MANILA, Philippines – Bea Alonzo admitted Thursday that the recent weddings of Hollywood stars such as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in France and George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin in Italy have made her ponder about her own future wedding. 

The ABS-CBN actress, however, said tying the knot with boyfriend Zanjoe Marudo is not yet in the horizon.

“Di ba, bilang babae meron tayong, 'Kung ako kaya?' But hindi naman parang seryoso. Yung mga ganun lang, ang sarap pag-isipan. Pero matagal pa yun (wedding),” Bea told reporters during the press conference for the finale week of her soap opera “Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon” on Thursday.

Local showbiz too is currently in a wedding and engagement frenzy, with several celebrities getting engaged this year—among them Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes, Heart Evangelista and Sen. Francis Escudero, and most recently, John Prats and Isabel Oli.

This, however, does not pressure Bea into joining the bandwagon. “Hayaan muna natin sila. Ibigay muna natin sa kanila yung moment,” she quipped.

The 26-year-old actress said she and Zanjoe have not talked about when they will get married. However, she added that the ABS-CBN actor is open about wanting to settle down with her.

She also said they have good relations with each other's families.

In a previous TV interview, Zanjoe's family said they approve of Bea for the actor. 

“Siyempre masaya ako na gusto nila ako maging kapamilya nila. Pero hindi pa kami ready,” Bea said. “Pero sobrang close ako sa family niya, close siya sa family ko.”

She added: “Happy ako kasi, siyempre, wala na akong ibang hihilingin na makatuluyan kundi siya (Zanjoe).”

This does not stop Bea from thinking about her dream wedding—although she admits being “fickle-minded” about it.

“Naku, marami,” she said when asked about her dream wedding. “Minsan fickle-minded ako pagdating d'yan—minsan beach, minsan cliff, minsan garden, minsan lake, minsan church. Iba-iba yung nasa utak ko so I really don't know at this point.”

Bea currently stars in the ABS-CBN primetime soap opera “Sana Bukas Pa Ang Kahapon,” which will end on Friday, October 10.

She's proud to have done the project, which saw her, at one point, playing characters Emmanuelle and Rose. Bea sees her role in the soap opera as an “acting piece.”

Bea revealed she is slated to do a movie with Richard Gomez and Dawn Zulueta before the end of the year.
