The Proposal

On December 6, Gene posted heartwarming photos and videos from Jose’s unforgettable proposal, which took place on December 2 at a dreamy resort. And yes, it had all the elements of a rom-com moment!

Jose went full-on romantic mode, serenading Gene with “Ikaw” by Yeng Constantino, complete with a live guitar and saxophone performance. But it didn’t stop there—he led Gene to a poolside area adorned with flowers, hearts, and a glowing neon sign that read “Will you marry me?”

With emotions running high, Jose knelt down and popped the question: “Will you marry me?”

Gene’s response? A heartfelt and immediate “Yes!” The two sealed the moment with a kiss and a warm embrace.

Sharing the moment online, Gene couldn’t help but express her joy, captioning her post: “The easiest YES I’ve ever said.”
She added, “It’s you. It’s always been you.” Swoon!

The Prenup Shoot

But wait—there’s more! A few days later, Gene and Jose also unveiled their breathtaking pre-wedding photos, and they’re nothing short of picture-perfect.

The couple went all out with two stunning themes:

1. Winter Wonderland in Canada – Imagine snow-filled backdrops, cozy moments, and a touch of fairytale magic.

2. Cultural Heritage in Bataan – They also took the shoot to Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar, featuring historical houses and heritage buildings that gave their photos a timeless, romantic vibe.
