Our Story

vector
“Sometimes, the most beautiful beginnings are the ones you never see coming.”

It all began on April Fool’s Day 2023 — a day known for jokes and surprises, but destiny had something far more meaningful planned for us. On Bumble, with a single swipe right, two strangers unknowingly set the wheels of fate in motion.

But there was a twist — on Bumble, the girl has to send the first message, and the chance to connect only lasts 24 hours. Paul, feeling an unexplainable spark, waited with quiet hope. Hours passed… and just before the clock ran out, Flora started the conversation. A simple “hello” turned into late-night talks, endless laughter, and the beginning of something neither of us expected.

In May 2023, our story leapt from screens to reality when Paul traveled all the way to Lucban, Quezon, just in time for the colorful Pahiyas Festival. Amidst vibrant decorations, music, and celebration, we finally met — and in that moment, everything felt right, as if our hearts had always known.

By June 2023, we made it official. From then on, Manila became the backdrop of our growing love — quiet coffee dates, long walks, endless conversations, and dreams shared under city lights. Every moment together deepened our bond, turning ordinary days into treasured memories.

People often say it’s rare for two people who meet online to find something real, something lasting. But here we are — defying the odds, proving that sometimes, one small swipe can change everything.

Then came July 2024 — the day Paul knelt down, heart pounding, and asked Flora the question that would shape the rest of their lives:
“Will you spend forever with me?”
Through happy tears and a heart full of love, she said yes.

And now, here we are — standing at the doorway of our greatest adventure yet. Hand in hand, surrounded by the people we love most, we’re ready to write the next chapter of our story… together. 💍✨
