In an emotional journey to feel her late father's presence on her wedding day, bride Judy Aclan from Misamis Oriental embarked on a quest to find the old family car, a white SUV once cherished by her father, Tatay Francisco. The car, sold almost a decade ago, held a treasure trove of memories for Judy, including her being driven to the hospital for her first childbirth and numerous family outings and celebrations.
The vehicle was not just a mode of transportation; it was a vessel of cherished moments with her father. From ferrying Judy's daughter Chesca to school to being part of significant family milestones, the white SUV was integral to the Aclan family's life. Due to Tatay Francisco's illness, the family had to part with the car in favor of a more comfortable vehicle with air conditioning, marking the end of an era.
After Tatay Francisco passed away in 2020 at 82, Judy continued her life, eventually finding love with her soon-to-be husband, Christopher. Despite the joy of moving forward, Judy couldn't shake off the wish for her father to be part of her special day. "I wish you were the one to walk me down the aisle on my very special day. We both looked forward to this day, but you're not here. With all of my heart, I wish it was you," Judy expressed, echoing the sentiments of a daughter's longing.
Remembering the white SUV and the exorbitant rental prices for a bridal car, Judy saw an opportunity to incorporate her father's memory into her wedding. She reached out to the mechanic who facilitated the sale years ago but hit a dead end without contact information for the buyer.
Turning to the internet for help, Judy's plea resonated with many, leading to a message that pointed her to the current owner of the white SUV. What happened next at the buyer's residence was an unexpected gesture that deeply moved Judy, creating a poignant connection to her father for her wedding day.
