Our Love Story
First We Met
December 02, 2015
December 2, 2015 – Naga, Camarines Sur
POV of the Groom
The first time I saw her, I immediately noticed how loud and talkative she was. She filled the room with energy, laughter, and stories. For most people, that might be intimidating—but for me, it made everything easier. She was so easy to talk to. So natural. So real.
That’s why it wasn’t hard for me to ask for her number. It didn’t feel forced. It felt like the most normal thing to do—like the start of something I didn’t fully understand yet, but already wanted.
POV of the Bride
My first impression of him? Quiet. Very quiet. The kind of guy who simply observes. So when he suddenly reached out and asked for my number, I was honestly shocked. Of all people, the quiet guy?
Then a week later, he went back to Manila. That’s why I didn’t think anything serious would come out of it. It was just a simple exchange of numbers. Just a short encounter in Naga. Nothing more

GELO: But after just a week in Naga, I had to go back to Manila. In my mind, it was just a simple connection—just getting the number of a girl who was easy to talk to. I didn’t expect it to turn into anything more.
Joylyn: There was something sincere about him. Something calm that balanced my loud and talkative personality.
In A Relationship

Days passed… and our conversations became almost everyday. Even with the distance between Naga and Manila, the connection didn’t fade. Good mornings turned into late-night talks. Simple “kumusta?” became hours of sharing dreams, stories, and random thoughts.
What we both thought was just a simple pagkuha ng number slowly turned into something deeper.
The loud girl and the quiet boy found rhythm in each other—despite the distance, despite the odds.

November 2024 – Baguio
Almost nine years later, in November 2024, we went on a trip to Baguio with our friends. It was supposed to be just another fun getaway—cool breeze, laughter, and memories in the making.
But for him, it was something more.
In the middle of that beautiful city, surrounded by friends and the cold Baguio air, he asked the most important question of our lives.
From a simple exchange of numbers in Naga… to a lifetime promise in Baguio.
What started as a one-week encounter and a simple conversation became a love that grew quietly, steadily, and unexpectedly—proving that sometimes, the most beautiful stories begin in the simplest ways.
