The Tale of Two Princes | Francis Libiran & Christian Mark Jacob’s Pre-Wedding

You’ve probably read this phrase a few times now, please let me share a bit about the story behind it. Christian had his friend create a charming hand-drawn story book telling the story of how he and Francis met in Paris a couple of years back. The book’s characters are the Tall Prince – Christian, and the Handsome Prince – Francis. It detailed how the Tall Prince missed his flight back home and had to book a later flight and he decided to spend the day in a cafe, and there he laid eyes on the Handsome Prince. It was a serendipitous meeting of two people from opposite sides of the world. As they lived thousands of miles away from each other, they made sure they would go on trips and spend time together as much as they can. They didn’t let the distance get between them.

A year after they met during that wonderful day in that cafe in Paris, they find themselves back in the most romantic city in the world. The Handsome Prince had no idea that the Tall Prince prepared a picnic for them. The book would continue to read “During the picnic, while snuggled on a blanket reading a book together, the Tall Prince got down on one knee as he pulled out a shiny red box with gold trimming. And then…”. that was how Christian proposed.

Love is universal, it encompasses all creatures. We in Metrophoto believe in love and all its forms. Please enjoy our intimate pre-wedding photos with Francis & Christian. Let them be a testament that LOVE ALWAYS WINS.
