Our Story

Earl first saw Demi in the year 2019 and said hi, but Demi never responded as she was then in a relationship with someone else. Demi noticed Earl for the first time later that year when Earl was invited to sing at a Toastmasters’ Induction of Officers, the same reason why Demi goes to Earl’s office 2x a month (to attend the Toastmasters’ Club). Demi then added Earl as a friend on Facebook and Earl did not miss the chance to talk to her via Messenger. The conversation started there and while you think it’s all rainbows and butterflies, Demi was previously engaged and held their love story back for 3 more years. When that toxic relationship was over, Earl found the chance to ask Demi to be his girlfriend on November 27, 2021 in Dauin, Dumaguete after a good scuba dive and the rest is history.

Dear Guests,

On this upcoming wedding day of ours, we would like to request the honor of your presence. We have only selected a handful of people who mean so much to us and you are one of them.

We’d love for you to be a part of our special day!

~ Demi & Earl

Please see our wedding guidelines below to ensure that this wedding remains intimate and memorable.

The Dress Code

We’d love for you to come in SHADES OF PURPLE.

In a formal wedding attire:

Ladies: Knee to tea-length dresses

Gents: Suit or long-sleeved polo and slacks

We believe that one of the best gifts you can give us is not any material item but coming to our wedding in an attire that we requested for this very special day of ours. Our colors & attire instructions are well-thought of to match our event venue.

We can’t wait to see you shine in your beautiful clothing!

P.S. Please do not come in a shirt and shorts as this is a formal social event.

The Plus One Rule

“Can I bring a plus one?”

We have 2 rules for bringing a plus one, and if we did allow you that’d mean that we already reserved his/her seat in their honor.

Due to a limited budget & the type of wedding we wish to have, we’re sorry to say that we have only chosen people to bring plus ones with the following rules:

Such guest is married or cohabiting & either of the couple already hung out with him/her for quite some time.
No guests that the bride & groom consider acquaintances (more so a stranger) are allowed in the wedding.

Thank you for understanding.

The Gift Registry

We are blessed to have a beautiful home already blessed with plenty of material things. We’d only want your presence on our wedding day, but if you wish to spoil us, we’d be pleased to receive your monetary gifts to help us fund our first baby, Duyog Coffee.
