High school sweethearts who marry at the school fair, marry in real life.

They were each other’s first love, but they had no idea that a mock marriage at a school fair would lead to a real marriage after many years.

She tweeted a photo of the marriage certificate with the caption:

AC Fair 1989: marriage booth marriage certificate.
Turns out my parents were married even before they got married HAHA.

It was really cute how the mock marriage turned into a real one, especially considering her parents had actually divorced and hadn’t been together for three and a half years.

Bianca told When in Manila that her parents had gone to the same school since elementary school, though it wasn’t until 1985 that they officially met as Grade 7 students.

Bianca stated that her mother attended Assumption College San Lorenzo in San Lorenzo Village, Makati City, while her father attended a different high school, but the two remained friends.

“My dad started having crush on my mom in second year high school, and they became boyfriend and girlfriend in third year high school so that was DeceDecember 17, 1988; so they were already together when they got married at the marriage booth of the AC Fair in 1989! That was my mom’s fourth year na”

However, despite the fact that they were still a couple when they started college, the two eventually split up in their third year.

“My parents split then; they weren’t together for three and a half years. But while they weren’t together, my dad would still call my mom to every birthday and every Christmas just to greet her. Eventually, after they both graduated and were both working already, they met again. That was around July 1994. They got back together and by September, my dad was asking her to marry him every day!”

On December 17, 1995, the couple married – the same day they first became a couple in high school.

They had completely forgotten about the marriage certificate they had received in high school. This was only recently discovered.

In their 22 years of marriage, the couple has three children. It was adorable that they had married at the school fair before marrying in real life many years later.
