This story began in 2003, when Ino and Ina were in their First Year of high school.

One day, Ina and her friends were on their way up to class when her friend called out to her, "Ina, meet Ino". Ina turns around, sees Ino next to her friend, smiling at her. Just like those cheesy and cringey movies, Ina had a "smile at first sight" moment. Since then, Ino would always try to get Ina's attention anytime and anywhere they saw each other, making "pa-cute" and "pa-pogi".

I guess it's safe to say that they both had their cheesy and cringey movie moment that day: "smile at first sight" for Ina and "love at first sight" for Ino.

Ino courted Ina for 4 years, and they became a couple during their 4th year in high school. However, the relationship was tested when Ina left for Spain in 2007 and again for London in 2009. In the end, they agreed that maintaining a long-distance relationship was not easy and decided to end the relationship regardless of how they still feel for each other.

Ina continued to live in London. She focused on her studies while working simultaneously, as well as taking care of her family. As for Ino, he finished college, then started working in the Aviation Industry, and eventually moved to Riyadh for greener pastures in 2016.

Time passed without seeing each other with very minimal communications in between, but even then, Ino was always vocal that he was still in love with Ina. Unfortunately, for them, the timing was always never right and the reasons why they broke up then were still the same reasons why they can't be together.

It was February of 2024, when Ino saw a picture of Ina on Facebook through a mutual friend, that Ino decided to work up the courage to message Ina. Ina, who was not sure whether she should respond, nervously answered back.

They both talked about what life was like, only to find out that all this time, they still both had feelings for each other. Both praying and hoping that God has a plan for them.

After waiting for 15 years, Ino and Ina finally reunited on September 14, 2024, when Ino was given a work mission in London. Although it was a short trip, it was one of the most memorable moments for them.

Proving that God's timing and plan is always better than theirs. Providing ways and conquering all the reasons why it was not working out it the past because God knows that “When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen” Isaiah 60:22.

It wasn't until November 24, 2024, that Ino came back to London for a vacation to spend time with Ina and her family. Without Ina knowing, Ino has planned something that could change both their lives forever.

On November 28, 2024, after a fun day out. While Ino and Ina were eating dinner, Ino sneakily dropped the ring in Ina's champagne glass, held her hand and asked, "Will you marry me?" Shocked as she stares at the ring, she looks at Ino and answers, "Yes!" Ino takes the ring out of the champagne glass and puts it on Ina's finger, then celebrates their engagement.

Here we are now, asking you to join us in celebrating our second chance in love and a lifetime together, all thanks to God's perfect timing.

He has made everything beautiful in its time.

- Ecclesiastes 3:11
