When I first heard “Kiss The Rain” by renowned South Korean pianist and composer, Yiruma, I thought it was a decently good piece but didn’t think much of it only until recently when I came across a wedding video of a Filipino couple that had been circulating online that I felt the tune could be that beautiful and sad at the same time.
Rowden and Leizel had planned to get married on 8 July 2014 on his 30th birthday. In a cruel twist of fate, Rowden was diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer in late May. He married Leizel in the hospital and passed away less than 10 hours after saying his vows.
I was really moved by the video and when I saw Rowden’s big smile at the end, I felt happy for him too that he had his final wish fulfilled and that he was blessed with so much love from his family and friends.
Hi Geri, this video brought tears to my eyes. It is very touching. The music is beautiful.
Hi Chitra, I cried too when I watched this. Life is just too unpredictable but their love is such a heartfelt one…
