After eight Marches, a quiet "yes" beneath a wisteria tree, and a thousand small ordinary days — we are getting married.
We would be honoured by your presence at our garden ceremony and the long, unhurried celebration to follow.

Our Story

2019
The bookshop in Katipunan.
We met under fluorescent light, both reaching for the last copy of a book neither of us would finish. Anna let Louigi have it. He is still apologising.
2021
A long lockdown of letters.
While the world held its breath, we wrote. Postcards, voice notes, a shared playlist of fifty-seven songs — most of them slow, all of them ours.
2024
Sagada at first light.
The fog spilled over the rice terraces and Louigi forgot every word he had rehearsed. Anna said yes anyway, before he could begin.
2027
And so, a garden in Silang.
We gather everyone we love beneath the trees of Bella Rosa, exchange the words we have been practising for years, and then we eat — for a very, very long time.
