Vincent and Shiela’s love story began as workmates in a private water utility company. Their desks were side by side, and from there, a simple friendship grew—filled with laughter, teasing, and everyday conversations. By January 2020, Vincent started chatting with Shiela more often, even asking her to come to work early. Their officemates paired them as partners for the 7 AM duty, and soon after, Vincent admitted his feelings. On February 10, 2020—his birthday—their dating stage officially began. But before Shiela said yes, she gave Vincent a challenge: she wouldn’t accept him as her boyfriend unless he first introduced himself to her family. Vincent, true to his sincerity, gladly accepted. Before the pandemic lockdown, Vincent made a promise to Shiela—that he would accompany her to every place she wanted to visit. Their first trip together was to Intramuros, Manila, followed by Taytay, Rizal and those little adventures became part of their sweet beginnings. Then came March 2020. The pandemic changed everything, and like everyone else, they stayed home. But instead of growing apart, Vincent and Shiela became even closer. Every day was spent on video calls, sharing laughter, stories, and dreams. And on April 8, 2020, in the middle of lockdown, they officially became a couple. As restrictions eased, their journey continued. They grew to know each other even more deeply. Knowing Shiela’s love for museums, Vincent kept his promise and took her to visit them one by one—often before they went to church together. One thing that makes their love extra special is Vincent’s way of showing affection: he loves giving flowers to Shiela on every important occasion, always surprising her and making her feel cherished. Together, they also share a passion for traveling and discovering new places, and of course—bonding over good food. Years passed, and their love only grew stronger. On December 31, 2023, Vincent gave Shiela a promise ring, a symbol of his commitment to a future with her. Then, on December 15, 2024, at a romantic hotel in Tagaytay, Vincent asked Shiela to be his forever. With a joyful heart, she said yes. From officemates to best friends, from lockdown calls to lifelong promises, Vincent and Shiela’s journey is proof that love can flourish anywhere, anytime. And now, they are ready to begin their forever together.
