Our Story
Christian and Leah are highschool sweethearts who met in the summer of 2012. Leah became a new member of a traditional Filipino dance group called Pinoy Kids. The pair met for the first time at a friend's house to practice their dance routines in preparation for the OC Fair. As they spent more of their summers together prepping and performing for different events, naturally, they grew closer and developed romantic feelings for each other. Their first official date was Christian's highschool Homecoming Dance and the rest is history. Fast forward to now, the couple has celebrated 10 years of their relationship and counting. On April 9, 2022 Christian proposed to Leah in Bommer Canyon, Irvine and they are excited to celebrate their marriage with their family and friends this December.
