Our Story
How we found
each other

"It was a rainy Tuesday in BGC when James spilled his entire coffee on my laptop. He was so embarrassed, I couldn't help but laugh."

"One coffee replacement turned into a three-hour conversation, then dinner, then a walk along the bay. Three years later, he asked me to marry him at that exact same coffee shop โ€” same rainy Tuesday, different kind of spill. He knocked over the ring box reaching across the table, and I said yes before it even hit the floor."

โ€” Sarah

The Coffee Spill
James destroyed Sarah's MacBook and offered to buy her a new coffee. She said yes. (To the coffee, not the laptop.)

First Trip โ€” Tagaytay
Their first weekend together. Sarah ate 4 bowls of bulalo. James lost count after 3.

Palawan Together
El Nido, Honda Bay, and the moment James knew she was the one โ€” when she handed her last empanada to a stray dog.

Back at the same BGC coffee shop. Same rainy Tuesday. James knocked the ring box off the table. Sarah said yes before it landed.
