2014 has been a very eventful year for Super Selfie creator and star Gab Valenciano – following a brief unaired stint on America's Got Talent, he worked with Lil Jon and collaborated with Beyonce on her "7/11" video – plus, he got engaged to girlfriend Tricia Centenera.
"She said yes," he wrote as a caption for the photo above.

The month of May saw two special moments. Parokya ni Edgar frontman Chito Miranda proposed to girlfriend, actress Neri Naig, which was recorded on video. Seven months after the proposal, the two had two weddings – a civil ceremony and the wedding proper in Tagaytay last December 13 and 14. Their union signified their love for each other, following a sex video scandal that tested the couple in 2013.

AUGUST

August saw two couples – Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera and Heart Evangelista and Sen. Francis "Chiz" Escudero making headlines. On her birthday special, Dingdong knelt before Marian and asked for her hand in marriage.
The proposal on national television was not the first as Dingdong already proposed to Marian in 2012 at the Butterfly Dome in Macau. In what's being billed as the "Royal Wedding," the two will tie the knot on December 30.
Heart and Chiz's love story features twists and turns worthy of a telenovela. Heart found herself fighting for Chiz against her parents in 2013, when they went on national television to declare they were against the relationship.
Although Chiz has long being rumored to ask Heart's hand in marriage in Paris, it was in his province of Sorsogon where the romantic proposal took place, witnessed by their friends, family, and Chiz's twins from a previous marriage.

Following their engagement, controversy continued to hound them, when it was reported that a couple's wedding was bumped off in Balesin Island on February 14, Heart's birthday to give way to them. The couple, sportscaster Cesca Litton and fiancé Tyke Kalaw claimed that they already had reservations made, when they were told that February 14 was being reserved. Chiz and Heart later clarified the issue and has since made the announcement that their wedding will be held on February 15.
