when i was in high school, i saw this girl, a grade six student then. so i courted her and we became sweethearts. she's the only girl i had twice or maybe three times a lady for me. we got on, and then broke up and then on again then broke. that's what i called, my three times a lady. when i got married with another girl, we were not sweethearts already. but she was the only girl i thought who could save me, from that unsuccessful marriage. i wasn't a run away groom, but i thought that if she really loves me, at that time, she will come to stop the wedding. i thought she will come but no. when we met again, quite some time after the wedding, we talked about the marriage and she just told me, "i would be there, if only you told me to do so, but you didn't." my marriage wasn't successful then, and so hers (my former sweetheart). there was even a time she told me that she wanted to come over to cebu and we could be together again. anyway, all those things were over now. i am happy now with my present wife, a native of leyte. and she is happy now, with her only son.

yes dear, i'm very happy now. even with a lot of trials we are facing. i guess the original artist of this song is "The Commodores" with Lionel Ritchie in the lead vocals.

Hello Neil, I never thought you also had a very sweet memory of the past my dear brother. Three times a lady...i always love this song by "Barry Manilow"(i don't know who is the original singer of that song hehehe). Congrats dear,at least you have found your true happiness...wish i could find mine too (hahaha)

Nope it's not shocking instead it is cute. Good for you that you married someone whom you loved. Frankly, I haven't had heard something like this in real life. It is amazing to know that you actually did it. Have a great life, together. Bodhi

Well my dear, it was better to do it then, than be miserable, and get divorsed. I wish I had the guts to do it the first time around, but wasn't as brave as you.

Hello friend, You are right dear,thu it is hard to face the judgemental society for what i've done.I still think about the lifetime regrets for not doing the right thing(which i think is right). And also,this one reason i can understand why some couples get divorced and separation. thanks for your response dear and ...why u said that..that you are not as brave as me?(have you ever regretted something you never did in the first place dear ?)

It must have been really a terrible experinece for you dear jaiho. It must have been more terrible for the poor bridegroom. In my life I have witnessed the cancellation of my cousin's marriage, as he got fits just before the marriage. It was a horrible experience for us when the marriage was suddenly stopped by the bride's relatives. But my cousin got married afterward and he is now having a very happy and peaceful life.I doubt whether he would have had such a wonderful life if he had married that first bride.

I can understand your points my dear sister. Don't worry on that. It is nice that you escaped at the last hour. I think if I were in your shoes I would have done the same.

i've not gotten down the isle yet. sorry to hear about you delima, but it sounds like you did the right thing. stopping the wedding if you didn't love your partner enough, before it was to late. neither would have been happy about it, but it may save a lot of money in the long run.

hello friend, Yah,i maybe did the right thing in the first place for doing it before it is too late. But with the expenses,everything was settled already...it's only 25 days before the expected date my friend,so,everything/every details was done already,from wedding gown,wedding entourage,invitations,the church,the foods...almost everything was paid in full payment already. Thanks for your response dear and keep commenting,have a nice day always too

I have not yet experience being a run away brides, running away to my groom... but i do dream it many times..it look fun to me but i would really feel guilty if it happen to me..it is very insulting..so it is better for me not to make a promises or commitment when one is not yet ready to avoid hurting each other.

so you're a run away bride. well, maybe you have to explain to you're groom about your true feelings. anyways, you cannot force yourself to be married to a guy whom you don't love. Because if you still push through with the wedding, then i think you will have a lifetime of regrets. I hope you're groom will understand it and maybe will learn to let you go.

I've seen that in movies and never thought it can really happen in real life.pls tell me why did you do something like that.was it that you were afraid or you never loved your groom-to-be.

Hello friend, You may never believed,but,i realized i don't love him that much,so,before anything worst could happen for a lifetime commitment,i did run. I knew it was hard for my groom to be to accept and so with my whole family..but..thanks God,after all the hurts and humiliation,they all forgiven me. thanks for your response my friend and keep commenting,have a good day always

this is so sad...for the groom of course when did you do this anyways? you know am in this paranoia stage since it's two in the morning again. i am like thinking, what if am on that guy's shoes, wow that would have been a hit to me. i remember watching a pinoy movie where chinese bride run away with a Pinoy guy and ever since then he's been wasting his life and not even taking a bath. i guess am still dreaming for a good old nice wedding, sure i don't want to have that kind of night mare..if you did that own your own time, what more can be in this generation.some might even run before the engagement is formalize

Hello Letran, Hello my brother,don't you worry,you can avoid this thing if your wife to be is on the family way(buntis,hehehe)joke kapatid. Well,this happens 16 yrs ago. I maybe too stupid to accept the proposal or,let's say,it's a family decision like an arranged marriage,i was 21 by that time(he is my first bf and a family choice too) Ahh...can't really imagine about it till now,the tragic,the humiliation,the hurts (bwuhuhuhu) But,i did the right choice,that's all i know.It's hard to live with someone you doesn't love truly,and maybe,it is even harder to live regretting for not doing the right thing when you still had the time to make it right. Thanks for your share of thoughts on this matter...and yah,it is late now,and early in the morning...(laughs) Anyway,at least ,im not the only one awake by this time here in our country dear.

Hello jaiho Mine is a arranged marriage and so there is no chance of running away. May be even if my marriage was fixed against my wishes, i don't think i will run away, because my family value is more important to me and any parent will take so many strains and faces several hardships to bring up their child and spend sleepless nights if they are sick and shower all love and affection on them. So by running away during the wedding time and put them into shame and face the public wrath is something which I don't like

hello vathsala, I can understand about you friend,becoz it is your tradition and culture(arranged marriage).But here in my country it is not a common practise. Well,what happened to me is like an arranged marriage.Both parties knows that,i don't totally agree with it,so,they understand what i have done after all. And even people here in my country won't judge me,becoz,they also knew about it. We had freewill to choose whom we are going to marry and love,it just happen that,i don't have any boyfriend,and my family and his family were friends,so,they thought we could be a perfect couple,(and he loves me). Your case is so much different from me my friend. Thanks for your response and have a good day always

hello solared, Actually,i haven't got the chance to watch that movie...i will try when i had free time. Uhmnn,it was a very impulsive decision that i make,and,i never regretted doing it. I realized the importance of taking every chance whenever you had the time to make things right,rather than regretting things "why i didn't try it". thanks for your response and keep commenting friend. have a good day always and happy mylotting always
