Our Love Story
Nikko and Sasha were college schoolmates in Letran Manila, but never had a chance to cross paths. Until one evening, while scrolling through his Facebook feed, Nikko stumbled & caught his eye upon seeing Sasha’s Facebook account. Intrigued, Nikko sent a friend request, and to his delight, Sasha accepted. The two found themselves chatting daily and despite living in different countries, their virtual connection became a source of comfort and joy for both. Late-night chats turned into early-morning conversations, as they found solace in each other’s virtual presence. With persistence to know more & pursue Sasha, in January 2018, Nikko flew over from Guam, USA to the Philippines and they first met each other. Nikko did prove his mettle, his sincerity shone the brightest, gradually winning the hearts of Sasha’s family - and most importantly, Sasha herself. Together they pursue their dreams and careers in Canada & from then on, they became inseparable. For six years into their relationship, the couple has weathered the highs and lows of life and love, and yet they still find comfort, happiness, and peace in each other. Now they are into their new chapter of their lives and they will live together very happily for ever after…
