Our Love Story

“AN UNEXPECTED SPARK”

 ALLAN AND PATRICE MET IN LATE 2019 IN LOUISVILLE KENTUCKY, USA. PATRICE IS FROM BATAAN WHILE ALLAN IS FROM TACLOBAN CITY. BOTH WORKED FROM THE SAME HOTEL IN UNITED STATES WHERE THEY MET FOR THE FIRST TIME. WE ALL KNOW FILIPINOS LIKE TO HOLD GATHERINGS TO WHERE THE TWO STARTED TO BOND WITH EACH OTHER ALONG WITH THEIR FELLOW KABABAYANS. BOTH WERE INTO COOKING AND CONSTANTLY EXCHANGING HOME COOKED FOOD ALMOST EVERYDAY.

 AS ALLAN PURSUES PATRICE, HE INVITED HER TO SPEND VALENTINES DAY TOGETHER AND WENT TO A THAI RESTAURANT FOR THEIR FIRST DATE. THE DATING CONTINUED UNTIL THEY OFFICIALLY BECAME TOGETHER AFTER TWO MONTHS OF GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER.

 TWO YEARS LATER, OCTOBER 04, 2022, THEY PLAN A TRIP TO LAS VEGAS WITH THEIR FRIENDS. ALL ALONG, PATRICE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS THEIR FRIEND WHO IS GOING TO PROPOSE BUT IT WAS ALLAN WHO MADE A PLAN TOGETHER WITH HIS FRIENDS TO HELP HIM OUT. ALLAN ALREADY ASKED PERMISSION TO PATRICE’S FAMILY AND FINALLY DID PROPOSE TO PATRICE INFRONT OF BELLAGIO HOTEL AND CASINO ON OCTOBER 05, 2022. IT WASN’T THE SMOOTHEST PROPOSAL THAT HE HAD PLANNED BUT IT WAS THE SWEETEST “YES” ALLAN EVER HEARD. A LOVE THAT SPARK IN AN UNEXPECTED MOMENT OF THEIR LIVES.

we hope you will come

Yes, there is a parking area available in the church and reception venue.

We hired professional photographers and videographers to capture our special moments so that you can sit back, relax and enjoy it with us. 

Please keep your phones in silent mode during the processional and ceremony. Kindly keep the aisle clear during the bridal entrance.

The room will only be available for 2 nights, from September 25-27. For confirmation, please inform the couple as early as September 10 if you will be staying in the provided accommodation or book your own room. 

We will be needing the full names of the guests that will be staying in the provided accommodation. 

NO, there is no food and drinks provided in the accommodation. However, there are nearby restaurant and fast-food chains that you might want to try or food deliveries are available as well. (Food Panda, Manganph, Papaph and Ordermo)
