00:00 I just had the right time to share it.
00:02 And I think this is it.
00:04 With my Preview of Family.
00:28 I've been through a lot in relationships, in life.
00:32 Suddenly, everything is so smooth.
00:36 When it comes to relationships,
00:38 when it comes to my relationship with my family,
00:42 the preparations for our wedding,
00:44 how I matured in a relationship,
00:48 it's all up to him.
00:50 It's true.
00:51 When you found the right partner,
00:54 you will change in a good way.
01:00 Our proposal happened last April 16, 2022.
01:05 I didn't know anything because my house and sister-in-law,
01:09 Ate Yanni,
01:10 usually there's a party there.
01:12 There's always a big event.
01:14 And every time we go home to Puerto Princesa,
01:18 they have a photoshoot,
01:20 a family pictorial.
01:23 So, I'm used to that.
01:25 When that day happens,
01:28 there's a party, there's a pictorial.
01:32 For me, it's like nothing.
01:35 It's a usual day.
01:37 That's what happens in Palawan.
01:39 And then, we advanced the Easter egg hunting.
01:43 Because the following day,
01:45 all our relatives will go home.
01:47 From going home to the US,
01:50 going to Cebu.
01:52 So, we advanced it.
01:55 There's always an Easter egg hunt for the kids.
01:59 And I'm always the team leader.
02:01 If someone wins, there's a prize.
02:04 The winner needs to choose a king.
02:06 Who will I choose as the king?
02:08 If not my king,
02:09 I chose Rabo.
02:11 And that's the prize.
02:12 That's it.
02:13 I was so nervous.
02:15 I didn't hear William Merrimy because I already punched him.
02:18 But the good thing is,
02:20 at least I said yes.
02:22 I said yes.
02:23 I said yes to forever.
02:25 I really dreamed of going to Egypt.
02:27 And then, we were a bit late because of my schedule and his schedule.
02:33 Of course, we needed to budget and all.
02:36 My manager, Ms. Miki, only gave us three days.
02:40 We could have four days.
02:41 So, we needed to plan.
02:43 Is it worth it?
02:45 One day, I went home.
02:48 I talked to Rabo.
02:50 He said, "Let's do it, love.
02:53 Because it's your dream. Let's do it."
02:56 Because you really want to go there.
02:58 It will be more memorable for you and us.
03:03 Because we had two pre-nup shoots.
03:05 We stayed in Egypt for almost two days or two and a half days.
03:10 Something like that.
03:12 Or almost three days.
03:13 Or all of our trips were included.
03:16 Imagine, when we arrived in Cairo,
03:20 we just took a bath.
03:22 We had a quick lunch, a bath, and then, we put on makeup.
03:26 Then, we had a shoot.
03:28 The shoot was quick.
03:30 We went to places.
03:31 As in, we didn't rest.
03:32 We didn't have time to enjoy.
03:36 But we had so much fun.
03:39 Especially, our team.
03:41 They were all so game.
03:43 They were all like artists.
03:45 They were like, "Let's do this, guys.
03:47 Because it's your dream.
03:48 You want this.
03:49 This is for you two."
03:50 So, we were very happy that our shoot came out well.
03:56 This is it.
03:57 Last Feb 14, 2023,
04:02 there were some cheesemaks and all about our civil wedding.
04:07 There were a lot of write-ups about Maha Salvador and her fiancé having a civil wedding.
04:16 But we were very quiet.
04:21 We didn't say anything fake.
04:23 We didn't do anything like that.
04:24 Every time we were asked, we said,
04:27 "We celebrated our anniversary because it's our fourth anniversary."
04:32 But, high preview, yes.
04:36 Last Feb 14, 2023,
04:38 we had our civil wedding.
04:41 We had to do that because our big wedding is a destination wedding.
04:50 The Philippines won't honor us if we get married there.
04:54 So, we had to have a civil wedding.
04:57 When we chose the date,
04:58 of course, we chose our anniversary date
05:01 because that's the one that the contract says.
05:03 You can't go back on that.
05:06 I'm sorry if we didn't confess that time.
05:10 But, thank you for understanding
05:13 because it's been months.
05:16 We didn't want to hide it,
05:18 but we had the right time to share it.
05:21 I think this is it.
05:22 With my preview of family.
05:24 When we researched,
05:26 one of the most said,
05:29 cheap destination wedding is Bali.
05:33 But, aside from that,
05:35 Bali is my favorite place.
05:38 We went back and forth to Bali several times
05:41 until we decided that we love Bali.
05:44 Why don't we do a big wedding in Bali, Indonesia?
05:48 Guest list.
05:50 Maybe the video won't be long enough.
05:53 But, it's just intimate.
05:55 Maybe 100.
05:56 Intimate, 100.
05:57 But, that's what they say.
06:00 Sometimes, it gets bigger and bigger
06:02 and you don't notice it.
06:03 So, for now,
06:05 we have almost 200 guests.
06:08 My best friend, Miss Ka, is there.
06:11 She's a part of the Bautista entourage.
06:16 My friends are there since high school.
06:21 You might have seen John Lloyd,
06:24 my man of honor.
06:25 Maybe, if you're one of our supporters,
06:31 you know why he's my man of honor.
06:34 And then, Aunt Lucy and Richard Gomez are there.
06:38 Uncle Richard became Rambo's father figure
06:43 because they're super close with Aunt Marilene.
06:48 The wedding theme is,
06:50 I'm a priest but I'm also a feng shui master.
06:53 Rambo and I have a green color.
06:57 The entourage is green.
06:59 And then, the guests are earth tone colors.
07:03 And then, the guests are wearing
07:06 garden resort formal attire.
07:10 How can I describe it?
07:11 It's just relaxed.
07:14 Actually, this wedding dress is super secret.
07:17 Even my manager, Miss Mix, doesn't know.
07:20 How can I describe it?
07:23 It's timeless.
07:24 If you see this,
07:26 even if it's a Gen Z, Millennial,
07:29 or even the next generation,
07:32 it's still possible.
07:34 I can pass it on to my grandchild.
07:38 Grandchild!
07:39 When I saw the dress,
07:41 it was true.
07:42 You'll really cry.
07:43 That's when I said, "This is it."
07:46 I always tell my glam team,
07:48 every time there's an event,
07:50 or a show,
07:52 or whatever,
07:53 they'll ask me, "What look do you want?"
07:56 I'm joking, I don't know.
07:58 That's why I brought you here.
08:01 You know it better.
08:02 I have makeup on, I'm fixing my hair.
08:04 But the trend now,
08:08 they know it better.
08:10 With Miss Denise Ochoa and JV,
08:13 they know that
08:14 if you want a simple look,
08:18 not heavy makeup,
08:20 with more glow,
08:22 to enhance my beautiful eyes,
08:26 to cover my eye bags.
08:29 I trusted them.
08:31 I trusted my team.
08:34 So after our big day,
08:36 from Bali,
08:37 we went straight to our
08:39 honeymoon.
08:42 Where else?
08:44 In Paris!
08:47 Ever since,
08:50 Paris is a place
08:52 for lovers.
08:54 Lovers in Paris.
08:56 I experienced Paris once.
09:00 We had a show there.
09:03 I never had a chance to go there.
09:06 I was the only one there.
09:09 I was there.
09:10 I was the only one.
09:11 That's why I was lucky.
09:13 In fairness,
09:14 weddings are for women.
09:16 My husband,
09:17 you know we're civilized.
09:20 But,
09:21 I'll say it again,
09:23 even if we're civilized,
09:24 we still act like we're a couple,
09:26 like boyfriend and girlfriend.
09:28 Because we want
09:30 to feel the magic
09:32 of our big day.
09:35 So,
09:36 we went to Paris,
09:38 and we'll go around Italy.
09:40 How we'll go around?
09:42 I'll share it with Kath.
09:44 So, read the article
09:47 on my cover of Preview.
09:50 And that's it.
09:51 Those are my 10 things
09:52 about my wedding.
09:54 Shh!
09:55 It's just a secret.
