How we met

Their story didn’t start with love at first sight, more like a roast at first glance. Way before they were even friends, their paths had already crossed. Back in grade school, one of his football teammates had a crush on Joy. While checking her out, the guy pointed and said, 'Crush ko ’yan!' to which Chio very kindly replied, '’Yan crush mo? Di man maganda.' But fate had a better sense of humor. About a year later, they ended up in the same friend group. On one of their early hangouts, Chio took a group photo during lunch. Everyone messaged him for the picture, but only one conversation kept going. From casual chats to constant conversations, what started as a playful roast turned into a real connection. And now? That same girl he didn’t think was cute? She’s the one he’s marrying.
