Without mincing words but still managing to make his homily sound polite, Fr. Fidel told the couple that their parents are not really 100% happy about them getting married but will support them anyway and have accepted their decision. Still, he told the young couple that though their parents should always remain important in their lives, their spouse is now more important.

“Ito’y alam at tanggap ng inyong mga magulang. Kaya naman kahit sila ay masaya para sa inyo, ay may kirot sa kanilang puso. Sapagkat ang kanilang anak nasa harapan nila, pinag-aral, binigyan ng magandang bukas sa kabila ng hirap ng buhay; hindi pa sila nakababawi, nag-asawa na. May sarili nang prioridad ngayon. Pero ito ay tanggap nila,” Fr. Fidel said.

Still, the couple should also not forget that the have become who they are today due to the sacrifices of their parents.
“Kaya ngayon, kayo ay kayo. Kaya may kasal ngayon. Ano man ang marating pa ninyo sa habang panahon, yan ay dahil sa pagbibigay at pagmamahal ng inyong mga magulang. Kaya ang pagtulong sa magulang, kahit konti lang at paminsan minsan, bagama’t hindi kayo obligado, ito ay hindi dapat pinag-aawayan kundi dapat pinag-uusapan ng mag-asawa,” Fr. Fidel added.
But the priest also prepared advice for the parents. Due to the marriage, each of the parents gained a new son or daughter. According to Fr. Fidel, they should not take sides when the younger couples fight because the two are now their children and should be treated equally.
Going back to the young couple, he told them that before they start their own families they should first thank and pay respect to their parents. The two did so, crying as they hugged their parents. Then, the priest told the parents to be friends and accept each other as their children’s co-parents!
Everyone felt the priest’s powerful words. Here’s the tear-jerking video:
