Featuring Reuben Mitchell Manuel and Arianne Muñoz 

Reuben and Arianne’s love story is the kind that feels straight out of a rom-com—except with a lot more hospital shifts and stethoscopes. Their journey began in med school, where Reuben, the quiet and observant one, first laid eyes on Arianne, the ever-radiant and bubbly presence in the room. 

“It was our first hospital duty, and I still remember thinking, ‘Wow, she’s beautiful,’” Reuben recalls. Meanwhile, Arianne took notice of the quiet guy in the corner, unknowingly meeting the person who would one day steal her heart.

Through long hours, stressful shifts, and hurried coffee breaks, their bond deepened. By the time they graduated, they were practically inseparable. Seven years later, Reuben decided to make it official in the most unforgettable way—on top of Mt. Moiwa in Japan, in the middle of a snowstorm! “It was cold, chaotic, and absolutely perfect,” Reuben laughs. 

Despite the biting wind and the swirling snow, Arianne’s enthusiastic “YES!” warmed his heart instantly.

For their big day, Reuben and Arianne wanted a celebration that felt like them—warm, intimate, and brimming with personal touches. One of the most unique details? A custom fragrance that filled the venue with rich amber, vanilla, and floral notes. 

“We’re both fragrance lovers, so scent had to be part of our wedding,” Reuben explains. “It was like bottling up our love story and sharing it with everyone.”

Set against the stunning landscapes of Tagaytay, their wedding embraced a rustic, effortless elegance. The groomsmen rocked beige linen suits, the bridesmaids stunned in burnt orange dresses, and every little detail was carefully thought out—right down to the beautifully engraved wooden USB drives given to guests as souvenirs. 

“Arianne is a master at details,” Reuben shares. “She even designed custom bags for our family members! She poured her heart into everything.”

But the real showstopper? Their choreographed first dance! “It felt like a throwback to Arianne’s college cheerleading days,” Reuben jokes. “Except this time, I had to keep up!” The moment was full of energy, love, and laughter—just like their relationship.

The wedding morning brought a surprise: rain. But instead of dampening the mood, it only added to the magic. “The rain gave everything a cinematic glow,” Arianne shares. “Like the universe itself was setting the mood for us.”

Looking back, their wedding wasn’t just about the I do’s—it was about celebrating their story, their quirks, and the incredible journey they’ve shared. “It was us in every way,” Reuben reflects. “Chaotic at times, full of surprises, but absolutely perfect.”

And just like that, their forever begins—hand in hand, hearts full, and ready for whatever adventure comes next.
