Our Love  Story

Isaiah 60:22

“When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen”



The couple’s love story began in 2013 in a typical office environment. While workplace relationship seemed common, their love story is relatively unconventional as they were from two different departments. Considering possible competing interest at work, Dessa was at first disinclined in allowing Benz pursue her but Benz had been persistent proving that love transcends everything. Officially, they became a couple in June 2014.


A month before the couple celebrates their 10th anniversary, they got engaged at Paoay Church in Ilocos Norte. The moment was solemn yet magical, only the two of them in front of the church with God as their sole witness.


Being together for more than a decade has taught the couple that love is a conscious decision you must make every single day. It’s about compromise and acceptance of each other’s fragility. It’s knowing that a lasting relationship entails unending  patience, respect and commitment to choosing each other above all challenges.


Over the years, Benz and Dessa had kept a lowkey and private relationship, just like how they are in person. Now that they are taking on a new journey together, they wanted to celebrate this milestone with the people closest to their hearts as they know that special moments, when shared with loved ones, create more valuable memories.
