Biag Ni Lam-ang - Marriage

Marriage

Lam-ang, upon arriving home, decided to court his love interest, Ines Kannoyan who lives in Calanutian (Kanluit). Despite his mother’s disapproval, he followed his heart and set off again on another journey to his love. He faced one of Ines’ suitors and various monsters, but again was able to vanquish them with ease. Aiding him were his magical pets, a cat, dog, and a rooster. The bird flapped its wings and a house toppled over. This feat amazed everybody present, especially Ines. Then, Lam-ang’s dog barked and the house rose up. Being invited to the lunch of the family of Ines, Lam-ang impressed Ines’ parents with his wealth and upon returning he gave the family two golden ships. Their nuptials were celebrated with a lot of feasting.
