Love Story
First We Met
Oct 05, 2013
A friend of Gio introduced him to Riza. She thought he looked familiar—an afterthought that lingered. She began to notice that he was in every class. Of course, Gio noticed her too; he often found himself looking her way.
First date

Gio finally asked Riza out for lunch, officially this time. She smiled and said yes. He paid for their meal, and Riza playfully promised to cover the next one. Gio took that as a hopeful sign—there would be a next time. During lunch, he spent most of the time simply listening, captivated by the way Riza talked and laughed. Somehow, the conversation never ran dry; every topic led to another, as if they had an endless world to explore together.
In A Relationship

Gio took a leap and asked Riza if he could visit her home and meet her family. He hoped to speak to her father and express his sincere intentions—but the words wouldn’t come. Before leaving, he asked Riza to take him to the nearest church. She didn’t find it odd and went with him. After a quiet moment, Gio gently held her hand and finally asked for her heart. He promised to protect it and never let it break. Riza said yes.
We're Engaged

Ten years flew by. On Riza’s 30th birthday, she held Serene close, gently dancing her to sleep—their love made real. Gio took Serene from her arms and asked Riza to check his pocket. Inside was the ring he meant to give her a year ago. She laughed, realizing he used Serene as an excuse not to kneel. She said yes.
It was perfect timing—just as God intended. Their journey was built on love, patience, and quiet strength.
