Rommel Basco, 55, and Rosalyn Ferrer, 50, desire to get married since they met 24 years ago, but they’ve been faced with a tough life.

For several years, Rosalyn Ferrer, 50, and Rommel Basco, 55, reside in a small shack in an empty patch of wasteland with six children; hence the dream of having a wedding wasn’t a thing that could be afforded.

Fortunately, Richard Strandz and his friends help give the couple a surprise makeover and wedding.

Richard, a hair salon owner, met with the pair amid collecting plastic to sell to scrape and get enough money for food.
