Our Journey

how it began

Our Love Story

Two souls, one shore. Our love story unfolded between quiet mornings, long road trips, and an island that always felt like home. Here is a glimpse of how we came to be.

2019

How We Met

A rainy afternoon in a tucked-away Manila bookshop. He reached for the same novel; she smiled and let him have it.

2020

Our First Adventure

A spontaneous weekend in Boracay turned into the place we'd return to every year — the island that quietly became our second home.

2022

Building a Life

We moved in together, adopted a tiny rescue named Luna, and learned that love grows in the smallest, softest moments.

2024

The Proposal

Sunset on White Beach, ankle-deep in the tide. He knelt where the water met the sand and asked her to spend forever with him.

2026

The Wedding Day Ahead

We return to the island that started it all — to say I do, surrounded by everyone we love.

Things to Do

Stay a little longer. Here are some of our island favourites, from quiet coves to sunset spots.

White Beach

Four kilometers of powder-soft sand. Best at sunrise — bring coffee.

Puka Shell Beach

Quieter, wilder, framed by tropical foliage. Perfect for a slow afternoon.

Sunset Sailing at Willy's Rock

Charter a paraw at 5pm and let the sky do the rest.

Dine at Aplaya

Toes-in-sand seafood and live music as the sun goes down.

Mount Luho Viewpoint

The highest point on the island — a panoramic farewell to your day.

Island Hopping

Crystal Cove, Crocodile Island, and Magic Island — a full afternoon of swimming.
