Wedding bells will soon be ringing for Ara Mina and her fiancé Dave Almarinez!
On Tuesday, January 12, events photographer Nice Print Studio shared pictures from Dave’s proposal in San Pedro, Laguna.
“And it’s official! @therealaramina is now engaged!” the studio wrote in the caption of their post. “Congratulations Dave and Ara! Sooooo happy to be part of this beautiful moment #SheSaidYes”
The following day, Ara Mina posted a picture of the emotional moment when Dave went down on one knee as she penned a heartfelt message for him.
“Today I have received the most perfect gift from God. A prayer I have always been sincerely trusting Him to bring into my life. Dave, thank you for being my answered prayer,” she began.
“Thank you for not giving up on me. You are the reason why we have stronger days together. God led us to each other for a greater purpose. Let us both live it with faith and love. Yes, I will marry you!”
“I was totally clueless of what this day would bring. And your surprise made me feel more loved and cherished than I did yesterday. You are all awesome!” she continued before thanking everyone who helped Dave plan the beautiful proposal, namely Nice Print Photography, Gideon Hermosa for styling the City Hall grounds, and Mayor Cataquiz of San Pedro, Laguna.
“And to all my loved ones, thank you for all the engagement wishes and warm congratulations,” she ended.
Dave is currently the Chief Executive Officer of the Philippine International Trading Corporation (PITC), with the rank of undersecretary. He used to be a provincial board member of Laguna.
