SOLEMNITY OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

Our Love Story

First We Met


June 12, 2013 - they met in 2013 as college schoolmates, living in the same community with their dorms inside the campus. They would often see each other, but at first, they were simply strangers passing by with no special meaning. Over time, they became friends - sharing simple conversations, laughter’s, and everyday moments. As the years went by, what once felt ordinary slowly turned into something more, quietly building the foundation of their story.


Our First Date


November 5, 2014 - they went on their first real date - simple, yet unforgettable. It was also the moment when he finally admitted that he liked her. What once felt like a casual friendship quietly shifted into something more meaningful. From then on, the way they saw each other began to change, as their story slowly unfolded beyond friendship


In a Relationship


June 26, 2016 - They officially became a couple, turning years of friendship into a deeper commitment. Their relationship grew through shared moments and experiences, but like many love stories, it faced its own challenges. In 2017, they went their separate ways, taking time apart to grow individually. Yet, some connections are meant to find their way back - and in 2019, they reunited, stronger, wiser, and more certain of the love they share. 


We’re Engaged


January 1, 2026 — They took the next step in their journey and got engaged. It was a moment that marked not just a promise, but everything they had been through—years of growth, separation, reunion, and choosing each other again and again. What started as a simple connection has now led to a lifetime commitment, and the beginning of their forever.
