Our Love  Story

Matthew 19:6

"They are no longer two, but one flesh.

Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate."

Their love story started in high school, where Kenneth was the quiet boy who spoke only when necessary, and Julie was the happy‑go‑lucky girl who spoke even when not necessary. They liked each other… silently. Very silently. So silently that nothing happened, until time pulled them apart and turned them back into strangers.


Years passed. She left, lived her life elsewhere, and eventually found her way back home to Bontoc, embracing a slower pace as she ran a small café. One day, a friend casually mentioned Kenneth, and soon after, a simple Instagram reply brought his name and the memories back to her mind. A message about a cup of coffee became the start of something familiar and new. And just like that, the quiet boy slid back into her life smoother than a latte.


Then one evening, he appeared at her café. The moment their eyes met, it was obvious those old feelings had simply been waiting. He started staying until closing time, pretending he loved coffee when everyone knew he was really there for Julie. Their quiet simple dates felt like returning to a place that had always been theirs.


On March 29 2025, they made it official. Then came long‑distance life: Kenneth at sea, Julie at the café, both surviving on love and patience.


Just before their sixth month, Kenneth, the man of few words asked the biggest question of his life. Julie the girl who laughs at everything, cried happy tears for once. 

From Bontoc, Southern Leyte, to wherever their journey leads, their story was never an accident it was love finding its way back home.


And now, on May 18, 2026, the quiet boy and the sunshine girl finally get their forever.
