James and Nadz met back in high school in 2012—just a couple of teenagers who started out as friends. But honestly, James had a crush on Nadz from the start. He thought she was super cute—fair skin, tiny frame, and a face like an angel. Her laugh? Loud enough to break glass, but he thought it was the best sound in the world. They never really expected that their random hallway chats, late-night texts, and all the laughs would turn into something real, but somehow, it did.
As time went on, their connection grew stronger. They had their first date at Mang Inasal, and they'd hang out at parks now and then. Back in college, James would stick around after classes just to walk Nadz home—those simple, everyday moments turned into some of their most cherished memories.
What started off as a young and kinda clumsy kind of love grew with them. They learned, stumbled, and supported each other through every season. Now, their relationship is built on understanding, patience, and a love that continues to evolve. Looking back, it’s amazing to see how far they've come- from high school sweethearts to partners for life.
It was a peaceful afternoon at The Nest in Alabang—just the two of them, sharing a quiet meal with the soft sunlight spilling over the city skyline. Nadz had no idea that day would become one of the most unforgettable moments of their lives. As they talked and laughed like they always do, James suddenly turned serious, took a deep breath, and got down on one knee. In that golden moment, with the breeze around and the warmth of the sun above, James asked Nadz to spend forever with him. Filled with joy, surprise, and a full heart, Nadz said yes. It was simple, intimate, and perfect—just like them.
We’ve been dreaming about this day for so long—and it’s finally here. A day filled with laughter, happy tears, tight hugs, and the people we love most in the world. We can't wait to walk down the aisle, say our “I dos,” and start this new chapter hand in hand. But more than anything, we're just so excited to celebrate love—our love, your love, all the love—with everyone who’s been part of our journey.
Whether you've known us since the awkward high school days or just recently came into our lives, your presence means everything to us. So get ready for a day full of beautiful moments, good food, dancing, and memories we’ll carry forever. This isn’t just our wedding—it’s a celebration of all the love that’s brought us here. Let’s make it unforgettable. 💛

Maid of Honor
Nice isn’t just Nadz’s sister—she’s her built-in best friend, adventure buddy, and go-to person for everything from outfit choices to late-night heart-to-hearts. They’ve shared countless laughs, deep talks, and spontaneous plans that turn into memories. They may clash like all sisters do, but at the end of the day, they’re each other’s safe place. Nice has been there from the very beginning of Nadz and James’ story, and there’s no one else Nadz would rather have right next to her on this day.

Jessa and Nadz first crossed paths in high school, but it was in college—sharing the same course, long days, and even longer nights—that their friendship truly began.

Now, even with busy lives and careers, that connection remains—and Nadz is so glad to have Jessa with her on this special day.

As James’ sister, Maegan has been there from the very start—quietly supporting, cheering them on, and showing nothing but love. Her warmth and open heart made Nadz feel like family from day one. Having Maegan stand beside them means the world, and their bond has only grown stronger with time.

Hana and Nadz go way back—more than a decade of friendship that started in church and grew through all sorts of adventures.

Having Hana as a bridesmaid was never a question—it’s just where she belongs.
Bridesmaid
Aira was more than just Nadz’s block mate—she was the dependable groupmate who made every project smoother and every little win feel big.

These days, catch-ups still feel like those college moments never left. Aira has always been that steady, reliable friend, and Nadz is so happy to have her here on such a special day.
Bridesmaid
Nadz met Jessa back in 2018 at Accenture, and what started with office tea and shared lunch breaks quickly turned into a real friendship.

Nadz never expected it, but Jessa became one of those rare people who stuck—and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
Bridesmaid
Marj and Nadz’s friendship was unexpected—but quickly became something special.

What started as a connection through someone else turned into a friendship all their own.
Best Man
Brylle and James have been close friends for nearly a decade. From spontaneous trips and shared meals to real, deep conversations, they’ve built a bond that’s stood the test of time. Brylle has always been someone James can count on, which is why he’s standing beside him as his best man.

He’s been a steady and loyal friend, and James is proud to have him as part of the crew.
Groomsman

Daryll is James’ younger brother and one of the people he’s closest to. From late-night food runs to jamming on the guitar, they’ve shared a lot of moments together.

Groomsman
