Ben&Ben percussionist Andrew de Pano is engaged!
“May ikakasal na sa Ben&Ben,” the nine-member indie-folk pop band wrote as they shared that percussionist Andrew de Pano has proposed to his girlfriend Erika Cruz.
On Saturday, the band shared a photo of Andrew's successful proposal to Erika on Facebook.
They added, “Let's congratulate our bandmate Andrew, for a beautiful proposal to Erika, his love. Have a lovely life together!”
On his personal Instagram account, Andrew described Erika as the partner who has “loved him through all my best and worst moments.”
He said, “Unconditional love is when your partner sees you do the weirdest, most awkward, most annoying and random things, and still chooses to give you head rubs and back scratches.
“@erikarella has loved me through all my best and worst moments, and so have I decided to do everything I can to support her to be her best and achieve all her dreams.
“Love is trust, and we've chosen to entrust all our hopes, dreams, fears, secrets, and whole lives with each other.
“Here's to the lifetime waiting for us up ahead. I love you, my best friend and partner, Erika. Thank you for assuring me that it is okay to hope in good, even in the midst of the pandemic.”
Meanwhile, Erika mentioned that saying the word “yes” to Andrew was “easy.”
She added, “Thank you for the 6 years of journeying together. Here's to moving forward and creating new memories. Love you always, @andrewdepano!
“Thank you to the Ben fam for all their help and preparation for this proposal. Love you all so much!”
Congratulations on finding your lifetime, Andrew and Erika!
