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.
We are getting married

Counting down
Just married — thank you for celebrating with us.

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.

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.
