Daniel Z. Romualdez airport in Tacloban

On 21 October 2007, Henk and Jenny finally met each other on Daniel Z. Romualdez airport in Tacloban, the city where Jenny lives and works. They had known each other for a while, communicating via telephone and internet, but this meeting on the airport of Tacloban was their first real-life meeting.

Henk and Jenny had three weeks together, and they spent about half of that time in Tacloban. Henk's home in Tacloban was Hotel Alejandro.

The wedding of Henk and Jenny took place in Tacloban. In July 2008, Henk and Jenny were reunited in Manila. Together, they went to Tacloban, where they arrived on 24 July. They stayed in Tacloban until the day after the wedding. Henk and Jenny married on 9 August 2008 in Tacloban's Santo Niño Church, with a reception in Le Jardin de Tacloban.
