Karel Marquez said, “Yes” to her longtime boyfriend Sean Fariñas’ proposal to her last May 6. Karel shared the precious moment on her Instagram.

Sean proposed to her while they were cruising in Dauin, Negros Oriental. Karel thanked Sean for loving her and her two kids with former husband Armand de Guzman and thanked God for this great blessing.

“Keiley just turned 7, Kyler just turned 6, and you and I have been together for 5. Today, it's safe to say that the only thing better than finally having you as my fiancé is actually the children having you around.

“A person like you proves that love has no boundaries of biology. You chose to love us even if you did not have to. You chose to love me the first time we met, a time when I was at my worst. Look at us now. We are raising the kids well and I cannot thank you enough for being my partner,” she wrote.

Karel also uploaded a photo of her engagement ring and said, “This is an amazing Mother's Day gift. Ganito pala ang pakiramdam. You will know it once it happens to you. My heart is filled with so much love and joy. Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies reading this!”

See a short clip of Karel’s sunset engagement below.

I always imagined that one day I would reach this point - but not in this setting. God made it 100x better than my imagination. God's time is the perfect time. Advance Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's out there as well. ?????? May 6, 2016

At the moment... ?? I don't know where I am going but I believe this is a sunset cruise? ???????? I wish I was properly dressed though. I even forgot my shades. Haha! Biglang hinila nalang ako. Oh, @sean_farinas. ??

Now that I have told my family and friends... I guess I could breathe now (I cried so much during sunset) and I guess we are going to tell this to the universe of course.... ?????? WE GOT ENGAGED TODAY. ???????????????

The rock bottom kinda pain. I was reminded by God that nothing worth having comes easy and He won't give me all the trials if I couldn't handle it - but I did - and I stood stronger than ever. I found my soulmate. We always say that to each other at least once a week when we do or say the same thing at exactly the same time. That's an amazing gift to receive. See, you are not perfect, and so am I, but despite the flaws and mistakes, the love we share is enough to be perfect. If only everyone knew our story. Grabe naman talaga ang balik ni Lord. Sobra sobra. With The Lord's guidance and grace, we can conquer anything. ?? Let the countdown begin! ???????????????????

Karel Marquez said, “Yes” to her longtime boyfriend Sean Fariñas’ proposal to her last May 6. Karel shared the precious moment on her Instagram.

See a short clip of Karel’s sunset engagement below.

I always imagined that one day I would reach this point - but not in this setting. God made it 100x better than my imagination. God's time is the perfect time. Advance Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's out there as well. ?????? May 6, 2016

At the moment... ?? I don't know where I am going but I believe this is a sunset cruise? ???????? I wish I was properly dressed though. I even forgot my shades. Haha! Biglang hinila nalang ako. Oh, @sean_farinas. ??

Now that I have told my family and friends... I guess I could breathe now (I cried so much during sunset) and I guess we are going to tell this to the universe of course.... ?????? WE GOT ENGAGED TODAY. ???????????????

Keiley just turned 7, Kyler just turned 6, and you and I have been together for 5. Today, it's safe to say that the only thing better than finally having you as my fiancé is actually the children having you around. A person like you proves that love has no boundaries of biology. You chose to love us even if you did not have to. You chose to love me the first time we met, a time when I was at my worst. Look at us now. We are raising the kids well and I cannot thank you enough for being my partner. For the past 5 years, I have never felt so safe, loved, and treasured like a rare gem. I have been through so much. The rock bottom kinda pain. I was reminded by God that nothing worth having comes easy and He won't give me all the trials if I couldn't handle it - but I did - and I stood stronger than ever. I found my soulmate. We always say that to each other at least once a week when we do or say the same thing at exactly the same time. That's an amazing gift to receive. See, you are not perfect, and so am I, but despite the flaws and mistakes, the love we share is enough to be perfect. If only everyone knew our story. Grabe naman talaga ang balik ni Lord. Sobra sobra. With The Lord's guidance and grace, we can conquer anything. ?? Let the countdown begin! ???????????????????

See, you are not perfect, and so am I, but despite the flaws and mistakes, the love we share is enough to be perfect. If only everyone knew our story. Grabe naman talaga ang balik ni Lord. Sobra sobra. With The Lord's guidance and grace, we can conquer anything. ?? Let the countdown begin! ???????????????????

I always imagined that one day I would reach this point - but not in this setting. God made it 100x better than my imagination. God's time is the perfect time. Advance Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's out there as well. ?????? May 6, 2016

Keiley just turned 7, Kyler just turned 6, and you and I have been together for 5. Today, it's safe to say that the only thing better than finally having you as my fiancé is actually the children having you around. A person like you proves that love has no boundaries of biology. You chose to love us even if you did not have to. You chose to love me the first time we met, a time when I was at my worst. Look at us now. We are raising the kids well and I cannot thank you enough for being my partner. For the past 5 years, I have never felt so safe, loved, and treasured like a rare gem. I have been through so much. The rock bottom kinda pain. I was reminded by God that nothing worth having comes easy and He won't give me all the trials if I couldn't handle it - but I did - and I stood stronger than ever.

I always imagined that one day I would reach this point - but not in this setting. God made it 100x better than my imagination. God's time is the perfect time. Advance Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's out there as well. ?????? May 6, 2016

At the moment... ?? I don't know where I am going but I believe this is a sunset cruise? ???????? I wish I was properly dressed though. I even forgot my shades. Haha! Biglang hinila nalang ako. Oh, @sean_farinas. ??

Keiley just turned 7, Kyler just turned 6, and you and I have been together for 5. Today, it's safe to say that the only thing better than finally having you as my fiancé is actually the children having you around. A person like you proves that love has no boundaries of biology. You chose to love us even if you did not have to. You chose to love me the first time we met, a time when I was at my worst. Look at us now. We are raising the kids well and I cannot thank you enough for being my partner. For the past 5 years, I have never felt so safe, loved, and treasured like a rare gem. I have been through so much. The rock bottom kinda pain. I was reminded by God that nothing worth having comes easy and He won't give me all the trials if I couldn't handle it - but I did - and I stood stronger than ever. I found my soulmate. We always say that to each other at least once a week when we do or say the same thing at exactly the same time. That's an amazing gift to receive. See, you are not perfect, and so am I, but despite the flaws and mistakes, the love we share is enough to be perfect. If only everyone knew our story. Grabe naman talaga ang balik ni Lord. Sobra sobra. With The Lord's guidance and grace, we can conquer anything. ?? Let the countdown begin! ???????????????????

We are raising the kids well and I cannot thank you enough for being my partner. For the past 5 years, I have never felt so safe, loved, and treasured like a rare gem. I have been through so much. The rock bottom kinda pain. I was reminded by God that nothing worth having comes easy and He won't give me all the trials if I couldn't handle it - but I did - and I stood stronger than ever. I found my soulmate. We always say that to each other at least once a week when we do or say the same thing at exactly the same time. That's an amazing gift to receive. See, you are not perfect, and so am I, but despite the flaws and mistakes, the love we share is enough to be perfect. If only everyone knew our story. Grabe naman talaga ang balik ni Lord. Sobra sobra. With The Lord's guidance and grace, we can conquer anything. ?? Let the countdown begin! ???????????????????

I always imagined that one day I would reach this point - but not in this setting. God made it 100x better than my imagination. God's time is the perfect time. Advance Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's out there as well. ?????? May 6, 2016

I found my soulmate. We always say that to each other at least once a week when we do or say the same thing at exactly the same time. That's an amazing gift to receive. See, you are not perfect, and so am I, but despite the flaws and mistakes, the love we share is enough to be perfect. If only everyone knew our story. Grabe naman talaga ang balik ni Lord. Sobra sobra. With The Lord's guidance and grace, we can conquer anything. ?? Let the countdown begin! ???????????????????

Karel Marquez said, “Yes” to her longtime boyfriend Sean Fariñas’ proposal to her last May 6. Karel shared the precious moment on her Instagram.

I always imagined that one day I would reach this point - but not in this setting. God made it 100x better than my imagination. God's time is the perfect time. Advance Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's out there as well. ?????? May 6, 2016

At the moment... ?? I don't know where I am going but I believe this is a sunset cruise? ???????? I wish I was properly dressed though. I even forgot my shades. Haha! Biglang hinila nalang ako. Oh, @sean_farinas. ??

Keiley just turned 7, Kyler just turned 6, and you and I have been together for 5. Today, it's safe to say that the only thing better than finally having you as my fiancé is actually the children having you around. A person like you proves that love has no boundaries of biology. You chose to love us even if you did not have to. You chose to love me the first time we met, a time when I was at my worst. Look at us now. We are raising the kids well and I cannot thank you enough for being my partner. For the past 5 years, I have never felt so safe, loved, and treasured like a rare gem. I have been through so much. The rock bottom kinda pain. I was reminded by God that nothing worth having comes easy and He won't give me all the trials if I couldn't handle it - but I did - and I stood stronger than ever.

Keiley just turned 7, Kyler just turned 6, and you and I have been together for 5. Today, it's safe to say that the only thing better than finally having you as my fiancé is actually the children having you around. A person like you proves that love has no boundaries of biology. You chose to love us even if you did not have to. You chose to love me the first time we met, a time when I was at my worst. Look at us now. We are raising the kids well and I cannot thank you enough for being my partner. For the past 5 years, I have never felt so safe, loved, and treasured like a rare gem. I have been through so much. The rock bottom kinda pain. I was reminded by God that nothing worth having comes easy and He won't give me all the trials if I couldn't handle it - but I did - and I stood stronger than ever. I found my soulmate. We always say that to each other at least once a week when we do or say the same thing at exactly the same time. That's an amazing gift to receive. See, you are not perfect, and so am I, but despite the flaws and mistakes, the love we share is enough to be perfect. If only everyone knew our story. Grabe naman talaga ang balik ni Lord. Sobra sobra. With The Lord's guidance and grace, we can conquer anything. ?? Let the countdown begin! ???????????????????

See a short clip of Karel’s sunset engagement below.

I always imagined that one day I would reach this point - but not in this setting. God made it 100x better than my imagination. God's time is the perfect time. Advance Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's out there as well. ?????? May 6, 2016

At the moment... ?? I don't know where I am going but I believe this is a sunset cruise? ???????? I wish I was properly dressed though. I even forgot my shades. Haha! Biglang hinila nalang ako. Oh, @sean_farinas. ??","body_html_bottom":"

Now that I have told my family and friends... I guess I could breathe now (I cried so much during sunset) and I guess we are going to tell this to the universe of course.... ?????? WE GOT ENGAGED TODAY. ???????????????
