How We Met

Long time friends, forever soul mates

Christine & Ramil met almost 25 years ago during a 7th grade basketball game: St. Vincent’s vs. St. Catherine’s. Eventually, they went to high school together and became close friends during freshman year. Busy sports schedules and different circles of friends meant they had little time together and so they grew apart the rest of high school. Fast forward to many years later… One day during her senior year at San Francisco State, Christine was getting ready to go out with friends when someone knocked at her door: Ramil. Both were dumbstruck. Ramil was supposed to go to the apartment of a girl named Crass, not knowing that was Christine’s nickname among close friends. She had expected to find her friends at the door, not the familiar face of a friend from high school. Christine, Ramil, and her besties and some of her best guy friends went out that night to see her perform with the band Bayonics at SF State’s pub. After that night Ramil started hanging out with Christine's circle of friends. Ramil couldn’t help but fall for Christine. From then on, he knew they were destined to be together. Christine couldn't help but notice that Ramil was still the same sweet, cute and friendly guy from high school and initially denied she had a crush on him. One night in January 2004, all the friends decided to hang out at D&B's in Milpitas to eat and play some games. By the end of the night, he casually asked for her number since they both drove separately he wanted to make sure she got home safely. She called him once she got home, and they talked all night and into the morning. Ramil asked her out to dinner that morning, she happily joined him. and the rest…is history. They got engaged April 2009 and they were married on Oct. 30, 2009 during an intimate ceremony surrounded by immediate family in Wailea,Maui and now they have 2 beautiful kids (Elyssa 9, Elijah 7) this year celebrating 10 years of marriage (15 years together).
