Our Story

“But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Mark 10:6–9

The journey of two souls in love

2023

Where Our Paths Crossed

God orchestrated our paths to cross, turning a simple “Hi” into finding the love of our lives. Though chasing our dreams soon put 3,605 kilometers between us, God’s grace and our reunions made the distance fade and our love grow deeper.

A Promise Made

Two years later, beneath a bright sky by the endless sea, an unusually quiet Joseph finally asked the question. Nerves melted into joy with a resounding “yes,” and we promised forever with the ocean as our witness, thanking God for leading us to that moment.

Forever Awaits

On the 25th of October, surrounded by our closest loved ones, we will say “I do.” Every step from that first Sunday morning has been a gift from above. With grateful hearts and God as our foundation, our most beautiful chapter is just beginning.

Photos and the highlight film from the wedding day will be added here after the celebration.
