Jakarta Wedding of Philip and Arianty “Lifted Up”
Arianty, in Philip’s words, was the woman who made him a better and stronger person.
We can only imagine how simple this love is— yet it’s capable of so, so much.
…So much, that mere words can bring life, that a touch can reassure that someone rightfully exists in this very moment,
that a hug can make someone feel that everyday makes all the hardships in this life, worth it.
Arianty, looks at Philip just the same: the bearer of unconditional love, that one person to “save her from the weight and pain of life”.
Her stillness, her bravery. Both rolled into one.
We’ve all felt this kind of love at some point in this lifetime. We’ve all experienced it, first hand, or even not.
It made us better. Stronger. Capable of so much more.
It made us forgive, forget, and laugh again.
It made us sing and dance, it made us cry, whether or not through hurt or through complete joy in silence.
It made us stand firm, it made us fight, it made us surrender.
And that’s the sweetest thing about love— it’s gentle, yet it lifts you up. And next thing you know, you’re a totally different person from before.
You are braver. Made more whole. Made more ready to face whatever lies ahead.
