Dr. Jose Rizal & Josephine Bracken

Although Rizal have lots of women in the past. The only woman Rizal married whom he called“dulce extranjera” was Josephine Bracken. The attraction between Rizal, the lonely exile, and the young woman blossomed into a relationship. It was not a smooth one because Rizal’s sisters who were in Dapitan to make life more comfortable for their brother suspected Josephine to be a spy of the Spaniards. Nevertheless, Rizal loved Josephine and affectionately called her Josefina. Being a mason, Rizal and Josephine could not get married and because they could not be married in a church, Rizal and Josephine Bracken exchanged vows on this rock.Rizal and Josephine held hands together and married themselves before the eyes of God.
