Kate and Ino: A Story Meant to Be
Kate and Ino's serendipitous meeting
blossoms into a heartfelt love story, filled with
shared Filipino roots, unforgettable dates, and
a deepening connection that leads to a
meaningful relationship.
Kate and Ino’s love story began on a beautiful September day, when the weather seemed to promise something special. For Kate, the timing couldn’t have been more unexpected—just weeks after returning from a trip to Manila, she was ready to take a step back from dating. But life had other plans. When she crossed paths with Ino, she was intrigued by his wit, his adorable dog Kona, and a shared Filipino connection. Ino, equally captivated by Kate’s charm and humor, quickly realized their connection was something special. Their first date at Jane’s turned into hours of effortless conversation, shared laughter, and an extraordinary coincidence: they had both grown up in the same city in the Philippines, and their families had mutual connections.
From that unforgettable brunch to late nights sharing stories, missed kisses, and adventures with friends, Kate and Ino’s relationship grew naturally and deeply. Despite their busy lives, they made time for each other, building a love filled with laughter, thoughtful gestures, and unwavering support. What started with a quiet September day has now led them here—ready to say I do, surrounded by the people they love most, and excited for a lifetime of adventures together.
Currently:
Ino and Kate now live together on the Upper East Side with Kaleb and Kona, creating a home filled with love, laughter, and shared routines. Every weekend, they make time for date nights—whether it’s enjoying a Broadway show, catching a movie, exploring new restaurants, or seeking out hidden adventures in the city. Their life together is a perfect balance of excitement and comfort, a reflection of their personalities. Ino proposed to Kate in the intimacy of their home—simple, heartfelt, and completely true to who they are as a couple.
