On Wednesday, October 7, Quezon City Councilor Aiko shared a carousel of photos on social media capturing the special moment Onemig proposed to her. The actor surprised her with the marriage proposal as they visited the final resting place of her father, Jimi Melendez.
In the caption of her post, Aiko looked back on their decades-long love story, describing how their relationship came full circle after years of living separate lives.
“29 years.

Imagine waiting 29 years for a love story to finally find its way back home.
Today, I am engaged to the man who has somehow been part of my story for almost three decades [@uno_111]
Our love story was never a straight line. We met, we loved, and then life happened. We went our separate ways and lived the lives we were meant to live. We grew, we learned, we made choices, we faced our own battles, and we became different versions of ourselves.
And maybe that was exactly how our story was supposed to unfold.”
Aiko then explained that their reunion happened at a time when both of them had found peace in their respective lives. She expressed her belief that their relationship had returned at the right moment, when they could choose each other freely.
“Because when Onemig came back into my life, he didn't come back at a time when either of us needed saving. He came back when both our worlds were finally calm, peaceful, and aligned.
This time, there were no circumstances forcing us to make a choice. No pressure. No need to prove anything to anyone.
Just two people who had lived enough, learned enough, and loved enough to finally understand what truly matters.
And that is why I know in my heart that I am marrying this man for the right reasons.
Not because I have to. Not because circumstances tell me to. But because I genuinely, wholeheartedly choose him.”
The councilor also shared what she values most about their relationship at this stage of their lives, emphasizing the peace, friendship, laughter, and comfort they have found in each other.
“At this point in our lives, what matters most is how we feel when we're together the peace, the laughter, the friendship, the comfort, and the quiet certainty that we have found our way back to where we belong.
We no longer live our lives worrying about what other people will say or think. We've reached a place where our happiness doesn't need anyone else's approval.”
Reflecting further on their journey, Aiko suggested that the years they spent apart may have helped them grow individually and prepare for the love they share today. She expressed gratitude for how their paths crossed again after nearly three decades.
“Maybe fate separated us because we still had growing to do. Maybe destiny allowed us to live separate lives so that when our paths crossed again, we would finally recognize the kind of love we were ready for.
Some love stories begin with once upon a time.
Ours began 29 years ago, took a very long detour, and somehow found its way back.
And now, after all these years, I get to marry the one I waited for.
The timing may not have been ours.
But perhaps it was always God's.”
Aiko ended her heartfelt message by confirming that she had accepted Onemig's proposal and expressing her excitement about spending the rest of her life with him.
“29 years later… I said YES.
And this time, we choose each other not because we need to, but simply because we want to spend the rest of our lives together.”
