My aunt was a religious woman. She goes to church almost daily. Tita Noli and Uncle Jun met at the church of the Holy Innocents in Manhattan, NY.   It was truly meant to be. She was divorced and so was he. Uncle Jun said he saw her sitting in one of the pews praying and introduced himself. She looked very sad, he thought and asked for her number. It seemed like she needed a friend and he was there to offer his friendship. He finally had the courage to call her but she did not pick up. She still lived with her sister Estella at that time. I remember, Tita Estella asked if she new the man who called and asked for her but she denied it. 

One day, her long time best friend, Tita Lourdes called and asked my aunt if she's open to meeting a new friend. She explained how the man she wanted him to meet was very kind and religious. Tita Noli hesitated. She felt she wasn't ready. She even told her that time when Uncle Jun introduced himself to her at church and asked for her number. Tita Lourdes was curious who the guy was so she asked my aunt what his name was. When Tita Noli told her his name, Tita Lourdes got excited and told her, he's the man I would like you to meet. That is when their love story began. They've been married for 25 years.
