This bride from Cabanatuan City received a special and hilarious wedding gift from her cousins!
Siblings Lorryne, Andrea, and Chazity wrote a special song for their 28-year-old cousin Kathleen and performed it on her wedding day last April 14, 2024.
“Sabi niya gift na lang namin sa kanya na mag-compose kami ng kanta describing her.Then nag-experiment kami ng mga songs na pwedeng mag-fit in. Usually ang common na ginagamit or kinakanta is ‘yung ‘Part of Your World’ pero nag-try kami parang patay,” Lorryne told The Philippine STAR.
Adding, “Sa YouTube kasi kami naghahanap ng mga karaoke para if ever na may gusto kaming tune lalapatan na lang namin siya ng lyrics. Saktong kasunod ng ‘Part of Your World’ is ‘yung ‘Material Girl.’”
According to Kathleen, she did not think that her cousins would be so serious about her request. She even asked them to teach her a dance step for the reception.
“Eh di kinanta na nila.Ta’s parang nahihiya na ‘ko, sabi ko, ‘ano ba?’ ‘Di ba usually kapag gumagawa ng kanta parang ina-appreciate si bride, ‘yung magagandang sinasabi. Ta’s ako parang puro pamba-bash naman ata ‘yung sa’kin. Pero nag-enjoy naman ako at marami rin namang natuwa du’n sa video kasi nakakaaliw nga talaga,” Kathleen shared.
Lorryne and Andrea were the ones who composed the song. They said it only took two hours to finish it.
“Nag-isip talaga kami ng mas maayos, ‘yung hindi siya maba-bash, kaso sabi namin, ‘Wala ‘kong maisip, do’n na lang tayo sa realidad.’ Mahirap magpanggap kaya ‘yung totoo na lang talaga, ‘yun na lang ‘yung nilagay namin. So, Pa’no ba si Ate K sa ganto, sa ganyan, ‘yun ginawa namin kung ano talaga siya sa’min,” Andrea recalled.
“Wala man lang pagfi-filter na ginawa,” Kathleen said in jest.
The girls also took the opportunity to look back on the things that their Ate Kathleen did for them, both good and the bad.
Andrea added, “Kinakabahan pa ako baka baka magalit si Ate K.”
“So ‘yung mga nagko-comment sabi nila, ‘Waiting for Puklo and Bireng.’ Para lang makaganti. Sabi ko sa kanya, ‘‘Wag ka mag-alala, kapag ando’n na ‘yon, kapag kumanta na tayo, wala nang magagawa,’” Loreen said.
Kidding aside, the Garcia sisters said they were happy that their Ate Kathleen finally found “The One.”
“Naiyak po.Nung unang sinabi sa’min ni Kuya Juno, syempre merong part sa’min na emotional kami. Kasi alam namin lalayo na siya dahil ikakasal na siya. Pero masaya naman kami kasi nahanap niya na ‘yung The One for her,” Andrea noted.
As of this writing, the uploaded video on TikTok has already garnered more than 2.2 million views on social media.
“Masaya ako kasi na-discover ‘yung talent namin. Masaya rin ako na kinasal na siya. Gano’n pa rin naman ‘yung bond namin pero mas naging mature ng onti si ate,” Chastity said.
Despite entering a new chapter in her life, Kathleen has a message to her cousins.
“Promise ko, kahit na nag-asawa na ko, darating ‘yung time na magkakaanak ako. Hindi mababago ‘yung pagmamahal ko sa inyo. Kung pa’no ‘ko nandito lagi para sa inyo, ‘pag kailangan niyo ‘ko,” she stressed.
