One year ago, Ma. Czarina Victoria Josefa “Ria” Yuseco San Pablo wed her longtime beau, Henrik Orbeta Resurreccion, after 10 years of togetherness. While parents would normally cry a river, no tears were shed at their wedding. Everyone was simply elated!
Ria and Henrik met at the Ateneo de Manila University freshman orientation seminar. They were blockmates who took up Communications Technology Management.
After college, the couple pursued separate careers, Ria in information technology, Henrik in marketing. At one point, they maintained a long-distance relationship with Henrik based in Singapore as marketing manager of Bacardi Martini.
Yet the relationship built on a strong foundation of love and respect for each other and God overcame the challenges of being physically apart. Modern technology was also a big help.
This 10-year relationship finally saw its fruition on Nov. 28, 2014 when Ria and Henrik tied the knot at the Santuario de San Antonio Church.
Their principal sponsors were Mario Senen Benardo, Lawyer Gregorio Narvasa II, Raphael Martinez, Dr. Joseph Regalado, Jose Antonio Zialcita, Michael Thomas Zialcita, Rosanna Maria Yuseco, Marissa Auditor, Maria Carmen Cruz, Hannah Marie Martinez, Maria Luz Lee and Marilyn Rodriguez.
The highlight of the wedding, of course, was when Henrik and Ria vowed to love each other henceforth. Cheers to a lifelong commitment!
