About the Event

We are excited to celebrate one of the most meaningful days of our lives with the people who have supported and loved us throughout our journey. Our wedding on June 26, 2026 will be a joyful celebration of faith, love, and the beginning of our life together as husband and wife. 


Due to limited venue space, our wedding is RSVP-only. Invitations are non-transferable, and we kindly ask that no additional guests attend unless previously arranged. Thank you for helping us keep the celebration intimate—we look forward to celebrating with you!

Join Us!

Join us as we celebrate the beginning of our new life together. Your presence would mean so much to us as we gather with our closest family and friends to witness this special moment. We are grateful for your love, support, and prayers throughout our journey, and we would be honored to have you with us on our wedding day as we say “I do.”

Our Love Story

Our story began in a place we never expected—at work. What started as simple conversations between colleagues slowly turned into a meaningful friendship, and before we knew it, our connection had grown into something much deeper. We came from different Christian backgrounds—Julie from Iglesia Ni Cristo and Russell from a Pentecostal Christian church—but our shared faith in God became the foundation that guided our relationship and helped us grow closer to one another.


As our love grew, we knew that building our future together would require faith, commitment, and courage. Russell made the heartfelt decision to convert to Iglesia Ni Cristo so we could walk the same spiritual path together. The journey wasn’t always easy, but through God’s grace we were able to overcome every obstacle along the way. We were incredibly blessed to have the full support of both of our families throughout this journey. 



On July 4, 2025, during Julie’s birthday, Russell asked Julie to spend the rest of her life with him—and she joyfully said yes. Now, we look forward with grateful hearts to beginning the next chapter of our lives together on June 26, 2026.
