01 · Our story

From the beginning.

Two strangers reached for the same old novel at a book fair in Intramuros. Seven years later, here we are.

How we met

2019

How we met

A rainy Saturday at a book fair in Intramuros. Achilles reached for the last copy of a Pablo Neruda collection at the exact moment Celin did. They shared coffee instead of the book, and neither has stopped talking since.

The proposal

2025

The proposal

On a quiet sunrise picnic in Tagaytay, with the Taal volcano in the distance, Achilles asked the question he had carried for months. Celin said yes before he finished asking.

The promise

2026

The promise

Two rings, one date, and a hundred small decisions made side by side. From tastings to seating charts, every detail of December 12 is a promise we are keeping together.
