We met at Auntie Christy’s house. CJ sent me a friendly DM via facebook a week later and we became best of friends. We weren’t each other’s type during that time. I was in a relationship and he was in his playboy era. CJ had to go back to the Philippines to go to school there, we kept in touch but the different time zones made it harder. He would shoot me a message and I’d be sleeping already, vice versa. A year later, he sent me a message saying he’s flying back to Anchorage with his dad and the rest is history!
A week before moving to Vegas, CJ and I planned an intimate dinner with our respective families. We ate, drank and danced. Family gave us advices/goodbye speeches. CJ kept telling me we should also say our thank yous but I declined and told him he can talk instead. He took that opportunity and pop the most awaited question. I remember mentioning to him that I want both of our families to be there when he proposes and he did exactly that!
