Our Love Story

FROM EXPLORING THE LIFE AT SEA TO EXPLORING THEIR JOURNEY TO INFINITY

 It was on the 9th of March, year 2022 when these two strangers boarded the same flight and crossed paths to take a leap and embark the life at sea onboard Wonder of the Seas.

 Mark first approached Nestlyn while walking her way to the boarding gate in Qatar airport for their next flight to Miami. Conversations between them started until they found comfort in each other.

 Being new to the ship she was, Mark helped her to adjust and become comfortable with the shipboard environment.

 They got along so well for having the same interests and mindsets - from foods to Kdramas to being “Marites” to what’s on each other’s minds, and even their perspectives to people - they are mostly the same.

 With those things being said, a love between them naturally bloomed and the rest is history.

"We've had so many adventures together and this one is our biggest one yet. We are excited to see you on our wedding day as we say I do on August 31!"

-Mark & Nestlyn

Frequently Asked Questions

RSVP is an abbreviation for `répondez s’il vous plaît,’ which means ‘please reply’. And YES, it is required.

Kailangan namin ng inyong confirmation kung makaattend kayo sa aming wedding para ma-finalize din namin ang Guest List, as well as ‘yung headcount for catering and seating arrangements. Makikita ang RSVP form sa bottom part ng website na ito.

Please let us know your confirmation on/before AUGUST 10, 2024. Wag nang patumpik-tumpik pa, RSVP na! Char!

Please understand that our wedding is strictly by INVITATION ONLY. Gustuhin man naming makadalo ang lahat, ngunit limitado lamang ang aming imbitasyon sa mga mahal naming kapamilya at kaibigan. Maraming salamat sa pang-unawa.

Note: Names that are not found on the guest list we have provided to our Coordinator will not be allowed to enter. Sorry na agad!

We would love to have you at our wedding, but we understand that there are some things that are out of our control.
 However, please let us know as soon as possible so we can reallocate your seats.
 Give us a toast from afar.

Please check with us first as we have a strict guest list.
If some seats free up, then we’ll let you know as soon as we can.
Please do not go unannounced as we might not have any available seat for you.

We hope our wedding will be a fun excuse for you to dress up and be fab! Awra yarn? Char!

 Ladies:
 * Cocktail dress
 * Long gown or long dress

The ceremony will strictly start at 3:00 PM , but we encourage that guests arrive at the venue before then as we would love to see you all while we walk down the aisle.

Sa mga manggagaling pa ng Metro Manila, we appreciate your effort para magawi ng Laguna at makaattend sa aming wedding. Kindly just consider the travel time para makaiwas na rin po sa traffic.

Yes, there is a parking area available in the church and reception venue.
However, please remember it’s on a first come, first served basis, so you might not want to be late.

We planned a seating arrangement for our guests’ convenience and group familiarity. Please follow accordingly.
Don’t worry, we make sure na kakilala mo at within your circle and mga makakasama mo sa table 🙂
Kayo ay i-aassist ng aming coordinators para sa inyong designated seats and table.

Ang ceremony at reception venue ay nasa iisang lugar lamang. Pero habang naghihintay magbukas ang Pavillion or Reception venue, this might be a good time for you to do below things..

 * Nagprepare kami ng grazing table para sa lahat habang naghihintay magopen ang Pavillion. Snacks ka muna 🙂
 * Mingle with other guests
 * Take note of your table number and seat
 * Take one good photo using our Instax and stick it to our guest book available at the reception area para meron kaming memorabilia of your presence sa aming wedding 🙂 Aside from that, mag-fill out din ng raffle ticket dahil magkakaron tayo ng raffle draw at the end of the event
 * Take advantage and make good use of our photobooth dahil available lang sya for 2 hours (so make sure you get yourself a photo to keep!)
 * Roam around to check the venue and take photos. I’m sure you’ll love the area 🙂

Syempre namern! And we encourage everyone to use them kapag magsheshare o magpopost po kayo sa social media.

This is a strict ADULT ONLY event. As much as we’d love to celebrate with your kids, the only kids invited to our wedding are the ones in the entourage and those we requested. Kindly made certain arrangement should you decide to attend our event. We hope you understand and still enjoy the event.

Meron na po kaming nahire na professional photographers and videographers na magte-take ng pictures and videos ng aming special moments during our wedding ceremony. So, we request everyone na mag-sit back, relax at i-enjoy na lang ang moment with us.

Please, let’s keep our phones down and in silent mode during the processional and ceremony. Our beautiful images will be available after the wedding.

Also, please keep the aisle clear during the bridal entrance. Wala naman po sanang mang-aagaw ng eksena ko sa pagrampa sa aisle, ano po? Moment ko ‘to!  Char!

Don’t worry, pagtapos i-pronounce na kami ay husband and wife na, kahit gaano pa karaming pictures or videos ang i-take mo, gora na! Pero wag lang po sana nating haharangan ang aming photo/video team na siyang nagcocover ng wedding until the end 🙂

We aim to finish the program by 9PM. Gusto po naming personal na magpasalamat sa lahat ng makikisaya at makikidalo sa aming wedding, at kung maaari sana nating hintayin muna ang Same Day Edit video na mai-play bago umalis.

* Pray with us that the weather will be in favor and for the continous blessings of our Lord as we enter the new chapter of our lives as husband and wife.
 * RSVP agad!
 * Sundin ang aming dress code at wedding motif.
 * Pumunta nang maaga at ‘wag sanang “Filipino time” 🙂
 * Sundin ang seating arrangement.
 * Stay until the end of the program. Wag sanang “Eat & Run” 🙂
 * Enjoy the event and be happy for us.

Ang inyo pong presensya at pakikisaya sa aming kasal ay isa nang magandang regalo para sa amin. Ngunit kung gugustuhin nyo pong magbigay ng regalo, we suggest na MONETARY gift o pera na lamang po upang pandagdag sa aming pangsimula bilang mag-asawa 🙂
