In the grand tapestry of life, there are moments that stand out with the brilliance of a thousand stars... meeting you was one of them.

Life is a grand ballroom, where some may call it fate, I call it God meticulously orchestrating the dance of destiny. When two worlds collide, mutual friends introduce two unexpected strangers to one another in the most unassuming of settings, and they fall in love. Little did these two strangers know that they would captivate each other's attention and soon become the very joy, keeper of each other's hearts, and heartbeat of each other's existence. These strangers were Justin and Stacey.

From our very first conversation to our overdrawn and late-night talks about Jesus, we drew closer to one another and our friendship deepened. We became each other's treasured confidant and humble companion. Some challenges we faced were not easy, but that makes this real. We wasted no time, and neither did Jesus—He led, and we followed. He made two strangers into best friends, and the greatest gift is for them to become husband and wife.

Each shared laugh, each whispered secret, each tear that fell, and each stolen glance has woven a tapestry of cherished memories that we will forever hold dear.

We first kissed on August 23, 2022.

In Santa Magedalena, Philippines, we became fiancés on July 10, 2024.

We will take it back and kiss for the very first time as husband and wife on August 23, 2025.

We can't wait for the presence of heaven and earth to come together on August 23, 2025, and embark on this most sacred journey of the sacrament of matrimony. We invite you all to witness the story of the ages and celebrate this union under God.

We met and we talked and it was all because of God.
