A day that women dream about, aside from their wedding day, is the day “The One” proposes. We dream of grand gestures, movie-like proposals to simple sit down dinner proposals…

Mine, well.. It went like this….

I know this is my second post but I just had to share this video and this moment in my life. To give you a background, GP and I met on Facebook. My cousin Luis Manzano sent me an SMS asking if he could give my number to his friend GP cause he found me cute. I said NO, and to be nice, I told Luis that if ever he saw me out he could introduce GP to me.  Weeks passed and he added me on Facebook… Fine, I added him since I thought it would be no harm. Later on, we started chatting.. And this is how it started..

GP: You don’t know me…but I figured getting this message from a complete stranger would probably be less creepy than whatever it is Luis must’ve told you …. I told him to be smooth … but all that MMA training has apparently damaged his capacity for social finesse…so… here’s me taking the little flashy thingies those Men in Black guys use….. and erasing from your memory whatever it is Mr. Manzano said… (also erasing the very lame fact that i just referenced a geeky 1990’s movie)…we can start with HI! I’m GP.”

4 days later…

Andi: hahahahaha. hi. im andi.

And so began our cyber friendship.. I started to get to know GP, and later on found out that he was the Creative Director of Century Properties. And also at the same time, the song ‘Marry Me’ by Train just came out. I messaged him saying he should listen to it and watch the music video since he could get ideas for his work… Thus, him proposing with the song Marry Me.

You see, GP and I have talked about marriage already at this time and spending forever together. I knew he was going to propose (or I wished he did). I’ve waited months and got disappointed because he could’ve done it in so many special places, like when we went to Paris or to Japan together… Eventually, I knew I had to let it go and just said, “you know what, if it happens, it happens”.  He later on did it in a way that was truly without equal as you have seen on the video <3 On the way back from Boracay, in my ugliest clothes and no make up on… Who would’ve thought! Happiest day of my life apart from my wedding day :)

Our love story to continue…
