Our Story
In July 2017 the two were both running free around Balanga City's Razz Entertainment Complex, as most singles do. JT was quite the bachelor- planning weekend getaways with friends, bike trips, and taking last minute trips to Laguna or Batangas, wherever the wind blew.
Elle is an accomplished professional model, beauty queen and generally a tireless traveler, which included over-extending herself, saying YES to every "Go-Sees", gigs and social engagements that came her way.
After a mutual friend of the two suggested they would make a cute couple, a date was on the books and they began to discover just how compatible they were. In no time, they also discovered they were inseparable and very in love. The rest is history- they've shared some amazing ocean adventures, love for mystery/thriller movies, Japanese foods, and now they’re ready to share the rest of their lives together, too.
The Engagement
JT brought Elle and their little baby Juneau to Glorietta Mall in Makati out of a faux cover that he will be meeting with his work colleague and discuss work related stuff.
Secretly, JT had invited Elle's friends to witness and help capture this important milestone for them in Italianis Bistro, where the two had their first date in Manila.
JT, already holding the ring inside his pocket, is not sure if he should be the first to kneel down or wait for Elle's friends to go down from the escalator. As more anxiety is building up the already impatient and hungry Elle started asking why their food is not served yet and where's my colleague that we're supposed to meet and finally, at the sight of her approaching friends JT immediately knelt down and now with a huge grin on his face, asked Elle if she could be his wife.
Elle initally gave JT a puzzled look but when she saw her friends from UCC Cheerleading Squad and #Solids cheering for her to "Say Yes" tears rolled down her eyes and she said yes.
