OUR
LOVE
STORY

From the very first moment, we knew. It wasn’t complicated or uncertain, even though we were thousands of km apart. It was instant, real, and undeniable, like destiny quietly doing its work.

Our connection was effortless, and our love. Just three months after he proposed, we began our family. Ten years later, we’re still choosing each other every day, as partners, as parents, and as best friends.

This celebration is more than an anniversary; it’s a renewal of love, faith, and commitment. Standing before God in a Catholic celebration, we honour our journey, our family, and the life we’ve built with full hearts, deep gratitude, and a love that continues to grow.

"TEN YEARS
TOGETHER, ONE
LOVE, ONE FAMILY,
ONE FOREVER."

SCHEDULE
OF EVENTS

DETAILS

Our Mass ceremony will take place at 12:00 PM on Thursday, in honour of keeping the exact anniversary date from ten years ago, a day deeply meaningful to us. Our evening celebration will follow at 6:30 PM.

We completely understand that a weekday noon ceremony may not be possible for everyone due to work or prior commitments. Please know that your presence at either or both parts of the day is a gift in itself. We warmly welcome you to join the ceremony if your schedule allows, and we look forward to celebrating together in the evening.

Your presence at our wedding is truly the greatest gift we could ask for.

However, if you feel called to give, we kindly invite you to support a cause that has deeply touched our hearts. Through a close friend, we learned about Celeste, a little girl in Colombia born with a severe facial condition. Beyond the medical challenges she faces, Celeste has endured constant bullying, causing her to withdraw from school and many everyday activities.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of a doctor in Colombia, her surgery has already been donated. However, her family must temporarily relocate from their rural community to the city for several months during her recovery. Her father is a farmer, her mother is her full-time caregiver, and they need support for housing and essential living expenses during this time.

The organization supporting Celeste’s journey is Fundación Nadia Cartagena, a foundation dedicated to helping vulnerable families and children in Colombia.

There is paid parking near the venue and a few free street parking slots available. As the date approaches, we’ll send the exact location and parking details via SMS. If you need assistance or special arrangements, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Not at all. We completely understand that our noon weekday Mass may not work for everyone. Please join us for whichever part of the day your schedule allows —whether the ceremony, the evening celebration, or both. Your presence is what matters most to us.
