Our Love  Story

“You don’t date your best friend. It’s too messy, too risky – unless they’re the one person you can’t imagine your life without.”

-People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry


There are times when even the most striking loving relationship is, in fact, there all along and just needing to be discovered within a friendship. This is a story most have heard before; a couple who knows everything about each other’s hearts and even how to make each other smile without any words being exchanged, eventually move from being friends to lovers. The shift from friends to partners is not dramatic and isn’t painted with bright colors but is very small and quiet though very powerful – the realization that the constant presence is actually the one. In effect, there is an intricate link between love and friendship: a bond of trust and togetherness that grows and develops in an extraordinary manner.


If someone would tell us 12 years ago that we would be together in the end, we would probably laugh and ask why him/her? I am not his type and she was with someone else when I realized that I should have more courage to pursue her. When we were in college, we became best friend that know each other’s secrets, doubts, fears, and dreams. Little did she know i was already falling in love with her and i am on a crossroad between maintaining the comfort of our beautiful friendship and me wanting more. I maintain the status quo. After that, I devoted my time deflecting the feelings that i have to her on something that is not worthy of my time. Years passed, we graduated, passed the boards, trudge our own paths professionally and personally but we didn’t lose contact. And then, the same crossroad appeared on my path again, this time I took the other way. And that leads me to the beautiful relationship that we have now. Just like our wedding song, when we finally see the light, when we took the blinders out it felt like the world has shifted and we are where we are supposed to be – with each other. 


We don’t mind people saying that a friend is a friend and we should look somewhere for potential partner. If Nietzsche is right when he said "it is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages" then we are on the right path. Join us as we celebrate our wedding surrounded by our closest friends, family, and the people who are dear to us.


“You deserve someone who loves you with every beat of his heart, someone who thinks about you constantly, someone who spends every minute of every day just wondering what you’re doing, where you are, who you’re with, and if you’re OK. You need someone who can help you reach your dreams and protect you from your fears. You need someone who will treat you with respect, love every part of you, especially your flaws. You should be with someone who could make you happy, really happy, dancing-on-air happy.”

-"Love, Rosie" by Cecelia Ahern

  • Do we really need to RSVP? We already said "YES" to the couple.

    YES Please!


    We have prepared this wedding for a long time, we want this to be intimate, memorable, and enjoyable not just for us but also for our guests. Furthermore, this is much needed for us to finalize the headcount for catering and seating purposes.


     Please accomplish the RSVP form on or before December 2, 2024 to confirm your attendance.


  • What if I RSVP'd but cannot attend?

    Our guest list was carefully crafted with people that one way or another contributed and makes us who we are as a person (personally or professionally) and as a couple. As such, your presence would be meaningful to us but there are circumstances that we really cannot avoid and we understand that. Please let us know as soon as possible so that we can reallocate your seat/s

  • May I invite a "PLUS ONE" to the event?

    We would love to accommodate all of our family and friends but we have a limited number of guests that we can accommodate. Kindly check our invitation to know the number of seats allotted for you. Please understand that this event is strictly by invitation only.


    We have instructed our wedding coordinators that guests not included in the guest list will not be permitted to enter.


  • Am I allowed to take pictures and/or videos during the ceremony?

    Our wedding ceremony is camera-free. We hired professional photographers to capture this momentous event of our life, so we encourage everyone to be fully present with us during our wedding ceremony. Furthermore, it is strictly prohibited in our church to have a phone open during the ceremony, church officers will ask you to turn off your phone before entry, please follow them.

  • Am I allowed to take pictures and/or videos during the Wedding Reception?

    YES!


    Take as many as pictures and videos as you want to make our wedding more memorable. Please tag us also in your photos and videos using our official hashtag:

  • What time should I arrive?

    We recommend that you arrive 30 minutes before the ceremony starts to make sure everyone is seated on time. Once the ceremony starts, church officers will not grant you entry. Please be on time.

  • Other details that I need to know in the wedding ceremony.

    We have a separate seating for male and female guest in our church, and this strictly enforced during the entirety of the ceremony. Our church officers, specifically, deacon and deaconess will guide you to your seat. 


    Avoid frequent standing once you are seated so as not to disrupt the ceremony.


    Please don’t CROSS DRESS. 


  • What happens after the ceremony?

    A short photo session will commence, this will be limited to immediate family member, principal sponsors, and our entourage. Don’t worry we will have an unlimited photo session in the wedding reception.
