r&r forever

Richiel and Robin Justin first met as children at their church in Seattle, Iglesia Ni Cristo—just two familiar faces unaware that their lives were quietly being woven together. Eventually, they became teen friends and then college carpool buddies. Justin would drive half an hour out of his way to pick her up—clearly very dedicated—all while secretly crushing on her. Richiel, of course, had no idea. Life took them on separate paths for more than a decade—until fate unexpectedly brought them back together, first in Hawaii, then again in Washington. Over breakfast, they realized they shared the same values, dreams, and vision for the future. What began as friendship felt suddenly deeper—and it just made sense. Though 1,000 miles apart, Justin visited Richiel in California twice a month, and in those moments, Richiel realized this love was true—and worth coming home to. They created a life filled with travel, adventure, and wonderful memories together. In September 2025, Justin proposed on a private beach in Bali—Richiel’s dream destination—where they said “yes” to forever. From two little kids came a love story and a happily ever after. And now, they can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter of their story with you ♡
