WELCOME TO OUR WEDDING WEBSITE


We can’t wait to celebrate our special day with you. Feel free to have fun to take a look around. Thank you for the love and support. We are so excited to share this day with you!


As much as we love to invite everyone, we are only inviting you. We have chosen the people close to our hearts. We would not want anyone to lose a seat and want everyone to be able to enjoy a sumptuous meal.


John 15:12

“This is my commandment: Love each other as I have loved you.”

Our Love Story

It all began in 2015, when Emerson and Alvi were both active in a youth organization during their college years. Their worlds crossed in the most unexpected way, meeting for the first time at the UCLM skywalk through a mutual friend, on their way to attend a youth event called Love 360 Forum. What started as a simple chance encounter in the vibrant heart of the CFC‑Youth for Christ community soon blossomed into a meaningful and beautiful friendship.


From then on, they found themselves constantly texting and learning more about each other. Emerson was drawn to Alvi’s devotion, which revealed the depth of her faith and character.


In 2016, Emerson gathered the courage to confess his feelings. At first, Alvi wondered if it was just a passing thought, since they studied at different schools, lived in different regions, and spent much time apart. She didn’t take it seriously at first. Yet Emerson knew deep in his heart that Alvi was someone simple, faithful, and extraordinary.


As the years passed, they grew together, maturing, serving, and becoming the best versions of themselves. Their shared passions and commitment to service led them from YFC to SFC, strengthening their bond even amid the challenges of a long‑distance relationship while Emerson worked overseas. Despite the distance, their love only deepened, proving how perfectly they complement each other.


When the time came and they felt ready, physically, financially, and emotionally, Emerson shared his plans with his parents and sought the blessing of Alvi’s family. In 2025, before leaving again to work overseas, he asked Alvi to marry him, and thus began the next chapter of their lives together, a lifetime filled with love, adventure, and shared dreams.


Alvi knows she is truly loved, not simply because she is Emerson’s love, but because he loves God above all, showing a love that is faithful, patient and true.
