Hey there,

So, here's how it all went down: Two people, both a bit beaten up by life, decided to give this whole online thing a shot. Jade was curious because of those TikTok ads, and Daryl was just looking for someone to chat with.

But, man, Litmatch was kind of a mess, wasn't it? Among all the weird conversations and the "jejemon" chatter, there was one bright spot: Daryl. He wasn't like the others—no weird vibes, just genuine talk.

We hit it off, exchanging messages about anything and everything. And you know what? We started calling each other! Daryl's up in Baguio, and I'm down in Bicol, but distance didn't matter. Our phone calls made the miles feel a little less daunting.

Funny thing is, both of us were nursing broken hearts at the time. Maybe that's why our connection felt so real amidst the chaos of Litmatch. We found comfort in each other's stories, in the shared laughter and late-night talks.

Today, as we stand on the edge of forever, we're still that same pair—only now, we're ready to take on the world together. With love as our guide and each other by our side, there's nothing we can't handle.

It wasn't long before our conversations transcended the superficial and ventured into the realm of genuine connection. Despite the distance between Baguio and Bicol, our late-night phone calls bridged the gap, making the miles seem insignificant compared to the depth of our bond. Amidst our own heartbreaks, we found comfort and understanding in each other's stories, laying the foundation for something beautiful.

As introverts who cherished the intimacy of our relationship, we wanted our engagement to be a private moment shared between just the two of us.

In the quiet comfort of our car, amidst the soft glow of the dashboard lights, Daryl turned to me with a heart full of love. It was our fifth month together, and as we prepared to head out for dinner at Lemon and Olives, he took my hand and whispered those four words that changed everything: "Marry me."

In that simple, intimate moment, surrounded by the warmth of our love, I knew that this was the beginning of a beautiful journey together. With tears of joy and laughter, I said yes, embracing the promise of forever in each other's arms.
