A TEMPORARY BREAK ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Islas Family,
After almost nine wonderful years of serving you, we, Marc and Mariel, have made the heartfelt decision to take a temporary break effective November 1, 2025.
This past month has brought profound grief with the loss of two amazing fathers that are close to our hearts — Marc’s dad and Marc’s sister father-in-law. Their passing within just 40 days has deeply impacted us, and we want to take this time to honor their memories and the incredible legacies they left behind.
Mariel has been away from her home since 2013, and after 12 years, she hasn’t had the chance to see her father. It’s time for us to embrace this moment, reflect, and cherish family — something we hold dearly.
During this break, we’ll be heading to the Philippines to reconnect, heal, and spend some much-needed quality time together, honoring our fathers and the love they taught us.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we take this step. Thank you for being part of our journey. We look forward to reuniting with you soon, stronger and ready to create more beautiful memories together.
💖,
Marc & Mariel
