As one of the bridesmaids, standing beside my dear friend Alyana "Yana" Asistio on her wedding day, is a moment I will always treasure. I've known Yana since 2015, and her family has always felt like home to me. With my father, Dioceldo Sy, serving as one of the godparents to "the Havs," the occasion felt like a

celebration not only of love, but also of family, faith, and God's perfect timing.
