Den and Earl are getting married

Bacolod City, Negros Occidental
July 2027

Five years , a thousand coffee runs and one question later, we’re getting married.

This isn’t an invitation. It’s good news we couldn’t keep to ourselves, and a small corner of the internet to share it with the people we love.

How we
got here

Four chapters, so far.

Where it started

We met [where you met], on what was supposed to be an ordinary day. One of us talked a lot. The other laughed at the right moments. That was enough for a second conversation.

The ordinary days

Coffee runs, long drives, movie nights where nobody agreed on the movie. Somewhere in the routine, a shared life quietly took shape.

The question

[Where and how the proposal happened.] There were nerves, then happy tears. The answer was never really in doubt.
