OUR STORY

Est. 2008Before WiFi, there was the unli text era

It all started with unlimited texts. Literally.

Let's take you back to 2008. The era of Nokia phones, when ₱20 unli text was everything.

We actually went to the same school, but we were four years apart. Little did we know, those simple text conversations would turn into something much bigger.

From textmates to building a life together.

Somewhere between all those good mornings, good nights, and random conversations, we became more than just textmates.

We were young, clueless about life, and definitely had no idea what the next 18 years would bring.

Fast forward through countless memories, ups and downs, two beautiful boys, and a whole lot of growing up together... here we are!

18 years later, still subscribed. HAHA!

We've already said our first "I do" in 2020, but this time, we're finally walking down the aisle for our church wedding, with God at the center of it all.

Looking back, we can see how God has been faithful through every season of our lives, even during the chapters that weren't always easy.

And what makes this chapter even more special? Getting to celebrate it with the people who have been part of our story.

From schoolmates to textmates, from young love to a family of four. Who knew those unli texts would lead us all the way here?

From unli texts to a lifetime together.

With love,
Makoi & Lomi 🤍
