The Story Of How We Met! 

I met me wife of Christian Filipina. We had a wonderful experience. My wife will celebrate her 1 year of being in the US next month.

I've seen a handful of your videos and in each one she is constantly touching you and giving you "looks." Quite easy to see that your wife adores you. Likewise, I know that a woman doesn't act that way unless a guy is truly good to her!!! Congrats to both of you for finding each other and for being happy. Live long and prosper!!!!🖖

Bro, the way she looks at you and makes you the center of her universe. She really loves you. God bless you both.

I love how she puts her hands on him to acknowledge him and the love they share

She looks like every princess from the Disney movies .. smilly, beautifull, natural and so much more ❤

I met my philippina wife back in 1984 and we only knew each other for 2 months and we got married and now have 3 girls and have been married for 39 years.

Man, congrats. What a great story. What I paid attention the most it was NOT the story itself but her body language, how often she leaned towards you, how she acted towards you thru out your story. Where her hands were, what directions was she looking at and her facial expressions. It's very hard to fake that on a regular basis. I have seen a few of your videos and her actions are similar and congruent on all videos. Cory no doubt this woman really loves you and is happy by your side. God bless you both.

Great stuff, I’m looking to do the same thing as you. I’m a 36 year old disabled veteran 100% permanent and total. So I get $3600 a month tax free. And living in the Philippines looks amazing. I’d love to meet a beautiful Philippines woman and build a home like you did. I’m living vicariously through you at the moment while I take care of my very sick parents (lung cancer) mom, (Parkinson’s) dad. But what you’re doing is exactly what I want. One day I’ll be heading that way. Thanks for the videos man, it’s keeping me sane and you are showing me a path to happiness. Peace and happiness to you and your family.

What an absolutely beautiful story. You were raised well Corey to be so respectful to both your wife and her family.

Few men are so fortunate; you acted respectfully. Listening to you explain your joint journey. A true romance.

I met a wonderful Filipino lady about 5 years ago. She had been separated for 10 years. Little did I know that divorce is illegal in the Philippines and you have to go through an annulment process. After 4 years of trying to get annulled, I had to break off the relationship. I could not move to the Philippines and there was no way to get her to the US without a K1. One of the saddest days of my life. I had been to the Philippines 4 times and we talked everyday. I miss my time in the Philippines. Love the country and the people. I miss her happy and cheerful personality. Great memories to carry the rest of my life.

I like that Corey gets choked up when talking about meaningful moments in his life. Makes me get choked up too. All the best to both of you.

👍😎🇵🇭🤿🌴sounds like when I met my wife in the Philippines and now we’re are soon to be there together at our house with no regrets of leaving the states. The country I respect and intend to stay! We have been married for over 25 years and every day I love her more! Good for you and any one who is married to a Filipino!!!❤️

you are a lucky bastard! Not only she is super beautiful, she also seems to be an AMAZING, smart and caring woman. A woman like that would stole my heart in a snap! Wish all the best for both of you! 🙃

This channel is amazing. For a decade I've watched dozens, I mean DOZENS (more so hundreds) of travel videos. Thailand, Philippines, most Asian Countries. For some reason, that's what interested me. Started with Delos videos (sailing videos). Decided I'm not cut out for sailing. Also a WWII buff, so when I started hearing of South Pacific Islands, the Philippines, I'd already learned of many places. So many Philippine RU-vid channels, I must be subscribed to at least 20. Found this one about a Month ago. The diet Pepsi video shook me up. It showed me a lot. I've been talking to Thai's and Filipina's for several years. Even learned to speak some Thai. And was attracted to the Philippine culture. Same reason, Western culture changed not inline with my moral and ethics, and America has fallen, no longer the Country I grew up in and lived in in the last 50 years. I don't quite fit here anymore. Painful to realize that. It kinda hurts deep down honestly. I just want different. I don't know... That Jollibee video... That actually shook me up quite a bit. Recently, at a small farm town in Montana, at work, we had a new guy walk in the door. AJ, he just moved over from the Philippines. (???? Things started adding up and coming together) Goals moved more in the last Month, than the last decade. The material things are being sold off now. I don't have a great paying job, but a cheap apartment, old pickup, and no bills, the savings are now adding up. More like a 5 year plan, unless God steps in and miracle happens. Anyways, yeah, hundreds and hundreds of contacts. Most on sites, nearly 99% of them are scammers. Lucky to find 3 out of a hundred who don't beg for money. Seriously. But I don't need a female partner, I could be just fine being alone if that's the case. So this between Corey and Racheal, is a fairy tale come true, a miracle. Simply, COREY and RAQUEL, this is one in a million odds. This is one in 10 million. This is a fairy tale ending. And this is hope. I love your videos. This is true life. This is real. Peace. Serenity. Happiness. Healthy....

Great story. You two seem really happy, and believe me, I can totally relate to wanting to turn down the gain by living a less stressful life. And, doing that with the right partner makes every single sacrifice worth it. I wish you both happiness.

Corey this is Carl and I’m so inspired by your story and life with Raquel. My story was far more complicated and my Meztisa in California and she changed my life and spent twenty two years training me to speak Tagalog but I’m a slow learner. All the trials and tribulations that you went through just to stand before Raquel’s father to respectfully as for his permission to marry and support his daughter was the kind of thing a good man does. I’ve watched all your “Vlogs” about securing property and building parts to your home, gym and pool. Raquel’s family truly love and respect what you have accomplished and the love and care you display towards Raquel. I’m just blown away on how you adjusted to eating (Patis), longganisa, Sinigang na Hipon and Milk Fish. I love Chicken Adobo, Lumpia and Nilaga but I’m not to comfortable with Sea Foods. Oh yes I love Jafran Banana Sauce better than Catsup!

Awesome experience guys. My story is similar. Love the Philippine people!!

I’m happy to hear that you allowed your heart to be warmed by your wife, being a Marine is a tough transition and you made the right choice by being a good husband. Good people are rare, your wife and you choose correctly. From on Marine to another. Semper Fi

Cory I don`t know how you met but both of you seem like real nice people. Cory your wife is definitely a keeper, I think you did your homework and really hit a home run. Your wife and you are very fortunate to have found each other. Have a great life guys.

Your husband looks like a tough guy. As if he is the man who say you wanna fight but as he talk along I see his sincerity and ha has a big heart. God bless you both

Filipina here a avid fan love your love story with Raquel she is will raised and you too Cory you really meant to be. Laughing and smiling the whole time😊

What a cutie she is. I think you found a good chick. You guys are a good couple. What a great story. Really touching. Got me shedding a couple tears

Great vid because it's informative and funny....no one wants to listen to a boring story of how you met and nothing went wrong. You are both are great together and have chemistry in front of the camera. Cory, I enjoy listening to you as you are a good storyteller and funny and Rachel has a great sense of humour also....keep up the great vids. Thank you to both of you. 🙏

What a cool video. It was nice to hear the backstory and I'm very impressed with both of you taking the long road and finding happiness at the end of it. Yours is the good story of finding a good life partner. Be happy and safe you tow.

When she starts laughing I smile like an idiot, you two are a lucky couple!

Currently I am talking with a lady I met on Christian Filipina. She is such a sweetheart. She has invited me to come visit and attend her brother's wedding later this year. I hope that everything will work out for us.

I am talking to a Filipina I met through fb messenger, it hasn’t been long but we have been video chatting every day. Such a big difference from western women, she treats me very caring and I want to visit the Philippines for the first time in a few months to meet her. If it works out we will marry, I’ll bring her to USA then start building a house in the Philippines like you over a year or two then move there. Thanks love your videos

I've just met a great filipina women and been chatting for 2 weeks and so far it's been a great experience. The way you talk about how you met each is somewhat same. I hope to have great experience like you have had!

And again! You have given me hope my friend. I am down to my last American woman regarding a dating situation. After that, I am headed oversees to find someone kind, warm and true. SO happy for you buddy!

Thank you for this honest video. I grew up in America but my Filipino family was still very traditional, multi-generational household, and I too was the eldest daughter. I love how respectful you were of the family, my husband was the same. We hope to move to the Philippines someday.

family members discussing together is quite common in the Philippines. In my family's case, my 3 kids and I together with my husband talk things out during dinner time whenever we have plans. We ask each other's opinions. I know some filipino family who's doing the same thing.

We met on Facebook in a group called Filipinas looking for Americans something like that, i then flew over to see her about 6 months after chatting and i was there about 4 times, I then lived there in manila and Tacloban for over a year during the pandemic. I met so many amazing people, i was so happy to get away from America, i did miss the food, and the way our infrastructure was but, it to me felt safe and even though i was annoyed at the process involving anything to do with paperwork, and 10,000 copies of everything, I still miss it, and left back to the states 2 yrs ago, from the Midwest like you.

Real life Love Story. This is an Awesome Story. Hollywood needs to make a movie 🎥 about you two.😊

Just gotta say your videos give me hope man. I'm a 25-year-old guy that has really struggled to find quality women over here in the US. It seems like these days women want men that make over 100k per year and look like Zack Efron, so guys like me struggle to find a partner. I just realized how many men are starting to leave the US to pursue relationships because it's extremely hard to find a feminine, and nurturing woman over here that doesn't demand unrealistic standards. Thanks for showing us that love can be found outside your home country. I will definitely be looking to find my wife over there :)

What a lovely story. Congratulations to you both. You both took risks and sacrificed in pursuit of worthwhile goals, and now you are living the dream. Here's wishing you both much love and prosperity in the future!

dude...she seems amazing! Thanks so much for putting these convos on here!

You are very easy to watch and listen too. Good that you managed to catch your dream mate 👍

My girlfriend literally just messaged me on facebook one day during the begining of the pandemic. Alnost 2 years talking and video chatting online every single day before I could finally go to Ph and be with her. Our love is as strong as yours. I see us in you two. It purs the biggest smile on my face. I look up to you now because what you have now is my biggest goal. I don't care for the US anymore and I do not care to be rich. My Jennifer and her country have taught me what is truly important in life. I feel more alive than I ever did before.❤

I enjoyed hearing you guys story, my wife and I have been married coming up on 8 years and I went through something similar with the site we used, there are so many better options now for sure. We're actually moving to the Philippines in 3 months and plan to document the move and getting settled and day to day life once we're there. Maybe we'll run into each other someday. Have a good one!

There is a lot of affection between you , very nice to see . All the best to you and thank you for sharing your story.

What a beautiful wife...and so kind. I enjoy watching you two interact. It's not something you see in the states anymore. You made all the right choices my man.

Thank you so much for sharing this story with us. It takes a lot of guts to come out and be open about this on the internet.

Nice to see! My father have been married to a Filipina for 30 years now. And she´s a wonderful women.

Hey Corey, I messaged you through YT a good while back with some 'constructive feedback' about your presentation style and I am so happy to see how much you have progressed in your onscreen persona. You seem so much more natural, connected, available, etc. It is also great to see you with your beautiful wife who obviously loves you. You are definitely living the dream and I am so happy to see that your subscriber count has gone up tremendously from when I first stumbled upon your channel. Who knows... perhaps one day our paths will cross. I am wrapping up a few last things here in the US and then it is time to head to SE Asia, with The Philippines pretty high on the list.

Great story Cory. A long road but well worth it.

Thanks for sharing. I chatted online with mine for a year before my 1st visit. I was pretty sure I wanted to make her my Wife even before that 1st visit. I stayed for 2 weeks the 1st time. I knew, we both knew, but I was overly cautious. I decided to wait and visit again the next year. As soon as I returned back to the states after the 2nd trip I got the ball rolling. About a year later I made a quick trip over just to get her. She had never flown, and I didn't want her to make the trip alone. I wasn't a member of any dating sites and wasn't even looking for a relationship when we met. It's a long story, but it was the best thing I ever did. I also promised to send her home every year, and she has except during covid. She stays for 2 months, and when I went last, I joined her a month later, and we came back together, which is what we'll probably do again this December.

The true story of the "passport bro" that I all of a sudden have been hearing so much about lately. Great stuff and I'm happy this all worked out so well for you.

Great upload, communication this day and age is so much easier then 30 yrs ago… I was in the military and I can remember using hundreds of phone cards lots of $$$. Letter’s going to PI take 3 wks for her to receive a one letter … I am happy for you finding your beautiful asawa, I wish you all the best..

Cute story. I met my wife on a 3 week trip. We spent 3/4 of my vacation together. We decided before I left that we should see where it goes. we spent 6 months or so, getting better acquainted online and decided to apply for a K1. She came to US in Illinois also (downstate a bit) and we married 1 year to the day of our first meeting. Later this month will be our 7 year anniversary. Covid was hard. She was supposed to go back every year, and me every other. She has only been back once, and me not at all. This winter we will finally go back. Her sister in law had a 1 year old when I met her and the parents. She said "Oh, he will be big next time you see him." I said "No... we will be back soon." He is now almost 9 😞. Cannot wait to see him though this winter.

Nice story...I talked to my wife 2 years on line then I went to marry her in China ,then she finally was accepted in Canada 2 years later....This started 17 years ago....time flies...

You two rock.. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure....

You did a great job. From what we can see here you really picked a winner, you both did ;)

I enjoyed listening to your story. Even though I don't know you personally, you and Raquel seem like great people. How Raquel shows her affection for you; my Filipina wife does the same to me, even after 21 years of marriage.

Watched a few of ur videos in the past couple weeks and I love the vibe and style of your videos/lifestyle. Just subscribed!! You guys are so happy together and it’s evident in how you interact. Army Vet here with Filipina GF long distance relationship. I’ve visited and met her family. Can’t say enough about how solid of a person my GF is. Feminine, genuine, and loving. No wise man would cheat or screw it up. Looking to retire there as well. All the best to you both! Blessings.

I met my wife on the Christian matching website; she was 2 years in USA already. After 3 months of chatting online via webcam, I met her in person and I proposed on the second day. On the third day I met her family of 12 and the wedding was planned 9 months later (I also had to ask her parents for permission to merry her). Few years later we have 3 kids, living in US but planning to visit Asia. Prior to finding my wife, I online dated girls from Philippines and other Asian countries for 3 years; also dated a couple of those who already lived in USA.

Yes, congratulations. I love the way that you are both so respectful of each other.

Cory, you guys and Isla Pamiliya are by far my favorite channels about the Philippines! Definitely not boring to hear your journey. In fact quite the opposite. I too am planning to move, hopefully, likely, to the Philippines. I appreciate all the knowledge and like, I betcha most others, we love hearing the details, um, especially like the wrong buss kinda stuff, roflol. 😜

Nice story. I met my Filipina fiancée in Shanghai, China. We are both expats that met on a dating app. When i first met her she was also extremely busy working many hours to help her family back in the Philippines. About 1 year later we moved in with each other here in Shanghai and we have now been living together almost 2 years. We both plan on moving to the Philippines in 4-5 years or so after we have saved enough money to survive and possibly retire there. 😊

You can tell she loves you by the way she looks at you. you got a W fam 🙌. I know a man in Florida about your age who makes $200k and is stuck (married) to a woman who looks like Mama June. Get your passport fellas! ✈️

I’ve been waiting to hear the story 🙌🏻

I got a good laugh about everyone going away and taking their plates 😂😂😂😂😂. This just shows she is grounded, she have a good family and I can say you are blessed to have her

Awesome! So great you guys found each other. God Bless.

Wow glad I found you guys . What a couple . Wish you guys the best .

Thanks Cory. Really enjoyed your video on how you both met and very good information and advice. I’ll check out the site you recommended. Been on another site but it’s not that great. I’m 56 in May but most people think I’m in my early 40’s and I’m very active. It’s impossible to find someone my age that’s, let’s say, youthful like I am so looking for a younger woman. Age difference is not accepted in Canada so it’s been hard to meet a significant other here. You definitely made the right choices and have a beautiful wife and life there. Enjoy!!! 😃👍🏻

Your wife is so cute! Have been watching your videos for awhile and you guys are awesome! You both are so nice!

I met my wife on CF also we been married 2 years now this past june. Living in Tennessee. The philipina People are great people.

What an amazing story! Against the odds for sure! I just love to watch you guys! She is such a doll! Amazing catch! I hope 🙏 to find my Filipina life partner!

What you guys have is definitely awesome relationship wise!!! It is why I am looking to going there as well!!

You guys are a really cool couple. Its the small things and the quarky things like you guys talked about that makes the relationship worth it. You look back and laugh at those things.

Thank you for your content about homes and Christian Filipina. I was stationed in the Philippines (USMC) and I found the people to be hardworking and very nice. I am looking forward to seeing more of your content about home purchases/rentals

Good luck in your adventures together moving forward. I’ve traveled to many places in PI and absolutely love that place. I married a Filipina about a year and a half ago, still waiting for the time she will come over. Great story guys and wish both of you much success.

It has been a exceptionally snowy winter here in Nevada and I envy you all in the Phils. with the warm weather and coconut trees. It has been a few years since I vacationed there and I am getting the urge to go back and visit again.

I just found your channel. Much respect. I'm a 30 yr old male from Miami, heading out that way soon. I plan to travel frequently but keep PH as a base.

BEAUTIFUL STORY!!! I am 100% interested in your path; hope to meet yall one fine day, in the Philippians...

BOSTON!! I am in Lynn Mass. Congrats lovely cpl. She is a sweetheart Filipinas are god's angels on earth. I was just in York Maine. GO BRUINS!!!

Such an awesome experience, so touching, wishing you both all the happiness the world has to offer! Much, much love from California!!!! Looking forward to more videos!

What a lovely story told in a warm, honest, open and humorous manner :) You are both lucky to have found each other, and we all wish you enduring happiness and good fortune.

She's really cute, both how she appears and her personality. YOu did well, you each did. Congrats.

Love watching your channel and the content your channel puts out. You guys seems like amazing people. Would definitely be awesome to potentially meet you guys when I make the move to the Philippines. Keep up the the good work and making great informative videos and have a great day.

you 2 are so positive and smiling all the time. Thanks for videos..keep it up. In 1 week i watched about 20 your videos. Gives me hope 🙂 .

I am glad things worked out for you two. I am terrified meeting strangers because there are too many scammers so I always keep my distance. I dont easily trust people because I fear of getting screwed. My fear is so great I rather be single than take any chances!

What a respectable courtship defies the stenotypes of these relationships

You two are cute. Happy you guys made it work so well

A great story guys! Emy and I can definitely relate as far as the co vid delays. Long, costly hold ups! Emy and I met in a similar fashion. We've been married now for over 3 years and are both so very happy. Thanks for sharing your story!

Chicken, chicken...they brought me tears. After many years, I visited my home country, Philippines. After Cebu, I stayed week in Coron. Since it was rural, the first morning I was awakened by the chicken. As I gazed at the beach and the serenity punctuated with chicken morning call, memory of my childhood growing in a rural area came rushing in. I was teary eyed with the beauty of rural Philippines

love your story ,more day to day stuff, life as it happens.thanks,more videos

What a beautiful love story! You are an amazing couple. Congratulations.

Amazing story! Very happy for the both of you.

Congratulations on finding each other, you make a very nice couple :)

I am happy for you guys. I spent 5 years in the Philippines when I was a kid, from 1960 to 65. I was 10 years old when I went with my family there. I loved it there.... I went back for 8 months in the mid 90s. I would love to live there if it wasn't so humid. I loved it when we would go to Baguio. The organization that my dad worked for has cabins on Navy Base Rd. The weather was perfect for me there. My dad worked at the Philippine Publishing House - 632 Leland Dr. Caloocan, Metro Manila. We lived in a house there. In the 60s it was out in the country.

Great story, good vibes and you two make a super couple IMO... Thanks for sharing your experiences... One day we'll share a cappuccino or a beer Inshallah (as they say in Dubai!) and make some more good experiences/have a few laughs... I've watched your journey here online for quite some time, and thoroughly enjoyed and learned from the adventures as well... TC... 🙏🙏🙏 👍😎👍

Thank you! Been waiting for this video 😊

I'm a guy from Ireland who met my amazing Filipina wife 25 years ago in San Jose CA, where we still live today. There was no on-line dating back then, just newspaper classifieds, basically the same thing, but slower:). Actually her mom pur the add in the paper, but that’s a story for another time. Anyhow my observation watching the videos is that you can take the Filipina out of the Philippines, but you can never take the Philippines out of the Filipina.....and that’s a good thing. The caring and loving nature, combined with the joy just be alive, is still within her core. She constantly reminds me of whats really important, and I’m so blessed to have her by my side every day

bro, great job respecting and courting in the way y'all did - going to the hotel alone each night.

Soulmates are what comes into mind❤ you two always put a smile on my face. Can not wait to go live in pH myself

Love your videos, love your house build, love the amazing couple you are and how you present the Philippines. You did good! I am in LDR with a Filipina and will say that they are the best women in the world. Would LOVE to see more on how the solar is doing. Though love all you do, but that is something you should come back to now and again.

The affection and body language is so refreshing to see. The love is unmistakable. Love to see it. Youve gained a suscriber 🙌👌😊

I just recently came across your channel, and loving it! You are both inspiring, as my wife (Filipina) and I want to move to the Philippines full time, we’re on a 10 or so year plan. We are happy to finally able to return for a visit to the Philippines this September, after two long years of Covid making near impossible! For Cory; are you originally from Maine?! I’m born and raised!

Wowww I'm so so smiling and admiring you both and the love and smiles I see on your faces...I'm so elated for you both genuine friendship and your love to your wife family.....I pray your true love lasts forever....cheers... **I can't find you on Instagram.
