Marty & Jasmine: From First Crush to Forever Vows.
There’s something truly magical about a love that blooms from childhood crushes into a lifelong commitment. For Jasmine Guinto Samson, known affectionately as Jas, and Jhon Marty Samson — or Marty to those close to him — this is exactly the story they get to live every day. Their wedding, held on June 21, 2025, at the historic St. Vincent Ferrer Parish Church in Bayambang, followed by a reception at Avelino Resort & Hotel was a testament to a decade-long romance filled with warmth, simplicity, and heartfelt devotion.

He’s my last, and he’s going to be my life forever,” Jas shares, her words resonating with a love both profound and genuine.
