From strangers to forever
We didn’t meet in the most obvious way…
but somehow, life kept bringing us closer.
Our Story
Every love story begins somewhere.
Ours grew in quiet moments, shared laughter, and spontaneous adventures.
What started as simple days together slowly became a lifetime promise.
On April 24, 2026, we invite you to celebrate the beginning of our forever.
Where It All Started
We first crossed paths in college — in the middle of ordinary days and familiar routines. We were both Education students then, yet living in completely different worlds.
In a park in Los Baños, during a simple get-together with batchmates, our story quietly began. No grand introductions, no memorable first impressions — just two people existing in the same space, unaware of what was ahead.
We didn’t notice each other then.
But somehow, life remembered for us.
From Acquaintances to Something More
We began as acquaintances — familiar faces in shared spaces.
Through small trips, casual hangouts, and online conversations, we slowly became friends. There were no expectations, just simple moments that made us comfortable with each other.
From silent eyebrow greetings in school
to “kamusta” messages online,
something gentle and steady started to grow.
The Moments In Between
Our story grew in the simplest moments — the ones we never planned.
From quick trips and mall dates to quiet conversations and spontaneous adventures, we found joy in each other’s company. One unexpected day at Enchanted Kingdom turned into something more — from a little awkward to something that felt easy and right.
Through the years, even when life got busy, we always found our way back.
And somewhere between the laughter, the long talks, and the shared journeys…
we realized this was more than just friendship.
💍 The Proposal
The Question That Changed Everything
What we have was never rushed — it was built with time, patience, and intention.
When the moment finally came, it wasn’t about grand gestures, but about a love that felt certain and true.
With a simple question, full of meaning—
“Will you marry me?”
came a wholehearted yes.
And just like that,
our forever began. 🤍
Our love isn’t loud or dramatic.
It is steady.
It is intentional.
It is guided.
From strangers in a crowd…
to familiar faces…
to answered prayers…
to forever.
And now, we begin the most beautiful chapter yet.
Two Hearts, One Story
From separate paths to one beautiful journey—this is how our story unfolds.
Maria Leana Buenaobra
We met in college but barely noticed each other.
Through the years, we became friends in the simplest ways — trips, chats, and unexpected time together. One day at Enchanted Kingdom changed everything. I saw how kind and gentle he was.
Life pulled us in different directions, but we always found our way back.
In God’s perfect timing, we chose to try — and it felt right.
He asked.
And I said yes — twice. 🤍
John Michael Platon
We started as strangers in college.
Over time, we became friends through simple moments — mall trips, hangouts, and shared laughter. It was easy, natural, and real.
In 2023, we took a chance on each other and discovered something deeper.
For me, love has always meant forever.
So when the time felt right, I asked her:
“Will you marry me?”
And she said yes. 🤍
Will You Be There?
Your presence means the world to us.
