OUR STORY

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT We have been together for about 7 years and 8 months, to be exact. It’s been a while but it feels like we have just met each other recently because of the overflowing love and sweetness in our hearts, we didn’t notice the years that had passed by. We have been through a lot of trials in life but thanks to God, we never gave up on each other. We managed to hold on to each other’s promises despite of these circumstances. I can still remember our first meet up on December 31, 2004 during his cousin’s house blessing. I was invited by my niece Julie to accompany her to attend this event and also to meet her new friend Jasper (Noel’s cousin). At first I was hesitant to go out with her because I am not fond of going out as well, but she was able to convince me. So when we were finally there, we were welcomed by Jasper and he introduced us to his family and friends and Noel was also there. The moment I saw him, there was really no extraordinary or special feeling that I felt towards him. He was so gentle; he reached out for my hand and said “hi”. He was quiet though. It appeared to me that he was some kind of a snob but other than that, he looked shy and very reserved. Noel offered his chair to me and served me food and drinks. He was very accommodating. At that very moment, I already knew that Noel likes me. I also had a feeling that he already started to love me on that day. When the party ended, we never had the chance to know more of each other. After a week he called me on my mobile phone and told me that he wants to know me more. He got my number from his cousin, Jasper through my niece Julie. After a few months of conversation and knowing each other, I began to like him as well and eventually fell in love with him. And that’s the beginning of our journey to forever.
