He saved her from abductors, but stole her heart after!

couple_artjacky.jpgThis couple tied the knot early last March. Though the bride was feeling under the weather during her big day, it was funny to see her gesturing to her groom to only kiss her on the cheek. Their true-to-life love story, which sounds like a movie plot more than anything, is one of the most amazing we’ve ever heard in a long time. Here’s how John Mateos Ong, their wedding photographer, summarized their love story….

In 2002, Jacky Tiu, a daughter of a rich family from La Union, was abducted by kidnap-for-ransom gang. Five days later, then PNP chief, Gen. Arturo Lumibao came to her rescue. The family thought of leaving the country for good but Art vowed to protect them. A few years later, Art lost the wife he dearly loved to Cancer. That was when God gave a twist to the love story of these two… they became close and finally decided to tie the knot. I’ll forever remember the story on how Art proposed. It was through a text. Art sent “I love you” and her reply was “missent.” So he decided to put her name on it. Her reply? “Good night!”
