Mary & Mario

Our Story

Our Beginning

We started out as childhood friends :-) Just typical playmates... We had a love and hate relationship. I found him boastful at the time, I believe he thought I was snobbish.

He courted me 3 times before I said yes. He courted me when I was 9, 14 and 17... It was a long journey before we became boyfriend-girlfriend on June 22, 2002. I knew then that I was in love. :-)

Our love started on friendship and I guess that's the reason why we lasted this long.... When we started working, we decided to live together. It was actually a long battle since my parents didn't really like him at first. But I am happy that everything seems ok now. They love Mario and I am happy that his family has accepted me.

Starting Our Life Together

Two years ago, we decided to have our house built. We used our savings and at that time, we already had plans to get married. But we felt since we already wanted to live together, it was best to have our own house first.

Now that we already have our own place, we are ready to have a family! And the next step is planning for our Big Day. We are very happy that every thing seems falling into place... slowly but surely...

All decisions are made by us and we like it that way. Our parents are very supportive and that makes us really really happy. :-) Walang nakekealam. That's how we want it to be. That's why we make sure we make the right decisions.

Our Small Family

Mario and I love our dogs so much. We also have 2 bunnies, namely Chibie and Choji. At the right is a picture of our lovely dogs:

1. Yuki - male, half Lhasa Apso half Poodle 2. Girlie- female, half Lhasa Apso half Poodle

They already had 3 male pups: Tori, Tobi and Yuri. We love them so much! They are definitely stress-relievers... They are a blessing to us and I want to make sure that they are part of our wedding... Now, I need to consult my coordinator about that. Hehe.
