They first met on May 2022 when their teams were combined in one department but they first got to really know each other during their Department's Summer Outing in Laiya. It was a fun-filled day and it was during the night when they bonded, shared stories, and got to know each other since they were the only ones left in their drinking session while some of their friends were only cooking "pulutan" and sharing stories with them. They went there as mere teammates but they left as new friends with connections made.
Months after their summer outing, they went back to their own routines but still remained as friends. It was on August 2023 when they started to have constant conversations and it was also then when he started picking her up to go to work and taking her home. This went on until mutual understanding has been formed and they were enjoying each others' company. They also eat out and have dates but it was on October 5, 2023 when they officially had their first date at Burger King, Sto. Tomas since it was after he officially confessed his feelings for her to make it exclusive. That is also when they took their first picture together. The same picture that he immediately and proudly shared to his friends who were so happy for him because he's finally starting to have his special someone.
The bride was supposed to officially "say yes" to the groom on November 5, 2023 when he first took her to meet his college friends at Kanluran Cafe however, she missed the timing and was not able to do it. Then, November 9 came, it was a normal day at work and she was being teased and asked by their teammates during morning break on when she will answer him but she only smiles playfully as response. It was in the afternoon, an hour before the end of work, when she finally decided to say yes so she made a post-it note with the cliche "Chemical Symbols" of the word "TaU Na" for him to decode using the printed periodic table. She wanted to make him happy before the day ends because he was so stressed that day. He was over the moon so he took her to Rosario's at Tagaytay to celebrate their first day as a couple.
November 8, 2023 was an originally planned date by the couple to celebrate their 2nd anniversay in advance because there was a forecast that there will be an upcoming typhoon on November 9. What she didn't know is that he has planned a surprise proposal for her. He was supposed to propose at Caleruega Church in Nasugbu but things didn't go the way he planned because a wedding was being held in the same church that time. He kept on thinking and asking her if there are other chapels they can go to to which she confusedly thought and responded with other chapels that are within their route. But, they decided to just go to Breakfast at Antonio's to have their breakfast and that is where he proposed to her. It was not as loud as typical proposals but it was as genuine, thoughtful, and committed as it was supposed to be since though they have already been planning a wedding, he still considered planning a proposal that every woman dreams of experiencing.
