One summer weekend in 2024 in Lipa City, Batangas, our paths finally crossed—without us knowing we were meeting the love of our lives. Though our parents had been longtime friends, God had reserved this moment for His perfect time. From that first conversation, we felt an undeniable connection, as if the world faded away. God had been quietly preparing our hearts through every season, leading us to one another exactly when we were meant to meet. “There is an appointed time for everything” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). On December 14, 2024, in Dallas, Texas, we said yes to forever. With grateful hearts, we look forward to beginning our married life on February 24, 2026.
