How to get there
Our love story
Em and Roxane love story isn't like the story we read on novels and watch in movies. They are two completely different persons, with different personalities. Em is the kind of person who always looks for fun, a happy-go-lucky person, on the other hand, Roxane is the independent, straightforward and self-supporting person. Year 2007, Em and Roxane became classmate in some subjects in Adamson University. Since they always see each other at school, Em became interested with Roxane and decided to show interest on her. Always inviting her to eat lunch, and asking her to go home together, riding the LRT, so Em can have time with Roxane. After few weeks of being together, Em decided to court Roxane. But with education in mind, both of them decided to finish school as friends and eventually seperated their ways. Years had passed, 2015, with a simple Hi and Hello on facebook. The love birds crossed paths again. They started chatting and talking with each other again. With years apart, they decided to see each other again. But Roxane found Em's attitude a little boastful. But still, Em tried courting Roxane. Always asking her to go out, always asking about her day. But with doubts in mind, Em and Roxane's love story is bound to an end. Several years after, 2020, Em and Roxane crossed path again. This is when Roxane finally introduced Em to her family. But with Pandemic knocking around the corner. The inevitable happened, Fate and Destiny isn't on their side and due to this circumstances. Roxane asked Em to stop courting. And both faced Pandemic apart. Everybody taught that this is the end of a beautiful love story. After 2 years, 2022, with a simple Happy Birthday Greeting. This two wonderful people, managed to find each other again. This is Fate, God has a plan for everyone. Em, who was a happy-go-lucky person became the mature and responsible person, and Roxane became this loving and gentle person. And this is how their beautiful love story started. They both became each other's confidant. They both trusted each other, and eventually fell in love with each other. And after 2 years into their relationship, the couple has weathered the highs and lows of life and love, and yet they still find comfort and peace in each other. They're each other's home, and now they're getting married.
