Our Love Story
Kevin and Gladys met because of Jay-Ar, brother of Gladys and friend/choirmate of Kevin. After seven months of courtship, their relationship started on November 6, 2016, during Gladys birthday.
After almost seven years of being together, Kevin thought it was time to take the next step. So on a beautiful place in Cebu, the Magellan's Cross, Basilica de Sto. Niño, he got down on one knee and popped the question, and Gladys replied, Yes. They were engaged on August 27, 2023. And now they invite you to share in the next part of their story.
We've had many adventures together and this is our biggest one yet. We're so excited for you to join us as we say "I do" on our wedding day on December 30, 2024.
-Kevin & Gladys
