“And above all these put on love which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body.
And be thankful.”

Colossians 3:14-15

“A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.”

“Real love amounts to withholding the truth, even when you’re offered the perfect opportunity to hurt someone’s feelings.”

Our Story

Matthew and Gianna first met in high school at Sorsogon State College—Laboratory High School. They were classmates since first year but got close during their second year.

Just like in some classic love stories, they started as friends. Little did they know, they were each other’s crushes.

Came third year of high school, Matthew revealed his feelings for Gianna and started courting her. It was on February 18, 2011, the night of their JS prom, when Matthew received the sweetest “yes” from her. 

However, some time during college, they decided to end their relationship since it was hard to juggle being in a long-distance relationship and focusing on their studies.

The year Matthew went to Manila for an internship, they decided to give their relationship a second try.

On their 11th anniversary, Matthew proposed to Gianna at Annabel’s Restaurant. Since then, both have been super excited about planning their very special day when they say “I do”.

  16. Gian, I wish you a very happy and successful ahead of you. Kuya mo ako pero ikaw ang nagtayong ate sating dalawa. I owe a lot to you. Babawi din ako sa lahat ng kabutihang loob na ginawa mo sa akin lalo na kay baby Gale.

    Matt, since knowing na nagkabalikan kayo ni Gian, I never doubted you. Nagpakita ka na nandyan ka palagi kay Gian through ups and downs. Just make sure to always stay with each other no matter what happens. I know my sister can be alpha at times pero endure it. Protect her all times since napaka special niya sakin and sa family namin. As her kuya, I am entrusting her to you. Love her, support each other, care for one another and please never hurt her physically.

    I wish you two the best marriage and may your future be filled with love, joy and success.

    -Kuya Meloy
