I. Our Story

It began with a simple message on a Facebook story.

Their story began with a simple Facebook My Day. She was singing, and somehow, that brief moment became the start of something beautiful. Drawn by her voice, he sent a simple message: “Hello, your voice is beautiful.” She replied with a warm “Thank you,” and from that small exchange, a meaningful connection quietly began.

What started as casual conversations soon turned into daily chats filled with laughter, stories, and shared moments. Day by day, they found comfort in each other’s presence, looking forward to every message and every conversation. Without realizing it, they had slowly become an important part of each other’s lives.

Then came June — the month that changed everything. With sincerity, hope, and a little nervousness, he finally asked if he could court her. Her answer was “Yes,” and from that moment, their journey together became even more special.

As the months passed, their bond continued to grow through patience, understanding, and genuine effort. Every conversation, every laugh, and every shared experience strengthened the connection they were building together.

Their first meeting in person took place at M’lang Plaza. Beneath the bright lights and busy surroundings, the world seemed to quiet the moment their eyes met. There was an instant spark — a mix of excitement, nervousness, and happiness that made the moment unforgettable. Though both were shy, they felt an undeniable sense of comfort with one another.

From that day on, their relationship only grew stronger. Through endless conversations, shared dreams, unwavering support, and genuine understanding, they built a love rooted in sincerity and trust.

And on August 4, 2024, their story reached one of its most beautiful milestones — the day they officially became a couple. What began with a simple compliment on a Facebook story blossomed into a love story shaped by patience, faith, and two hearts that found each other at exactly the right time.

IV. What to Wear

Dressed in red wine, for a church-and-garden day.

Our colour motif is red wine — a deep, romantic burgundy. We’d be delighted if you’d dress in step with it, choosing soft, complementary tones over anything too bright.

The ceremony is indoors at the church and the reception spills out into the garden, so dress for comfort in both. Kindly avoid pure white and ivory — and steer clear of bright red, which competes with our wine.

A few things worth knowing in advance.

We’d love to keep things intimate. If your invitation lists a plus-one, you’ll see their name on the RSVP. Please ask us if you’re unsure!
Please arrive by 1:30 PM for seating. The ceremony begins at 2:00 PM, and we’d hate for you to miss the procession.
Yes and no — the ceremony will be held indoors at the Kidapawan City Seventh-day Adventist Church, while the reception will be held outdoors at The Cascades by Amador.
Parking is available at both the church and the reception venue.
Your presence is the only present we need. If you’d like to give a gift, an envelope at the reception is most welcome — we’re saving for a home of our own.
