Our  Story

What began as a simple conversation on social media grew into a love story gently written by God’s perfect timing and grace. James, then building his career as an engineer, and Angel, faithfully pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor, soon found their casual exchanges becoming something deeper, rooted in friendship, faith, and quiet admiration.


In 2019, they began their journey as a couple, holding on to prayer and keeping God at the center of their relationship. Through every season of joy and trial, they chose each other, and the Lord, allowing every challenge to strengthen their love and every blessing to remind them of His faithfulness.


In their travels, they always made time to visit churches, pausing to pray and entrust their future to God. Among these sacred places, the Diocesan Shrine and Parish of St. Pio of Pietrelcina in Antipolo, Rizal became especially dear to them, a place where they once softly dreamed of their wedding day.


After months of careful planning and with a heart full of love and respect, James asked for Angel’s hand in marriage and sought the blessing of her parents before proposing in December 2024.


Now, with hearts anchored in faith and love, James and Angel joyfully invite you to witness and celebrate the beginning of their forever as they unite in Holy Matrimony, grateful for the God who wrote their story and continues to lead their way.


“We love because He first loved us.” - 1 John 4:19
