Our Love Story
We are Jose Christopher M. Bertumen and Maileen S. Casquero, our journey began when we were first introduce through a videocall in 2024. Then met in a birthday party, the next day I met her and her friends here in LA. Then it seems like we knew each other for a long time then before we know it friendship grew into LOVE. About 5 months into our relationship despite the distance, I knew deep in my heart that she is the one that i wanna be with and share the rest of my life with.
On July 2026, I finally get the chance to get her to say YES in marrying me. And we are very excited to begin the next chapter of our life. We are inviting you to our Wedding on January 2nd 2027.
Thank you for sharing this blessing with us and we are very happy that you be a part and witnesses of our Love story.
