The Pamamanhikan.

My bhe went to our house alone to do the pamamanhikan, His mom can’t go with him since she is with her apos (Ate Carmela’s children, sis of my bf). Since we’re both of age, he’s 35 and I’m 29, technically we don’t need a parent’s consent but we have to we’re both only girl and boy in both families ( his side and my side), but we just wanted to do it properly and formally.

I asked him if he was nervous about it, and he said a yep, a bit.

At about 10pm, after rounds of drinks and long talks with my father and my brother in our terrace, my father transferred in our living room, I’m with my mom watching tv, then my bhe texted me that it’s time to ask for permission. Then I went to the terrace and asked him to come in the living room, then we dropped the news, that we wanna get married.

My father excitedly said yes, actually they already knew it’s coming I already informed them before hand, but my mom was so quiet, she didn’t utter any word, but she eventually said it’s fine with her.

So today 29th of August, we are formally engaged.
