Our Love Story

Once upon a time, in the year 2009, destiny quietly brought two young souls together on a simple jeepney ride to school. It was just an ordinary day, yet when Ronnie and Gillian’s eyes met, the world seemed to slow down. Neither spoke a word, but both felt it — a spark, a whisper from Heaven that their paths were intertwined by serendipity.

Back then, they were just schoolmates—friendly, casual, and unaware that love was quietly writing its first chapter. But everything changed in October 2010, when Gillian joined a school singing competition. Ronnie, watching from afar, was completely enchanted. It was then that he found the courage to pursue her—and from that spark, their young love began to bloom.

They shared innocent promises, secret smiles, and the kind of laughter that makes time stand still, as they balanced studies and the sweet thrill of being in each other’s world. On Gillian’s 18th birthday, Ronnie gave her a heart-shaped necklace — a simple but meaningful symbol of his love, which she treasured deeply.

But like many first loves, theirs was tested by time and life’s unfolding plans. In 2012, just before graduation, they parted ways. Gillian, turned to God in prayer—asking Him to guard her heart and to only let love return if it was from the right person. She poured herself into her studies, career, and devoted her heart to her family and faith. Ronnie, too, focused on helping his family and building his future, though deep down, he always felt something missing — as if part of his heart had stayed behind.

Ten years passed. A decade of silence. Yet, God’s invisible hand was still at work. Then, on October 1, 2022, destiny turned a new page. Gillian, who had long deactivated her social media, accidentally logged in after getting a new phone. In a moment of divine timing, one of Ronnie’s friends mentioned her name in a casual chitchat . The friend barely knew Gillian — but Ronnie did. The memory of his first love came rushing back.

Without hesitation, Ronnie searched for her on Facebook and sent a friend request. Gillian hesitated at first, unsure of what to feel. She thought accepting might bring closure — but little did she know, it would open the door to the love story God had written all along.

As they started talking, everything felt different. Gone were the uncertainties of youth—replaced by calm, faith, and maturity. This time, Ronnie was ready to find his bride, and Gillian felt the peace of knowing this love was from God. Everything flowed naturally, like it was always meant to be.

On January 1, 2025, Ronnie knelt before Gillian, pulled out a ring, and asked her to be his wife. Gillian revealed she still had the heart-shaped necklace he gave her years ago — the one she could never throw away, no matter how many times she tried. Perhaps it was too beautiful to let go… or perhaps, deep down, her heart always knew it wasn’t the end of their story.

And now, on December 28, 2025, their story will come full circle as they stand before God, family, and friends—finally sealed in marriage & forever bound by their promise to Him.

Their love is living proof of the Invisible String Theory — that no matter how far two soulmates drift, or how many years pass, the string that connects them can stretch but never break. It is God’s gentle way of reminding us that true love is never lost… it only waits for His perfect time.

Indeed, God writes the most beautiful love stories — and this one, between Ronnie and Gillian, is a tale of faith, serendipity, and forever love. A story that began when they were still young… and has a happily ever after written by God Himself.
