Never in a million years…

Hey everyone! We want to thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to celebrate the joining of our two families. It has been a long journey for us both to get to this point in our lives. We’ll give you a little incite on the adventure which began almost 30 years ago. We went on a date when we were in our early 20’s. Unfortunately, neither of us pursued one another afterwards. So, it didn’t work out and probably wouldn’t have in the long run. We went on with our lives and lost touch for a few years. In 2008, unknowingly, we both happen to move to Hawaii for our own separate reasons and went on about our lives on the island, not expecting that one day our paths will cross once again. Our journey, which was what the Lord wanted us to have, was a long, tough and winding road. We both had hard lessons to learn. When we finally got together in 2022, it was a seamless transition. We talked about how our lives differed, how our lives were intertwined and how our lives were basically similar. It was so effortless when it came to us. Now here we are, ready to take on the world together. We are finally at the perfect place in our lives and the right time to build and live a life together. The both of us are excited and happy to share our unity with you all, our family and friends. We are so humbled and thankful for all the love and support everyone has shown and given us. WE LOVE YOU ALL!
