We're getting Married!

"Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together." Mark 10:9

Our story started at a church conference when Ray’s uncle (our officiating minister) introduced us. We shook hands and instantly smiled at how perfectly our names rhymed. Ray pursued Esther, winning her over with endless calls and long road trips to visit her & her family. Even when work took Esther to Manila, the distance couldn’t weaken our bond. We both dreamed of building a life in Cebu, so Esther relocated first for her career. We were tested by another season of long distance and conflicting work schedules while Ray worked in Tacloban for a year, but our foundation never wavered. On May 28, 2024, Ray proposed in Siargao Island, surrounded by the people we love. Now, we're both building a life here in Cebu, and we are happily rooted in our church community & friends who became family. After five years together, we are so grateful for God’s perfect timing, His grace, and favor as we finally step into marriage! We can’t wait to say “I do” and celebrate our special day with you!
