In the February 8 episode of the noontime show “Its’ Showtime,” Karylle finally announced her wedding with Yuzon that will take place  next month.

But before making the big announcement, Karylle first thanked the people who helped her “reach the next level” in her life.

“Not a lot of people know, some three and a half years ago, a new chapter in my life started—the happiest and the most exciting one yet,” she started, almost in tears.

“I started as a hurado here in Showtime and became a part of the Showtime family. At kakambal po nito ang dumating si Yael sa buhay ko.”

The Kapamilya singer-actress then narrated how she and Yuzon became a couple.

“It was a sunny afternoon,” she recalled. “Actually guest pa ako dati sa 'Pilipinas Win na Win' and kumain po kami sa Mr. Kebab kasi mahilig po ako sa kanin. And after that we had coffee and ‘yon, sinagot ko siya.”

Being surrounded by her “It’s Showtime” co-hosts, she then enumerated how each of them changed her as a person and her views in life.

“Little by little, my life started to change. Ryan [Bang], he taught me how to be a hurado para hindi ako ma-vote out ng madlang people. I started to dream bigger because of Anne [Curtis]. I learned to share sawsawan because of Vhong.

“I was pushed to give more and share more of myself because of direk Bobet. I learned na si Billy lang ang pinakagame sa malabo kong trip na abangan ang sunrise ‘cause he’s ready to be a friend anytime and anywhere. Teddy showed me how fun it is to have a growing family.

“Juggy showed me that he loves me even though he finds that I’m the weirdest in the ‘Showtime’ group. Jhong taught me to be more attentive and respectful. Colleen taught me that younger people have wisdom and Eric showed me that boys with muscles have big, big hearts.

“DJ M.O.D., my first ever music producer showed me that our dreams from more than ten years ago are finally coming true kahit medyo nadelay. And Vice, Vice helped me to learn how to laugh out loud, hindi yung parang dalagang Pilipina na mahinhin na tumatawa, and of course to dancing QC to talk about anything and to be free.”

The most special person that Karylle thanked that day is Kim Atienza.

“Most importantly, Kuya Kim told me that I’m a good friend but a high maintenance girlfriend. So tuwing inaaway ko si Yael, parang kunsensya si Kuya Kim na naririnig ko and I just keep your words in mind and I try to be a better person.”

Karylle then said that she has been through a lot in life, but then acknowledge that all of those experiences are part of molding her to become a better person.

“I’m a work in progress,” she said. “But I know everything that I’ve been though happened for a reason.”

She then thanked the people who has been there for her saying, “the people, the angels that had come along my way has been scattered there by the Lord and been placed there to bring sunshine.

“Thank you, Lord for all of them. You know who you are. Ang dami pong nagmamahal sa’kin and I don’t know why but I love them all too and I’m very, very grateful for each of you.”

In the end, Karylle made the big announcement: “Thank you all for helping me reach the next level. Next month, we wed and a new chapter begins.”
