Our Love Story

We met in the summer of 2014, both young adults trying to make our way into the real world. Despite having no mutual friends and attending different universities, we crossed paths at the same company. I was there simply to try to gain experience since I had just turned 18, while he was there as an intern.


He asked for my number, and soon we were messaging each other regularly. Not long after, we decided to go see a movie together—Transformers: Age of Extinction. It was the first sci-fi action film we watched together, not realizing it would be the start of many more movie nights in that same genre.


For some reason, we lost touch after that. I figured it must have just been a fleeting thing, something passing. But then, on a Sunday afternoon, we ran into each other again—this time in front of the baggage counter at a shopping mall in Dumaguete City. I was in the claim lane, and he was on the opposite side. When I glanced over my shoulder and saw him standing there, "shocked" was an understatement. My introverted self froze, unsure how to react, so I pretended not to see him, silently hoping he wouldn’t notice me.


But he was clearly set on teasing me. As I made my way quickly to the exit, he intercepted me, "accidentally" bumping into me as if it were all a coincidence. He must have noticed me deliberately avoiding eye contact. I was completely embarrassed, but maybe it was fate pulling us back together. That chance encounter led us to reconnect, and soon after, we decided to be together. This was where it all truly began.

As we may all hear from many relationships, ours was far from easy. In the beginning, we were apart more than when we were together. The distance was our constant adversary. We had so many pushes and pulls. But, just as the sun rises after the darkest night, we always find our way back to the light—together.


Godfrey chose to propose in Taiwan, as it was where we took our first trip abroad together back in 2018. It took us a decade to finally join our lives in marriage. We’re truly excited to have you celebrate this joyous and special day with us!
