Kylie Padilla and Aljur Abrenica are happy, in love, and parents to two boys, Alas Joaquin and Axl Romeo. But before they got married and started their family, they were just a young couple trying to make things work out. The couple was flooded with a bit of nostalgia and, last night, shared photos from their memorable Japan trip in November 2016.

"Our first trip out of the country together," Aljur wrote on Instagram. "Realized a lot on this trip. I saw our growth individually when it comes to self-love and overcoming past traumas. Our friendship got deeper and became more aware of being grateful for what we have than what we don't. Thank you Mahal for having me as your partner, it's very rare to find someone like you."
Kylie shared the same sentiments and said, "Ditto @ajabrenica. Thank you for growing with me. Aishiteru. Throwback November 2016."
Based on their photos, Kylie and Aljur did fun, touristy things all over Tokyo. But this vacay for them is even more important than we know 'cause they actually got engaged at this time—and it happened in Tokyo DisneySea!
In an interview with PEP.ph in 2017, Kylie detailed how Aljur proposed to her for the first time: "May istatwa kasi dun na Ariel bago ka pumasok sa Disney Sea, yung underwater land na Atlantica. Tapos 'yon, ipinapakita ko sa kanya na, 'Ito si Ariel, favorite ko siya. Dahil sa kanya, gusto ko maging mermaid.' Alam na niya na 'yon. Tapos, habang nagsasalita ako, nakatalikod ako sa kanya, akala ko nakikinig niya, hindi pala. Gusto na niya mag-propose."

When they got back to Manila, the two started living together and Aljur proposed to Kylie for a second and third time—with a "homemade" ring first and then with a diamond engagement ring.
Yup, looks like things turned out perfectly fine for these two. Stay in love, Kylie and Aljur!
