Our story

How we got here

Just as the world slowly opened up in 2021, Berna and Jacent were oblivious that their paths would be intertwined. The couple met unexpectedly through a mutual friend during the pandemic, where it started with a casual message about cat litter. The cat talks then became a constant exchange about life, food, and anything they could talk about. Days turned into weeks, then months. Some push and pull here and there, but eventually patience won.

“Walang matigas na tinapay sa mainit na kape.”

A bit of a cliché, but that same patience came in handy in their LDR, especially in keeping up with each other's temperament. They took a chance at love, they took a chance at a long-distance relationship, and just as the LDR chapter is closing, another one is opening up to jump into. This roller coaster called life, only this time, together.

We're keeping children to immediate family only. The venue is small and the mass is long. We hope this gives you a rare morning off.

Do I get a plus-one?+

Some invitations include one. Type your name into the RSVP below and you'll see exactly who your invitation covers. Either of you can reply for both.

Is there parking?+

Yes, at the church, and at The Chandelier. Arrive with a buffer. 9:30 AM means seated by 9:30 AM.

What if I can't get signal at the church?+

You won't. Screenshot the day card above and download your map route before you drive up. Nothing on the day requires your phone.

Gifts?+

Registry wording to come from the couple.
