How We Met
A mutual friend's game night over video call. Juan kept losing; Maria could not stop laughing. They talked until three in the morning that first night, and every night after.

How It All Began
Our Story
October 2020
The First Date
Juan drove two hours for dinner in Poblacion and walked into the wrong building twice. Maria thought it was the best thing anyone had ever done for her.
February 2026
The Proposal
A terrace in Batangas, fairy lights, their song. He forgot the whole speech and managed only “Mahal kita. Will you marry me?” She said yes before he finished.

Common Questions
FAQ
What time should we arrive?
Please be seated by 3:00 PM. The ceremony starts at 3:30 PM sharp — Filipino time does not apply to this one.
Can we bring a plus one?
We wish we could host everyone. We can only accommodate the guests named on your invitation.
Is there parking at the venue?
Yes. Parking around Intramuros fills up fast, so allow extra time — or take a Grab straight to the church gate.
Are children welcome?
Our flower girls and ring bearer aside, we are keeping the reception adults-only so the titas can dance in peace.
