Our Wedding

We met on a dating app called Hinge on March 25, 2024 and we had our first date at Bella Terra on April 3, 2024. After 3 weeks of getting to know each other, we agreed to be a couple on April 16, 2024. We are involved in church and serving together as well as participating in each others family celebrations. On December 21, 2024 we got engaged in front of our friends, who were involved in the planning of the engagement and cover story for getting to the photo op area. Our close family were there also when we got engaged, but they were hiding so they would not ruin the surprise. All glory be to God our Father in heaven, for He has made all things possible.

Our Story

Photos

Michaela has been my best friend in the whole world since we were both little girls. When I had a speech impediment as a child, she was my translator and the only person who understood me. Over the years we spent many play dates playing, praying, crying, and laughing together.

Michaela Lavey

Emily and I met when I joined Amplify, the young adult's bible study in February 2021. We have cried together, laughed together, prayed together and played together over the four years we've known each other.

Emily Humble

Olivia and I met in February 2021 when I started to go to Amplify, a young adult's bible study group. We have grown our friendship, praying for each other, and walking with each other through trials throughout the last four years.

Katie has been my friend since we both were at Golden West College. We have been friends since 2018 when we were both so involved in student government and clubs as well as being scholars that we barely had time for ourselves.

Katie Cormier

Alexa has been my friend since we went to Golden West College together in 2018. We have been friends for all these years and she has always cared for me and all her friends like a mom.

Alexa Nissen

We met few years back in my old church FSBCA. I first hung out with his cousins, whom grew up in the church. He used to live in Chiraq before moving here. He has been in IT for a while and somewhat has gotten me into it also. He's one of the most generous person I know, and he has a heart in blessing others.

Eumir Tayco

We first met in youth group in FSBCA. He was one of the youth leaders that I grew close to, and we still hang out even after I graduated from high school. He helped me in my spiritual walk while I was in youth group and he is still serving faithfully at the church that I used to go to.

Adam Channita

I have known him almost as long as I've known Adam. I first met him at church through one of my close friends in high school, Iana. They basically grew up together because their family knew each other. One thing everyone should know about him is that he's very caring.

John Tayco

Another of the Tayco clan, John's older brother. I knew Ian through John and we met at church also. We became closer over time as I see him every time I see John or whenever I come over to their house. He's one of the most friendliest and outgoing people I know; you'll catch him at the dance floor at the wedding.

Ian Tayco

This is John and Ian's oldest brother. I became friend with Aldion the same way with Ian, but a little bit later on. He lived in Chiraq before also, and has moved here about a year ago. We started to know each other as we see each other more through group hangout, but grew much closer as we play games together.
