Archie & and Catherine

Our story began in the most ordinary way—at our workplace, where our colleagues would often mention our names to each other, long before we ever thought we would become part of each other’s lives.

Then came a simple friend request. A small beginning that neither of us knew would lead us here.

In October 2019, after Catherine passed her licensure examination, Archie sent her a message to say congratulations. From that simple message came conversations, invitations, birthday celebrations, and eventually, courtship. What started quietly soon became something we both cherished.

On December 17, 2019, Catherine said yes. ❤️

Since then, we have shared countless road trips, movie dates, lunch breaks, celebrations, and ordinary days that became special simply because we were together. We grew together, supported each other through changes, and learned that love is not only found in grand moments, but also in the little things we do for each other every day.

When our careers eventually took us to different institutions, we held on to a promise we made: when the time was right and we were both ready, we would choose each other for a lifetime.

Six years later, Archie proposed on our anniversary. Our families came together for our pamamanhikan on February 15, 2026, and the promise we once made to each other was finally becoming a reality.

Now, after all the memories, laughter, growth, and love we have shared, we are ready for our next chapter.

On October 16, 2026, we will finally say “I do.”

From a simple friend request to a lifetime of choosing each other, this is our love story. And we would be honored to have you with us as we begin forever. ❤️

With love, Chie & Cath
