WHERE CAN WE STAY?
There are several great Airbnb options near the venue (Villa Milagros) in Rodriguez, Rizal. We recommend searching in nearby areas like San Mateo, Marikina, or even parts of Quezon City for more choices — all within a short drive.
If you're coming from out of town, we suggest booking early since weekends can get busy!

Rodriguez, Rizal (a.k.a. Montalban) is about 30-40 mins from Katipunan, QC. Waze or Google Maps should get you there smoothly — just search for the venue name. Parking will be available on-site.
Shuttle Service
For those who prefer not to drive, you’re welcome to book a shuttle or van service for your own convenience. Let us know if you’d like suggestions or help coordinating!
Carpool is encouraged!
If you're attending with family or friends, we highly recommend carpooling — it’s more fun and budget-friendly :)
By Grab or Ride Apps
Grab and JoyRide might work for the trip to the venue, but pick-ups from Rodriguez in the evening can be tricky. If you're booking a ride-hailing service, try arranging a roundtrip or pre-book your return ride.

US, THROUGH THE YEARS
It started on a slow weekend back in 2016. Alek was gaming with friends while one of them mindlessly scrolled through Facebook. Then a photo flashed on the screen and the room went quiet for him. There she was—the cutest girl he’d ever seen. He memorized her name like a secret, sent a friend request from his account, and did what a guy with zero game but a sincere heart does: he showed up every day. “Hello, cutie pie.” “Have a great day.” “Kumain ka na ba?” Weeks went by with nothing but seen-zones and silence. Then one day—maybe out of boredom, maybe to shut him up, or maybe because she’s kind—Kat replied. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to keep him steady with the good mornings and good nights.
Eventually he asked if they could meet—his friends and hers, neutral ground. Kat and her friends picked a small bar along Taft. Alek’s group arrived first and waited on a small, dim side street, trading jokes to hide his nerves. From a distance he saw them walking toward the corner and was instantly mesmerized. They shook hands, exchanged names, and he tried to play it cool while his heart sprinted. “Tara, inom na tayo!” he grinned, eager to get upstairs and pour a little courage over the jitters. Inside, they found a table, ordered drinks, and the night began to open up—stories, laughter, and that easy feeling that maybe this was something.
At one point, feeling both brave and twelve years old, Alek leaned in and whispered, “Can I hold your hand?” Kat said yes. His palms were embarrassingly sweaty, but he didn’t dare let go. It felt like they’d slipped into their own quiet channel while the rest of the bar kept scrolling by.
Later that night his friends tried to pull him to another club in BGC—“Everyone’s already there!”—but he shook his head. For once, he didn’t want the next place.. He wanted this one, this moment, this girl. When it was time to call it a night, he offered to ride an Uber with her to make sure she got home to her family. They sat in the backseat, still holding hands like kids who’d stolen something precious. Somewhere along the road, confidence (or foolishness) climbed into the car with them. He smiled and said, “I bet you want to kiss me right now.” She laughed—five long seconds of “who does this guy think he is?”—and then she kissed him anyway. That’s when everything clicked. Not fireworks, just a quiet, certain yes.
That was how their story began: a Facebook scroll, a stubborn heart, a small Taft bar, and a hand held under the table. But the suspense was only beginning. Alek ran into a few hurdles: he wasn’t her type (she’d never dated a big bear like him), she didn’t like beards, there was an ex trying to win her back, he lived in Quezon City while she was in Parañaque, her family was protective—and life seemed happy to toss in extra obstacles for good measure. Alek didn’t know how he was going to overcome all these trials—he kept thinking he was a small speck in the universe and she was a shooting star. But what do you do when a shooting star passes by?—You make a wish.
“Please let her be mine.”
They’ve told this story to friends, colleagues, and family so many times, there are now multiple versions. There’s one where she sent the first message. Another when it was love at first sight. Another where in Kat left her then boyfriend for Alek, and a version where she kissed him first (a version Alek swears is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help him God). You could say they’ve created a little multiverse of their love story.
In the grand scheme of that multiverse, a few truths never change. Their beginning really did feel like a fairy tale: she’s the shooting star that makes his wishes come true, and he’s the steady light that makes her feel safe no matter where life takes them. She pushes him to become the best version of himself—better than he imagined he could be—and he inspires her to dream bigger and believe in herself more than she ever thought possible.
In the same breath, she’s the anchor that keeps him grounded, never afraid to stand her ground and hold him to a higher standard, while he’s the calm in her storm, the hand she always knows will be there to hold hers.
And lastly, across the vast architecture of their multiversal love story, there isn’t a branch, a timeline, or a reality where they don’t belong together. She is his, as he is hers—and they love each other with the kind of certainty that defies space and time.
In whatever version of their story is told, they don’t mind how it begins, or how it’s told, as long as in all of them, they end up with each other.
