Our Love Story

It all began in July 2012, when Marco had just completed his production training and met Donna. From the very first moment he saw her, he was captivated. What started as simple lunch dates, church visits, and movie nights soon blossomed into something more. Just a few weeks later, Marco confessed his feelings. The courtship went on for about six months—marked with persistence, a few rejections, and unwavering hope—until the day finally came when Donnalyn said “yes.” Marco describes that moment in one word: euphoria. And on December 25, 2012, they officially became a couple—what a magical way to spend Christmas!


Since then, they’ve shared countless adventures together: discovering new places, supporting each other at work, debating over movies and shows, and most of all, bonding over their shared love of food. (If careers hadn’t kept them busy, they’re pretty sure they would’ve ended up as food critics!)


In March 2020, the pandemic brought a new challenge—distance. With Donnalyn working abroad, the relationship became long-distance. But with constant communication, encouragement, and love, they overcame the miles between them, proving their bond was stronger than ever.


And now, after years of love, growth, and resilience, they are ready to begin the next chapter: a lifetime together. Whatever challenges may come, they know they’ll face them hand in hand.


Join us as we celebrate our forever on December 17, 2025.
