A Bride's Song

Let me start this feature by saying that knowing about this wonderful story makes me feel blessed, grateful, inspired, moved, and in love. Thank you so much Jhoanna, for sharing this with us.

The most wonderful, rebellious ideas are still the ones that really move your heart. It has always been about that. It's not about the smokes and mirrors. It's about letting your love story shine through just the way you would want it to be told.  Indulging yourselves as the ultimate dynamic duo, as the ultimate bride-groom team and creating your wedding the way you REALLY want your wedding to be, devoid of outside forces is what Rebellious Brides has always been about.

Rebellious Bride Jhoanna Regalado wanted to sing to the world of her love. And she was determined to do it in the best way she knew how---through a collaboration with the country's top composer, Trina Belamide.

Jhoanna writes: I used to be the lead vocalist for an acoustic band called  Belcanto years back. And I thought that coming up with an original song to serve as our save-the-date video music would surprise my music-loving-husband-to-be. That said, I only had one of the best composers in the Philippines in mind - Trina Belamide.

I hope that this moves you as much as it moved me. Listen to the lyrics carefully. Enjoy :)

I CHOOSE YOU 

Jhoanna’s Song 

Music and lyrics: Trina Belamide 

I. Wasn’t looking for love then 

Wasn’t looking for love when 

You stepped into my life 

Had walls all around me 

Then you came and you found me 

And never left my side 

PRE-CHORUS: 

 (‘Coz) You saw something in me and I in you 

You’ve been there for me and you’ve seen me through 

Moments that I’ll be ever grateful for 

So forevermore 

CHORUS: 

I choose you 

Oooh… I 

I choose you Oooh… I 

I choose you Oooh… I 

I choose you 

II. Tough times all behind us 

Now destiny finds us 

Finally on our way 

Every day and forever 

For worse or for better 

Together we will stay
