OUR STORY
10 years, forever more to go!
It all started in 2014 when we met in Davao City while studying clinical pharmacy. We kicked things off as friends, but with the help of our awesome crew from Baguio, Pampanga, Manila, Cebu, Davao, and General Santos, we quickly became more than that, making some pretty unforgettable memories along the way.
By December 2014, our friendship took a little turn. We started hanging out more, just the two of us, and really started to get to know each other better.
By July 2015, we packed up and moved to Cebu City for our first jobs. We’ve been through it all—new friends, promotions, travels, typhoons, weight loss (then regaining it!), and everything else life threw at us.
Then, on October 23, 2019, during a family trip to Osaka, Japan, Mark popped the big question—down on one knee with a red box in hand. Obviously, I said YES! We were all set for a June 2020 wedding, but then… well, the universe had other plans. COVID happened, Mark’s immigration status progressed, so we decided to hit pause on the wedding.
And here we are now, better than ever! We’re beyond excited and grateful to celebrate this special moment with the best people in our lives!
