Our Love Story

Once upon a time, before there were wedding plans, sunset proposals, or dreams of forever, there were simply two people finding their way through college.

Their paths first crossed through a mutual friend, at a time when neither of them was quite looking for a new love story. Both had just come out of failed relationships, carrying the quiet lessons and uncertainties that come after something ends. There was no grand beginning, no instant realization that they had just met someone who would change their lives. 

Instead, it started small.

A few simple text conversations became longer ones. Casual hangouts became moments they began to look forward to. Somewhere between shared stories, laughter, and ordinary days, something gentle began to grow.

As time passed, they discovered that love does not always arrive like a grand fairytale. Sometimes, it grows quietly through choosing to stay, listening when things become difficult, celebrating little victories, and standing beside each other when life becomes less than easy. Through thick and thin, they slowly became each other’s safe place, learning that somewhere along the way, they had found a home in one another.

But their story was about to become bigger than the two of them.

In 2012, their daughter arrived and brought a new light into their lives. Suddenly, love took on a deeper meaning. They were no longer simply building a life together; they were building a family. Through sleepless nights, little joys, challenges, and countless precious moments, they discovered a new kind of happiness in watching their little girl grow.

Then, in 2018, beneath the golden sunset of Coron, Palawan, he asked the question that would shape the chapters still to come. With the sea and sky as witnesses, he proposed not simply for a wedding, but for a lifetime of choosing one another and the family they had begun to build. It was a quiet, beautiful promise beneath a breathtaking sky: that whatever seasons lay ahead, they would continue to face them side by side.

Five years later, in 2023, another beautiful chapter unfolded with the arrival of their son. Their little family grew once more, filling their world with another kind of laughter, another hand to hold, and another reason to keep choosing each other every day.

And through all those seasons, their love continued to grow.

Now, their story brings them to October 17, 2026.

Surrounded by the people who have shared in their journey, they will step into their own enchanted forest, ready to begin another chapter; not as two people who simply found each other, but as a family who has grown, dreamed, stumbled, laughed, and loved their way here.

And this time, they won't be saying “once upon a time.”

They will be saying “from this day forward.”

"Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay.”

— Ruth 1:16
