Pamamanhikan

Being us both from traditional families, we believed in the importance of "pamamanhikan". It is when the guy formally asks the parents of the girl for her hand in marriage. At first I was the one who is really nervous. However, Marlo is really sure that he wants to marry me ♥. He did not show any signs of nervousness.

Everything went well. Sorry I did not have any pictures. He and his parents went to our house and brought something that we can feast over. My sister and brother are also present together with our mom. Marlo did literally asked for my mother's blessing. I can't believe that he did have the guts to do everything he did just for me ^_^

From there on, we have told them our plans. This includes the church where we want to get married. For the reception, they also suggested some places that we can check.

The Proposal

March 19, 2016, while I thought it was just another ordinary Pyromusical evening, everything seems so perfect. We had VIP tickets with buffet at the Philippine Pyromusical Competition. An orchestra was setup to play music for the Philippines' finale exhibition. Everything was so magical that night. 

I was very happy after the show. It was perfect! Stunning! You can check their show here.

After the show, Marlo asked me to have a Ferris wheel ride. We don't normally take Ferris wheels so I agreed. I was full of happiness when we took the ride, mostly because of the wonderful experience that we had from the show. Until nothing more perfect can ever happen. He knelt down, took out a ring from his pocket, and asked me to marry him!! Of course I was so surprised! I said YES!!

This is the start of our journey to the altar and our road to forever.
