Groom - PJ
Paul John aka PJ is the eldest son among 3 children. He spent his childhood and some of his teenage years in Paniqui, Tarlac and received his college education as Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering from Mapúa Institute of Technology, Intramuros.
PJ enjoys mountain hiking. He was a member of AOC (Accenture Ourdoor Club) in his previous company. He's just a simple guy. When you look at him, you will notice that he's a silent type of guy, but when you go along with him, you would say (loko-loko din pla toh - lol). Most of his friends says he's a very studious type of person, always serious with regards to his studies (kaya sobrang strict nyan sa mga kapatid nya - lol). Well, I think he's an intelligent person when it comes to academics, but when it comes to lovelife, he's a type of being a "martyr". When he gets inlove to somebody i assure you that he's very loyal even that girl doesn't like him (ouch!) - And that's PJ.
Bride - Jhen
Jennifer aka "Jhen" is simple, beautiful and strict. She's the Adjutant S-1 of the CAT girls during her highschool days and most of all very jolly when she is with her friends doing crazy antics. A very unsophisticated lady with a kind heart. You will always see her with a smile, she looks like very feminine in a way but once you get to know her more, she is very outgoing and funny.
She's the kind of girl that you can go for, 'cause you won't feel bored when you're with her at all.
Guys are fascinated by her looks, but most of the guys hesitated to court her because of being "suplada". Actually, that's the first impression they always have, but when you start knowing her, you will find that Jhen is super "loka-loka", full of "sense of humor" and a very good problem-listener. She's the type who puts herself in place of others to understand clearly one's feelings, this explains why you can always seek her comfort. But one thing I admire most of her is her dedication to her work. In everything she does, expect that she gives her best.
How we met...
So here comes what you've been waiting for: How did we meet?
For those who think, yes, we met in Mapúa because we're both took up computer engineering. We started getting to know each other during the 3rd year of our college days. Actually, I'm committed at that time to a 6-year old relationship but since we are not meant to each other, we're separated 1 year after our graduation day. Anyways, PJ is one of my good friends who always helps us with our project in programming specifically in compiler. During that time, PJ is attracted to one of my bestfriends "Tania" and guess what!!!!, I'm the one helping him with her. But since my friend needs to migrate in US with her family, PJ doesn't have any chance to pursue his courtship (so sad - lol). But of course, I'm here to comfort him during that time and that's the start of our closeness.
After a year, PJ tried to court me but during that time I choose not to entertain him because of our friendship. So PJ decided to moved on and not to see me for the meantime. After several years, I need to undergo medical operation and PJ is the one who comforted me, and that's the start of our being close to each other again. I think PJ took advantage that closeness to propose with me and because of the effort that he showed during my operation, I decided to give him a chance. Our first date was in Glorietta dated January 20, 2007 and that's the time he got the response of "Yes" from me.
