January Twenty-Fourth

Two Thousand Twenty Seven

Amorita • Panglao Island, Bohol

The best occasions are usually very simple: people you love, something worth celebrating, and a table with enough room for everyone.

On a Sunday in Bohol, we'll have all three.

There will be a blessing on the beach, dinner, drinks, music, and the pleasure of having our favorite people in one place.

Meet us by the water.

Dinner and a drink

They met on Bumble. The first date was hot pot, a first for both of them, and then a few cocktails. What he noticed was her smile, her wit, and her humor.

After the first couple of dates, he had to go back to the United States. He decided to go visit her, and they went to Japan. They had a good time, and that is when they got to know each other a little better.
