How we met
We first met years ago through a mutual friend, briefly crossing paths. Years later, life brought us back together at work—this time with him as coworkers- and quickly became friends... and strictly just friends. At least at first. Somewhere between daily conversations, shared laughs, and him coming to my door step with a bucket of Jollibee, roses, and chocolates, that friendship turned into something more. Turns out the best relationships grow from the least expected beginnings. Now engaged and planning our wedding, we’re excited to keep building our forever—together.
Avayah's Parents.
First came love, then came a baby… and now comes the wedding! Becoming first-time parents to our daughter, Avayah, showed us how strong our love really is. Our journey didn’t follow a traditional timeline—but it’s been perfect for us. Becoming parents showed us how strong our love truly is, and we can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter as a family.
