Our Story

Every great love story begins somewhere, and ours started with a little nudge from a mutual friend. At the time, we were living in different parts of the world—he was in the UAE, and I was in the Philippines. He asked for my Snapchat, and when he sent his first message, I’ll admit, I wasn’t in a rush to reply. Sometimes hours, sometimes days would pass before I responded. But patience paid off, and over time, our chats turned into something deeper.

For seven months, we got to know each other from afar, sharing dreams, stories, and endless conversations. Then, finally, I visited him in the UAE. Our first date was as simple as it gets—Baskin Robbins in Fujairah Mall. There were no grand gestures, just genuine connection and easy conversation. In that simplicity, we found something profound. We clicked immediately, discovering that we not only shared the same thoughts but also the same hopes for the future.

For two years, we navigated the challenges of a long-distance relationship. The late-night calls, time differences, and long stretches apart weren’t always easy, but they taught us resilience, trust, and commitment. Then, everything changed—I landed a job in the UAE. Finally, we were in the same place, building a life together.

Over the years, we’ve grown not just as individuals but as partners. We’ve celebrated each other’s successes, supported each other through challenges, and learned to love not just the good parts but also the imperfections that make us who we are.

After six beautiful years together, he completely surprised me with the perfect proposal. It all started with a seemingly innocent favor—his friend asked him to create a reel featuring me. I thought nothing of it as his friend filmed us driving around in the desert. When we parked at a quiet spot, he got out, dropped to one knee, and asked me to spend forever with him. It was perfect—intimate, heartfelt, and so “us.”

Now, here we are—partners in life and work, both proudly part of the Air Arabia family. We’ve built a little family of our own with Max, our playful and lovable French bulldog. Together, we’ve explored new places, embraced new adventures, and created countless memories. As we approach our 7th anniversary, we’re excited to begin this new chapter as husband and wife.

From that first Snapchat message to this moment, our story has been one of love, growth, and commitment. We can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter with all of you by our side.
