On Essa Santos Instagram posts, “Kung kelan naka pambahay lang… I ugly-cried the whole time. Have to say I did not expect this proposal at all —I kinda wish I did para mas prepared ako, but it makes for a great story anyway! It was always gonna be an “of course”, my love.. thank you for this wonderful-amazing experience. I am truly the luckiest girl! I love you in all ways, always.”
