Our Story

In the bustling digital corridors of Manulife IT Delivery Center, amid morning status updates and project deadlines, fate was quietly weaving its magic. Joseph was a Solution Architect, immersed in systems and solutions, while Angel was a Platform Engineer, crafting the infrastructure that made everything possible. Each morning, as they gathered for team updates, Joseph found himself drawn to her presence—her thoughtful insights, her quiet confidence, the way she approached every challenge with grace.

The universe seemed to conspire in their favor when Angel was assigned to one of Joseph's projects. What began as professional collaboration slowly blossomed into something deeper. They discovered shared passions, common dreams, and a connection that felt as natural as the code they wrote together. In true IT fashion, you could say they were "developing" something beautiful—not just software, but a love that would become their greatest creation.

Even as the pandemic reshaped the world around them in 2021, their bond only grew stronger. Weekend journeys became their ritual—Joseph would travel from Cainta to Angel's home in Batangas, each trip a testament to what they were building together. Through virtual meetings and real embraces, distant days and precious weekends, their love story continued to unfold.

Now, as they stand on the threshold of 2025, they are ready to merge their lives completely. From colleagues to companions, from separate paths to a shared journey—Joseph and Angel are about to embark on their most important deployment yet: marriage.
