Our Story

From first hello
to forever

Every love story is beautiful, but ours is our favorite. What began as a simple hello grew slowly and surely into the life we share today, and the family we've built along the way.

Now we're gathering the people who matter most in the place that means the most, to celebrate the promise we've been living all along.

We can't wait to share this day with you, with good food, good music, and the people we love best.

More coming soon. Check back in September for details.

Travel + Stay

Getting here

The celebration is at Casa Gertrude in Lubao, Pampanga. Here's everything you need to plan the trip: flights, transfers, and where to rest your head. Flying in from abroad? Give yourself a buffer day to settle in.

Fly In

Clark International (CRK) is the closest airport, about 45 minutes from Lubao. If your route doesn't serve Clark, fly into Manila (MNL); allow around two hours by car depending on traffic.

Ground Transfer

We're coordinating transport for out-of-town guests on the day. Tell us your arrival plans in your RSVP and we'll make sure you're taken care of.

Passports & Entry

US passport holders can visit the Philippines visa-free for stays up to 30 days. Make sure your passport is valid at least six months beyond your travel dates.

Weather & Packing

Expect warm, humid days and balmy evenings. Pack light, breathable fabrics, comfortable shoes for celebrating, and sunscreen. A light layer for air-conditioned spaces is a good idea.

Host Hotel

To Be Announced

We're arranging a recommended hotel near the venue with a group rate for wedding guests. Details will be shared here and with your invitation.

Little Guests

Bringing the kids?

Children are warmly welcome, ours will be there too. Here's what we've set up so the little ones (and their parents) have a wonderful time.

The Play Booth

A dedicated, supervised play area runs through cocktails and the reception: games, activities, and room to be a kid while the grown-ups linger at the table.

Allergies & Preferences

There isn't a separate kids' menu, but please let us know about any allergies in your RSVP so we can take note of it.

A Note to Parents

We want you to actually enjoy the evening. Let the play booth do its job, stay for the dancing, and tell us in your RSVP how many little ones you're bringing.

A Written Note

Words outlast everything. A letter of advice, a memory, a blessing, bring it with you or send it ahead. We'll keep every one.

Questions, answered

Don't see yours here? Text us directly: 424-477-9542 or 310-592-8759. We'd rather you ask.

  • Please RSVP by September 30, 2026. We need firm numbers for catering, seating, and the play booth well ahead of the day. Missed the deadline? Message us directly and we'll do our best.
  • Semi-formal with a tropical ease: linen suits, flowy dresses, elegant separates. Light, breathable fabrics are your friend. Please leave white to the bride.
  • We're keeping the guest list intimate. If your invitation includes "and guest," then absolutely! Otherwise, we hope you understand, and if you're unsure, just ask us directly.
  • Yes, warmly. There's a supervised play booth and plenty of room to run. See the "Kids" section above, and include the little ones in your RSVP.
  • Note any restrictions or allergies in the RSVP form and the kitchen will take care of you. For severe allergies, please also message us directly so we can confirm with the caterer.
  • Yes, please — this isn't an unplugged wedding. We just ask one small favor: during the ceremony itself, keep your phone down and be fully present with us. Our photo and video team will capture every moment, and we'll share a group album afterward. From the reception on, snap away — the photobooth is all yours.
  • You'll see a confirmation on screen right after you submit. If anything looks off, or you need to change your answer later, just message us and we'll update it for you.
