Our love story began through a close circle of friends, bringing us together despite the distance between us. Starting as a long-distance relationship, we navigated the challenges and joys that came with it for several years.

The pivotal moment came when he made the decision to meet me in person in Dubai, accompanied by his closest friends. That meeting set the stage for what would become a beautiful journey together. A year later, he returned the visit and surprised me with a heartfelt proposal.

Following the proposal, I returned to my home in the Philippines, where he had the chance to meet my family for the first time. With a strong foundation of love and commitment, we embarked on the process of the K-1 visa, a journey filled with anticipation and patience.

After a long year of waiting, I finally arrived in the USA. In a beautiful and intimate civil ceremony on May 18, we sealed our commitment to each other. It has been a journey of love, resilience, and unwavering support.

Our hearts are now set on a dream we both cherish - a church wedding surrounded by our beloved family and friends. As we look forward to this joyous celebration, we are grateful for the love that has brought us together and for the love and support that continues to surround us.

Together, we are writing a new chapter in our story, filled with love, laughter, and the promise of a future built on shared dreams and enduring love.
