We’re Getting Married!

Sometimes, love begins in the most unexpected ways. Ours started with a simple message—he asked for lumpiang shanghai and menudo, thinking there was a fiesta at our house. There wasn’t one, but that funny misunderstanding became the start of everything. What began as casual conversations slowly turned into something more. There was no exact moment—we just found ourselves choosing each other. Somewhere along the way, we joked about a Flores de Mayo gown, and he said, “What if I buy you a gown?” then added, “What if it’s a wedding gown?” It sounded like a joke—but maybe it wasn’t. On August 19, at exactly midnight, he woke me up with a small box. Half asleep, I thought it was just soap—but it turned out to be something much more meaningful: a proposal, and the start of forever. He may have been looking for a lumpiang shanghai and menudo, but what we found was something even better—a love that grew naturally and chose each other every step of the way. And now, here we are, ready for forever.
