From a simple chat during the pandemic to a lifetime commitment, Angel and Karis’s love story began with a message and grew into something extraordinary. Angel reached out to Karis on April 2, 2021, and just ten days later, they met in person, feeling like they had known each other forever. For Angel, it was ‘heart at first sight,’ drawn to Karis’s genuine heart. Every weekend, Angel would find reasons to spend time with Karis, running errands together—even though he secretly lived far away. By June, he boldly declared his intentions to court her, with a promise that if it was God’s will, they would marry. Karis, once skeptical of love through a ‘reto,’ soon realized that Angel was truly heaven-sent. On July 3, Karis said ‘yes’ to being Angel’s girlfriend, on the condition that the ‘ligaw’ never stops, even after marriage. And on June 18, 2023, she said ‘yes’ again, this time to a lifetime as his wife. Their love, built on faith, joy, and a shared journey, is just beginning.
