PENALES – LAGNASON NUPTIALS

August 18, 2022

A perfect pair! A perfect combination! A perfect couple!

Josef Fernan D. Penales, the groom is the youngest of three children and Mary Ann Lagnason is the eldest of three children, too. Both of them are from Poblacion, Panglao, Bohol. He is a member of the Bureau of Fire Protection while she is a regular employee of the Local Government Unit of Panglao.

They know each other well since they live in the same area. However, it was only in 2017 when they came to realize that they have many things in common and have many reasons to be happy being together. After a very healthy relationship, he proposed to marry her on January 11, 2021, after four (4) years of getting to know each other better.   

He calls her “The love of my life”; she calls him “My Friend, My Love”! With these assurances in mind, he was the happiest of all as he waited for her at the foot of the altar while she walked down the aisle at the church of St. Augustine Parish in Poblacion, Panglao, Bohol at 2:00 in the afternoon of Thursday, August 18, 2022 witnessed by their families, relatives, friends and the best of friends.
