Homeless Couple Are Given A Surprise Wedding After 24 Years Together

A homeless couple transformed for their surprise makeover for a glamorous wedding photoshoot. Rosalyn Ferrer, 50, and Rommel Basco, 55, from Pampanga province, the Philippines, have been squatting in a small shack in an empty patch of wasteland. They have been together for 24 years and have six children but unable to afford a wedding.

‘We never had enough money and all we concentrated on was getting enough food to eat each day. Now I feel so blessed that it has happened. I’m so thankful.’

Hair salon owner, Richard Strandz met the couple while they were collecting scraps for food. He also helped the coupling process for their marriage license and church wedding.

They did a photoshoot on February 13 with Ferrer in a white wedding gown and Basco wore a Barong Tagalog suit.

Ferrer said: “I once dreamed of having a white wedding but that was when I was a little girl. It went out of my mind long ago.”

Stranz encountered them while they were picking scraps nearby his shop. ‘I found out about how the two have been living together for more than two decades but cannot afford a small wedding’, he said. The family seemed happy together despite living in that condition.

Touched by their love story, he decided to contact his friends who have a wedding supplies business and cooperate with them to pay and organize the couple’s wedding. They hope to hold it later this year once the formalities have been settled.

He added: “True love is something that should be celebrated. It’s very special, no matter whether you’re rich or poor.”

This is a statement that is widely agreed upon. Everyone can respect the couple’s loyalty to one another despite living in an unfair world. Their resilient in sticking together through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, and for richer or poorer is truly remarkable.
