Our Story

We first met pre-COVID through our mutual friend Chloe, Micah’s high school bestie and Ryan’s coworker, who thought we might be a good match because we’re both Filipino. Micah wasn’t interested at the time (sorry Ryan) and we went our separate ways.

Fast forward to June 2022. We reconnected at a rooftop bar with Chloe, and what started as a casual night out turned into hours of conversation. Ryan asked for Micah’s Snapchat (lol) and something just clicked.

Our first date was a classic New York day: a walk through The Met followed by drinks at Five Mile Stone. It felt easy and exciting in that way where you just know. We officially started dating on August 24, 2022, and a few months later, Ryan moved in.

Since then, we’ve built a life that feels like home. We love slow Sunday mornings, relaxing together with Rocky and Hope (and Willow too when we're in PA), and always finding a reason to laugh. We’re big on watching our favorite shows like Chicago P.D., Chicago Fire, 9-1-1, and The Rookie. We love trying new recipes, eating really good food (especially sushi at Sugarfish), and finding any excuse to travel. But honestly, some of our favorite memories are just quiet nights in.

Ryan proposed in Napa Valley on our two-year anniversary. It was thoughtful, peaceful, and perfect. Just the two of us in a beautiful place, celebrating everything we’ve built.

We love each other so much. It’s steady, real, and full of joy. We’re best friends who found exactly what we were looking for in each other, and now we get to say yes to forever with all of you there to celebrate with us in Tuscany!
