Our Love Story

how it STARTED?


Our love story began with a chance encounter, a serendipitous moment in a bustling place in Quezon City. The spark in our eyes ignited a connection that grew with every moves and shared conversation. Little did we know that God has more intricate plans woven in our hearts. It was a long journey navigating each other before we realised that we found ourselves entwined in a dance of rediscovery and burgeoning love. Truly, He makes everything beautiful in His time. We understand now that we were destined to be together, and our journey had only just begun.


As we stand on the threshold of our wedding day, we reflect on the chapters that brought us here-friendship, shared dreams, a heartfelt proposal, and the unwavering support we've given each other. With God as our compass, we will venture forward, knowing that our story was eternally etched in His timeline. We can't wait to start this next chapter, writing our happily ever after together.
