If you watched the slide, great! But make sure you’ll read through this blog because today, I’m sharing one of the most nakakakilig stories I got to hear and learn from my lovely clients as a wedding photographer in Manila (I’m now based in Alabang, yey!). I’m so sure it will get you all these Valentine’s Day feels.
Just recently, I got to work with Eliza and Kris for their wedding at Two Gardens in Tagaytay. It was so fun working with these two who were so chill all day out. And being me girls, I really really have to spill their love story to you because it tickles my bones every time (fyi,I have their permission, haha). So,
This is Eliza.
This is Kris.
And yes, they married. But it all started not so long ago in their trip to Hongkong. Erh… not really “their” trip as a couple. Eliza was with her boyfriend at the time while Kris was with his love interest. The trip was actually a celebration of Eliza’s ex’s and his friend Kris’ graduation in military school. Yah, they were classmates and friends.
Funny thing at the trip? Ex had a new camera and he just kept on testing it with Eliza and Kris as the subject. (Seriously!) And then…
“Then I noticed him while we were watching the fireworks sa Disneyland. Sobrang happy nya lang. Parang bata. That left me thinking na this is the kind of person I wanna be with (apologies to my ex! )”. – Eliza
Eliza didn’t try to contact Kris after that trip. However, she kept asking her ex about him.
Then one day, after three years, Kris shared a post on Facebook which Eliza “liked”.
“nagpost si KN sa FB “19 Reasons Why Military Men Make the Best Boyfriends” ni-like ko. Then he asked me out kc yun daw yung sign na hiningi nya sa Lord para sa taong mapapangasawa nya.”
