Our Love Story
First We Met
June 17, 2002
Jun and Iya, then known in school by their first names, Alicio and Mary Lois, became classmates in kindergarten. To their four-year-old selves, this time in their lives was just an ordinary stage in their formative years, but unbeknownst to them, this would be a pivotal part of their love story.
First Date
June 17, 2024
After more than two decades since their last meeting, Alicio and Mary Lois reconnected. All it took for him to reach out to her was one random note on Messenger. Day by day, they talked about different things, from their countless commonalities and pet peeves, to their dreams and aspirations, and it didn't take long before they fell for each other. Thus, Jun wooed Iya with her parents' permission, and they started dating.
