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.

Our Love  Story

Jen first crossed paths with Haries at the Coast Guard District Bicol, where she often delivered urgent papers. Haries quietly admired her from afar, finding little excuses to see her—even if it was just to ask for a glass of water.


Their friendship blossomed through shared moments at work and in church. Over time, Jen and Haries became close and comfortable with each other. Jen admired Haries’ genuine devotion to God, which revealed the depth of his love and character.


As their bond grew stronger, Haries knew in his heart that Jen was the one. Moved by his deep love for her, the emotional security he felt, their shared growth, and his desire for a lifelong commitment, Haries got down on one knee and asked Jen to be his forever—and she said yes.


Jen knows she is truly loved—not because she is Haries’ first priority, but because he loves God above all, showing a love that is faithful, patient, and true.
