Our Love Story
First We Met
February 20, 2024
Our story officially began in the most unexpected yet meaningful way. We first met during a special gathering in Malvar, where we visited someone who was ill to share God's Word through a Bible study and lift them up in prayer. Little did we know that while we were there to encourage someone else, God was quietly writing the first chapter of our own love story.
First Date
December 31, 2024
What seemed like an ordinary day turned out to be the start of something extraordinary. A visit to the outlets to pick up a few essentials and a stop for his haircut became our very first time spending time together without our other friends. Between the simple errands and the unhurried moments, heartfelt conversations filled the day, allowing two strangers to become close friends. Looking back, it wasn't just our first date—it was the quiet beginning of a love story only God could write.
In A Relationship
January 20, 2025
Our relationship became official on a day filled with love, faith, and family. Rhandell visited Ellen's home to ask her mother's blessing and humbly requested permission for Ellen to become his prayer partner. Together, we also sought the blessing and guidance of Pastor Toto and Inay Merly. Before the day ended, we visited the grave of Ellen's father—a quiet and meaningful moment, honoring his memory and wishing he could have been there to witness the beginning of this beautiful chapter. It was a day that reminded us that the strongest relationships are built on God's guidance, the support of family, and hearts committed to one another.
We're Engaged
May 04, 2026
What Ellen thought was simply a birthday celebration turned into one of the most unforgettable days of her life. Just one month after her operation, Rhandell planned a surprise birthday celebration that became an even greater surprise—a proposal surrounded by the people who mean the most. With her closest family and friends gathered to celebrate, he got down on one knee and asked the question that would begin our next chapter. It was a beautiful reminder of God's faithfulness, turning a season of healing into a moment of overwhelming joy. 💍
