Our Story.
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?
Ecclesiastes 4:9
(2024 Christmas Eve at Ninong & Ninang place)
Lovely and I met in the most unexpected way, and it’s a reminder that timing truly is everything. Had we missed that precise moment, we believe that we might have missed out on the destiny we now share. But surely, it was NEVER EARLY, NEVER LATE, IT’S JUST ON TIME!
After two weeks of messaging and long conversations on the phone, I (Aaron) was invited to celebrate Easter Sunday at Hope Church’s Filipino service (by Lovely Grace). I went there simply to worship but little did I know, that day would mark not only our first time meeting in person but the beginning of the most beautiful chapter of our lives forever.
(This photo was taken on the day we first met in person. Lovely thoughtfully added their names as i couldn't remember everybody's name)
Our virtues, faith, beliefs, outlook and purpose in life are in perfect harmony. We are convicted, we are better together.
In a short period, as we got to know each other more and as God generously gave His unmistakable signs and confirmations to us, we realised with absolute clarity that we are God’s answer to each other — Lovely is God’s answer to me, and I am God’s answer to her. We are meant to be!
(One of the very first signs that was given to us was a picture that was taken of us worshiping. What are the odds that we'll end up in the same frame on that specific day?)
Few months after that first meeting, we levelled up our friendship and entered into a relationship - a decision we not only share with each other, but with our parents’, families’, leaders’ and friends’ blessing. Time swiftly passed. With the confidence that comes from the Lord, and with everyone’s support, we planned to seal our love for each other onto our road to forever!
(We completed our Marriage Preparation Course!)
Our story started with slow and short chats which developed into long meaningful chats, to real friendship and love, to forever. Now, we can't wait to celebrate this incredible day and journey with all of our loved ones and friends!
