Our Love Story
 Richie and Princess met at a very young age. She was tending their family business at 10 yrs old while he was a customer at 12 yrs old. Funny how the world works, who would have thought that these two people would be husband and wife after 17 years.

 First date was at Zark's SM Fairview. I remembered I had to travel 4 hours just to reach her, I rode the bus from Cavite. We were both shy and didn't talk much, but it was special for us because it was the beginning of our many dates.

 Normally when Richie would finish his contract from the ship, we would go travel to different places and explore, but one time he came home too early and didnt finish his contract. He asked me to go to Manila to dine out and explore. We went to Vikings for buffet and surprisingly he proposed to me. He said he was planning to proposed later that night when we were finally at the rooftop restaurant of a hotel where the view was more romantic, but he said the timing and the feeling felt right at Vikings which I also totally agree.

 I would say our greatest milestone would be today, that we are still together and will be married. Long distance relationship is not for everyone and for 6 years we endured the distance together which shows that our love is strong and conquers all.
