Until We Say "I Do"

From Seatmates to Soulmates

🪑 Seven Days, Side by Side

June 2010

In a classroom where fate played matchmaker, she transferred to my school, Holy Spirit Academy of Laoag. It was just for seven days, but that was all destiny needed.

🎓 A Glance in the Crowd

June 2018

We saw each other again on graduation day at Divine Word College of Laoag. We smiled, took a photo, and exchanged social media accounts. We didn’t speak again for two years, but that memory lingered quietly, waiting for its cue.

🎂 The Message That Stayed

April 2020

Two years later, he sent a simple greeting, “Happy Birthday, seatmate!” That message sparked a conversation that never stopped. From that day forward, our story found its rhythm, one conversation at a time, until it led us here: to a promise, an engagement, and a lifetime ahead.

😷 Together, Apart

July 2020

We officially became a couple during the height of the pandemic. Our dates came with face masks, face shields, and physical distancing… But even with all the barriers, love found its way through.

💍 A Promise on Her Birthday

April 2022

Two years into our journey, he asked for my mom’s blessing, quietly, respectfully, and full of hope. On my birthday, he proposed. I accepted wholeheartedly, knowing that every moment before had led us here.

💒 The Knot We’ve Been Weaving

September 2025

Three years later, we’re ready to say yes again. This time, we are saying yes in front of God and the people we love and care about. With hearts full of gratitude and stories woven into every glance, we’re tying the knot and beginning the next chapter of our lives.

This is our story,

of quiet beginnings, missed chances, and a love that waited for the right time to unfold.

Frequently Asked Questions

What time should I arrive?

If you're joining us for the ceremony, please arrive no later than 2:30 PM. The processional begins promptly at 2:45 PM, and we’d love for everyone to be seated and settled before the magic starts.

Can I bring a plus-one?

Due to limited space, we’re only able to accommodate guests specifically named on the invitation.

Are kids welcome?

We’ve chosen to make the reception adults-only, with the exception of the little ones in the wedding entourage and those specifically invited. We hope you understand.

What if I can’t attend all events, is that okay?

Totally okay! If you're only able to join us for the reception, that's perfectly fine, but just make sure to RSVP if you're attending that portion. Since seating and catering are tightly planned, your response helps us make sure everyone is comfortably accommodated.

What’s the deadline to RSVP?

Please let us know by September 8, so we can finalize the headcount and seating. Your response means a lot to us.

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

We kindly ask that all phones and cameras be tucked away during our church ceremony. We want this moment to be felt fully, with hearts and not screens. Our professional photographer will be capturing everything beautifully, so you won’t miss a thing. Once the reception begins, feel free to snap away and share the joy! We’d love to see your photos and memories from the celebration. Don’t forget to tag us!
