Our Love Story

Gus and Marj’s love story is one of laughter, tears, and unwavering devotion. From their first meeting to this moment, let’s celebrate their extraordinary bond that will last a lifetime.

To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key.

We both came to Canada chasing new opportunities as international students. I (Gus) was studying Data Analytics, and Marjorie was diving into Marketing. Different paths, same city, and – as fate would have it – the same end-of-semester celebration one night. That’s where I first saw her: this beautiful woman with the biggest smile and energy that lit up the entire bar. I was instantly enchanted. As she walked back from the bathroom, I mustered the courage to intercept her (half pretending I was headed that way too) and blurted out, “Hey, you look super cute… can I get your number?” After a long pause – where I’m pretty sure she was sizing me up – she smiled and said, “Okay.” It took a few weeks (and lots of persistence) to convince her to go on a date. When she finally did, she showed up four hours late – but it didn’t matter. Over sushi and laughs, we forgot the wait. Later that night at a bar, I stole our first kiss. From that moment, we were inseparable. Our first big milestone came on a quiet day at Lynn Valley, surrounded by forest and lake views. That’s where I asked Marjorie to be my girlfriend – and where our story truly began.

Dating wasn’t always effortless. I’ve always valued my “me time,” while Marjorie loved being together 24/7. Finding balance taught us more about patience, kindness, and compromise than anything else. She showed me how to be softer and more caring; I pushed her to be even more goal‑oriented and independent. Together, we celebrated milestones — landing our first corporate jobs, earning our permanent residency, and traveling the world hand in hand.

The biggest moment came when I brought Marjorie to Brazil to meet my family. I carried the engagement ring with me everywhere, nervous I’d lose it. On our last week, in Rio de Janeiro, we visited Christ the Redeemer. Standing beneath that iconic statue, with the city stretched out below us, I knew it was the moment. I asked her to marry me — and she said yes. As we hugged, I remember hearing a group of girls nearby whispering, “See? People really do propose here!” It was the perfect mix of sacred and playful — just like us.

After getting engaged, we explored the Philippines together — Marjorie introducing me to her culture and family — before returning to Canada to begin planning the wedding. Which brings us here: ready to celebrate our love with all of you in Boracay, the place we’ve chosen to begin our next chapter. We can’t wait to bring together friends and family from Brazil, Canada, and the Philippines — the people who have cheered us on since day one, witnessed every milestone, and been part of this incredible journey.
