Our Love Story

Niel and Lovely’s journey to forever started not in the grandest of places, nor during any monumental occasion, but rather through a simple encounter when he saw her during one of her festival dance rehearsals sometime in 2016. You may call it, “love at first sight.”


Perhaps guided by fate, they met again, Niel asked for her number, Lovely gave hers, they became friends, and a year later, on July 17, 2017, they became lovers.


Back then, Lovely was still maneuvering through the bumps and cracks of college life in the city, while he was already working back in their small hometown. 


They may be a few nautical miles apart, but they never let distance define their relationship. Regardless of the weather, Niel would go back and forth from their island to the city just to see Lovely. He would constantly send her love letters, go on coffee dates with her, and at times go on vacations to unwind together.


Eventually, they worked together in the same institution as colleagues and as lovers. And in November 2024, Niel finally decided that the time had come to make it official. 


Conspiring with Lovely’s sister and her best friend, he secretly purchased an engagement ring, carefully preparing for the moment he had long dreamed of. Then, on December 26, 2024, with the colorful flowers and cool breeze of Atok Benguet’s Northern Blossom surrounding them, he knelt before her and asked her, “La, will you marry me?”


With every beat of her heart, tears in her eyes, she answered, “Yes!” 


It has been such an amazing journey, filled with love, laughter, and even tears. Now they can’t wait to celebrate this special milestone with all of you! See you!
