"We first met in college as classmates. We became friends because he was kind and always let me copy his math or programming homework. Little did I know, he was kind because, according to my friends, he had a crush on me. I shrugged it off and still saw him as a friend, but his kindness slowly won my heart. He eventually confessed his feelings and asked if he could court me. And on March 9, 2012, he asked me “Ready ka na ba?” and I said Yes! (Despite the potential disapproval from my aunt and mom, sorry po) Initially, I thought our relationship would be short-lived, thinking we're too young, prioritizing studies and he may not be that serious about us. However, 1 month became 6, then a year, his patience continued as he always escorted me home in Tandang Sora even though he lives in Tala, Caloocan. We both graduated after 3 years. When I found a job in Makati, he also searched for work there to be close, ensuring we could see each other regularly. Seven years passed, then ten, and he remained the same. His character hasn't changed since I first met him. My love for him grew immensely. Last year, he asked me again if I was ready. Well, yes! It took quite a while, didn't it? Just kidding! Hahaha. I love you, my bibiloves! See you at the altar!"

"I met her at school. We were classmates. On the first day, we had an accounting class together, and I noticed her right away because she has this bright aura that I can't explain (like a shiny pokemon). That's when I started to like her. As time went by, I didn't tell her how I felt. My plan was to focus on my studies and then tell her later, but things changed because of some friends and situations, and that's when our story really began.
Skipping ahead, when we were in our final year of college, we joked about when we'd like to get married. We decided on March 9, 2024, because it's the same day we got together and it's on a Saturday, so everyone can come since it's a weekend.
Moving forward again, in January 2023, I started planning to propose to her on our 11th anniversary, which is exactly a year before our planned wedding date. Everything went well with the proposal, except I got a bit nervous and forgot some things I wanted to say! Now, we're busy planning our dream wedding, and I can't wait to see her at the altar. I'm thrilled to spend my life with her (my complete opposite lol)"
