Love At First Swipe

Who would’ve thought a simple swipe right would lead to forever?

We met on a dating app—two individuals from the fast-paced world of advertising. She was a powerhouse in print, and I thrived in the ever-evolving world of digital. From the start, it seemed as though fate had perfectly aligned our timelines, bringing together two passionate minds from opposite ends of the same creative universe.

Our first date took place at Epic Resto in Tanay, Rizal—an aptly named venue for what turned out to be an unforgettable beginning. With the lush mountains as their backdrop, the majestic view of the Laguna de Bay sunset, and laughter echoing around them, the connection was instant. It wasn’t just the setting or the food—it was the effortless conversation, the mutual dreams, and the uncanny feeling that we had known each other far longer than just a few exchanged messages.

In the two years since, we've turned ordinary weekends into spontaneous adventures. From sun-drenched beach escapes to winding road trips through mountain passes, and even getting lost in the buzz of new cities, travel has become our shared rhythm. Every destination has marked a chapter in our evolving story, weaving memories into something beautifully their own.

I'm a Gemini—curious, spontaneous, a little wild. She's a Sagittarius—bold, free-spirited, always chasing the next adventure. It’s a cosmic combination of harmony and chaos that somehow just fits. Our differences spark energy, and our similarities build a strong, grounding foundation.

Now, as we prepare to say "I do" under the light of the Sturgeon Moon, it feels as though the universe has written this next chapter just for us. From a digital spark to a love story written across landscapes and constellations, we're ready to begin our greatest journey yet—as husband and wife.
