The long way home
After years of missed hellos, two hearts who shared the same hallways are finally ready to share a life. We would be honored to have you there.

Our love story
Once upon us
Two hearts that found their way to each other.
High school · Where it began
Same hallways, different worlds
Mark and Trix once walked the same high school halls. He was the quiet one, happiest in his own small circle of friends. She seemed to know everyone, across every year level and section, his included.
They shared friends and passed each other between classes, yet somehow never said hello. Neither of them knew it then, but their story had already begun.
His way
Davao, Manila, then the open sea
After graduation, life pulled them far apart. He made his way through Davao and Manila before setting out to sea.

Her way
Cagayan de Oro, then Thailand
She settled in Cagayan de Oro, finished her studies, then set off for Thailand, where she spent seven years before coming home.

For a long while, not a single thread tied them together.
Then, one evening
January 2025
Her name quietly surfaced on his screen, a face from a lifetime ago. He reached out first.

You accepted Mark's friend request
Good eve, ma'am. Thank you sa pag accept.
Shy, gentle, and somehow already familiar.
That first message soon melted into hours of easy conversation, the kind that makes you lose track of time. What grew from that hello felt less like meeting and more like remembering someone they were always meant to know.
Some people you meet.Others simply feel like home.
January 2025
A simple hello, then every evening after
Their long chats became the best part of each day.
Barely two months in
"Drive safely," and something more
On an ordinary afternoon before a long drive home, his "drive safely" was sent with an "I love you" tucked behind it, and hers came just as easily.
Drive safely. I love you.
I love you too.
February 27, 2025
Officially theirs
Five days later, he shyly asked if they were official, and February 27 became theirs.
Across the miles
Two families, one embrace
They built their love across the distance, met and were embraced by each other's families, and began this next chapter the traditional way, with his family coming to hers for the pamamanhikan.

Someday is finally here
Theirs is a tale of almosts and second chances, proof that some love stories take the long way home. Surrounded by the people who shaped them, they will say yes to the life they have always dreamed of.

Chocolate brown to champagne

Keep metals warm
Muted gold, pearls, and brown leather sit best with our palette. Silver is welcome too, kept soft and simple. Please save bright colors for another day.
Choose steady heels
Our ceremony will be held in the garden. Block heels or wedges are kinder to the floor, and to you, than stilettos.
Bring a wrap
December evenings in the Bukidnon highlands get cool. A shawl or pashmina in champagne, taupe, or mocha keeps you warm and on-motif.
Solid fabrics only
Satin, silk, chiffon, crepe, and fine wool all photograph beautifully. Kindly skip prints, patterns, and loud textures.
