About Us

Hi everyone! This is Cherry and I would like to thank you for checking out our website that Trent has painstakingly built. I am marrying a genius (among all the other wonderful adjectives I could think of)! And he is marrying…well, where should I start? Read carefully as you might miss some important tidbits.

I was born on June 1, 1975 in Manila, Philippines. I am the eldest of three. My brother, Jay, is married to Rowena and they have a wonderful son, Gabriel. My beautiful sister, Jami, is still single and she is ready to mingle! They are still in the Philippines and I miss them all terribly. Hopefully, they will get to go to my wedding just like our mother, Consuelo, who is coming over really soon! Mama (Consuelo) has a sister, Mildred, who took care of all of us since I could remember. We call her mommy. So, to all of you who don’t know this, the woman I call Mama is my mother and the woman I call Mommy, is my “adoptive” mother. Mommy has a daughter, Christine, who I consider like my own sister.

I went to St. Scholastica’s College in Manila from grade school to high school where I had my fondest memories, from soirees to dances. My college life was spent mostly in our school gymnasium (nope, not the library) where I practice every other day with the varsity basketball team. I took several attempts into graduating, but for some reason I kept changing my mind and my major!

I moved out to the States last December of 1997 and went to DeVry University in Pomona. That’s where Trent and I met. He graduated a semester ahead and with higher honors (he was the graduation speaker too…I did say I am marrying a genius!) Finally, I finished what I started three years ago. Not only did I earn myself a college degree, but a fiancé to boot!

Hi all, it's me, Trent. Let me try and give you my life history in a few short paragraphs. It won't be easy, but I'll give it a whirl. I was born on December 12th, 1971. I just celebrated my 34th birthday a few months ago. Boy, do I loathe getting older. That is why I am marrying a hot younger woman. She helps to keep me young at heart if nothing else. I was born in Long Beach, California. I have lived in Southern California all my life except for a short stint in Santa Cruz, California for a few years. That is a beautiful area, and I made some great friends, but family is family! Speaking of my family, here is how that plays out. I have my stepdad Paul (although he is too awesome of a man to call him anything but 'Dad'), my mom Betty, my older sister April, and my younger brother David. My sister is married to my brother-in-law Mike, and they have 4 wonderful children: Cody, Kaitlyn, Nikolas, and Lucas. I love them all very much. My family means the world to me.

I love athletics. I played sports all throughout my high school and college years. My favorite sports were baseball and water polo. I continue to try and stay active. I go bike riding regularly, and I love going with my mom who is an avid and accomplished cyclist. Last year I did two triathlons. I had a great time doing them and I would like to do more.

After a few years of working full time and traveling monthly for a job that I had at the time, I decided to go back to college and finish getting a degree. I decided to go DeVry University to get a degree in Computer Information Systems. I was very dedicated to my studies, but to my surprise I found more than a career. I found a friend, a lover, and someone that I wanted to grow old with. My beautiful fianceé, Cherry.

And that brings us to present day. I currently work as a software developer for a payroll company in Orange, California. I like to go out on the weekends with friends and have sushi, play billiards, or just have a few drinks. I am looking forward to starting a family with my new bride, and hopefully buying a house in the near future. With that being said, don't be stingy with the money dance!!
