Our first photo together - November 2008
We're almost 1 year when we had our first official photo.
I'm in a relationship with my then-boyfriend Joel for almost 8 years when we decided (actually, its me who initialized or push through it, but we had talks before) to make our relationship to the next level. It was late September or early October of 2015 when we talk about it. For his excitement, he immediately inform his family of our plans. He has 2 brothers who currently in a serious relationship so he think its better to inform them that we're getting married on the first quarter of 2016 so none of the two will also plan to get married in the same year 2016 (Sukob ang kasal). We actually had a super delayed wedding, 2014 and 2015 when his two younger sisters get married. So, it was settled. We're getting married next year and the Pamamanhikan was schedule on the 2nd week of November. (November 8, 2015 to be exact).
So, before that day came. Let me first tell the back story of our love story. How it's all started. Let's go back in time.When we were 8 years younger.
He may saw me before, when I was still young, free and studying college and he was already working in the said company, Their barracks was a neighborhood. I don't even notice him before because I'm currently dreaming of ended up with my guy best friend (oops.. that's another story). We were actually strangers before. We're working in a same company but in a very different department. I am a college graduate and I'm working on the office as a Clerk/Secretary. He, without judging him, works on the field, as a laborer. I saw him, he saw me. That's it. It's not love at first sight. We're not friends at all.
I worked in that company for 5 months, when I finished the contract I stay at home for a while helping our family business, a canteen/carinderia while looking for a new job. I used to have a loading station where he usually buy load, that's where he get my number. He began texting and calling me. Making his moves to win my heart. December 11, 2007 when we went to his place because the father of one of his co-worker who happened to his first cousin died. It is also an opportunity for him to introduce me to his family, (yikes, meet the parents na agad). I went there with my mom and I was surprise that everyone his family already knew me. And the next day, December 12, 2012 was the big day, I already said yes to him thru phone call. Hahaha. It is because we where in two different places and I want it to be on the 12th. I first inform my mom that I will say yes to him that day. So I said "I love you too". He was my first real boyfriend. The one before him was just a puppy love (and that's another story).
Those first few year was like a roller coaster ride. Ups and Downs. On and Off. Turnaround. Adjusting every now and then. Petty quarrel here and there. Misunderstanding.
But we surpass all those trials in life that why we came to the day that we always dreamed of. Marrying the man who conquers all his fears just to ride with you on Enchanted Kingdom's Anchor's Away and Ferris Wheel. Learned to drive so he can drive you crazy. Learned to cook so he can cook for you and your mom. Laugh at your so corny jokes. Travel the city with you. Take more selfies with you. Never get tired of cleaning the car so you will not ride on a messy car. Love you, your flaws and your mom. Love you even in your ugliest and worsed days. Love and understands you. And of course, I will marrying my best friend and my best enemy. I will marry the one that God made for especially for me. God bless our marriage.
