned herself marrying at the age of 27. Whenever asked about it, she consistently gives the same answer, “I’ll get married at 27.” Pondering about it, she doesn’t have a definite explanation how that idea came about. It was only now that she began to connect the pieces altogether. Two years ago she met Andy. They came to know each other through Andy’s cousin. He was interested the first time she saw her, but she didn’t feel the same way back then. Coming from a failed relationship, she was a skeptic when it comes to love and to possible suitors. But his perseverance won her heart. He became her good friend, constantly sending her messages through text. The connection furthered when they realized that they came from the same Alma Mater in high school. Slowly, the friendship blossomed into love. Now, at the age of 27, Maffy’s dream of getting married finally came true. With the wedding scheduled on December 2010, and with the help of Win-A-Wedding promo by Hizon’s Catering, this lovely couple is only months away from making their dream wedding a reality.
