Our Wedding

Our Blended Family

John and I met at just the right time of our lives. He was a single dad and I was a single mom. We connected through our parenting and nerdy stuff such as animes and being movie buffs. We both love adventures and making new friends. We became great friends and did a lot of things together with our kids and friends. Eventually we realized how much we both love each other and how much we want to be together all the time no matter what we are doing (although he does annoy me and I annoy him, we both want to annoy each other for the rest of our lives). All the fast curves and detours was worth the wait if it meant it lead us right to each other. God shaped us into who we are today and put us where we are meant to be. God could not have chosen a better man. John is my cooling calming water sign to my fiery heated self.

Q + A

I choose this location due to the cultural aspect and beautiful architecture of restored Spanish homes transported there from all over the Philippines. You can stay at resort/museum (not recommended since it is old houses and I’ve read reviews regarding plumbing and AC issues) but we are planning on renting a villa or mansion by beach for everyone to split or you can make other arrangements.

John and I love comparing good prices of flights at this app called Skyscanner if you haven’t heard of it download please. Wherever you are coming from it is important to note that there will be a long flight to the Philippines so prepare to download several good movies to watch or shows to binge on or a good book to hunker down in. If you are lucky enough to fly with us we will work out the details with you and keep each other company with games, good gossips, and giggles along the way to make you forget the long journey. If you are flying in before the 19th to the Philippines then book Manila airport. My mom house has extra rooms for us to stay in for free. The air b and b is booked for the 19th to 23rd closer to the venue. Which is 5 hours away from Manila. You can ride van to get there or fly direct. Or you can take the ferry across the bay. The 19th or later is Clark international airport closer to the venue.
