I got married on leap year! To aforementioned first boyfriend. He proposed Easter Monday last year, just a few months before I was leaving for America to work as a teacher. All the preparations that I have to do in so short a time! I was leaving mid July. Well, whatever I didn't get to finish he had to do. It was a shock...and my unromantic bf proposed over the phone. We had been together for three years.

When I flew back to the Philippines for the wedding, he didn't recognize me at the airport - thought I was my twin sister so he wa a bit hesitant. Until I ran to him and nearly knocked him down. My check-in luggage didn't make it due to a delay in one of my stopovers - Houston to San Francisco (I barely made it to the flight and had to run)

It was a beautiful day and I was so relaxed - my mom-in-law-to-be was stressed out in my place. My hubby-to-be's sister rented a hotel room for us, but my family and I got to stay in it the night before.
