Sa mga celebrity couple na ikinasal noong nakaraang taon, isang pareha ang napapabalita nang on the rocks ang pagsasama.
Guess who?
Well, among these couples na ikinasal, pinakauna sina Saab Magalona, daughter of the late king of pop, Francis Magalona, and sister to two Kapamilya talents, Maxene and Elmo Malagalona, at Jim Bacarro, na isang musician.
Sa St. Ignatius Church in Baguio City ginanap ang kanilang engrandeng kasal.
February 14 both nang ikinasal sina Yeng Constantino at Cesca Litton, si Yeng kay Yan Asuncion, soloist of the alternative band, Indios. Sa Hacienda Isabela in Cavite, na pag-aari ng singer na si Kuh Ledesma sila ikinasal.
Sina Cesca naman at ng ngayo’y kanya nang asawang si Tyke Kalaw ay sa Panglao Island ikinasal. February 15 naman ang piniling date ng pagpapakasal nina Senator Chiz Escudero at Heart Evangelista. The date of their wedding was the day after Heart, who was born February 14, turned a year older. Their pagpapakasal was held in Balesin Island, Quezon Province.
Since wala both ang parents ni Heart sa araw ng kanilang kasal, balitang magpapakasal silang muli on Ferbruary 15 din this year. Probably daw in Sorsogon, Senator Chiz’ hometown in Bicol, where tiyak makakadalo na ang parents ni Heart.
March 21 naman nang ikinasal si Patrick Garcia sa ina ng kanyang love child na si Chelsea, si Nikka Martinez. Idinaos ang kanilang kasal sa Blue Lea Pavilion sa Macapagal Avenue, Pasay City. Present was actress Jennylyn Mercado with whom Patrick also has a love child, six-year old Alex Jazz.
Jennylyn chaperoned her son, who was the ring bearer sa kasal ng kanyang amang si Patrick at madrastang si Nikka.
March din nang ikinasal si Gab Valenciano, son nina Gary Valenciano at Angeli Pangilinan, at Trishia Centenera, isang Filipino-Austalian.
Actually, ikinasal uli ang dalawa, since aside from their first March 27 wedding, ikinasal uli sa Discovery Shores ng Boracay on March 31 naman.
May 10 naman nang ikinasal si Diana Zubiri sa kanyang Australian model-boyfriend, si Andrew Smith. Ginanap naman ang kanilang kasal sa Sampaguita Gardens sa Valencia Street, Quezon City. May din last year nang ikasal sina John Prats at Isabel Oli, who are expecting their first child anytime soon now.
Since babae ang kanilang magiging panganay, papangalanan daw ito ng mag-asawa ng Feathers. May din nang ikinasal sina Sitti (Navarro, yes, the singer) kay Joey Ramirez, na walang kinalaman sa showbiz. Sa Baguio Country Club idinaos ang kanilang kasal.
Considered the grandest wedding of the year was the Toni Gonzaga-Direk Paul Soriano nuptial, na ginanap sa Methodist Church in Taytay, Rizal. June 12 ginanap ang kanilang wedding, where among the sponsors were Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada, boxing champ Manny Pacquiao, and Senator Bongbong Marcos.
Other pairs na ikinasal were Elvis Gutierrez, son of Eddie Gutierrez and Annabelle Rama, and Alexa Uichico, who were wed naman June 26 at the Sanctuario de San Antonio in Forbes Park.
July 12 naman nang ikinasal ang nag-iisang anak nina Nora Aunor at Christopher de Leon, si Ian, kay Jennifer Orcine. Wala, though si Nora sa kasal ni Ian na ginanap sa iang private Clubhouse in Quezon City.
Nikki Gil naman wed her fellow Atenean and now a businessman, BJ Albert last November.
The year was capped by the surprise wedding of band soloist (of the Callalily), Kean Cipriano and Chynna Ortaleza.
The two belong to different networks: Kapamilya si Kean, samantalang isang Kapuso naman si Chynna.
So ayan meron na kayong pagpipilian kung sino sa kanila ang nanganganib nang maghiwalay.
Personal…
