Our Love Story

It all began in 2012 at Veterans Memorial Medical Center, where we first crossed paths as casual colleagues—just two people walking different paths under the same roof.


Two years later, fate gave us a gentle nudge. We met again at Amoranto Sports Complex, jogging under the morning sun and playing badminton side by side. Still, nothing blossomed—perhaps the timing wasn't right, and life quietly led us on separate ways.


Then, in 2018, destiny smiled. In the most unexpected place—Capitol Medical Center—we found each other once more. Raphael was a post-graduate medical intern, and Melanie was working in the same hospital. This time, something changed. What once felt like coincidence began to feel like fate... and our love story truly began.


Now, after years of near misses and second chances, we are ready to begin the greatest chapter of all. Together, forever.
