Nakausap ng Startalk last Wednesday, November 25 sa airport ang magkasintahang Ogie Alcasid at Regine Velasquez. Kababalik nila mula sa Australia, kunsaan ay dumalo sila ng wedding ng dating asawa ni Ogie na si Michelle van Eimeren kay Mark Murrow noong November 21.
Ayon kay Regine, "It was beautiful. It was beautiful. Everybody was, all of us were very happy for the newlyweds."
Tumanggi namang magbigay ng detalye ang dalawa hinggil sa naturang kasalan.
"Siguro it would be better not to talk na lang tutal tapos na naman... besides that we don't really know where the exact location is, I'm not from there," pahayag na lang ni Regine. "The important thing is we witnessed such a beautiful wedding, yung union ng two people who really, really love each other. It was really good, it was wonderful."
Pero kinumpirma niya na siya nga ang naging wedding singer at si Ogie naman ang nag-host ng reception.
Pabirong sinabi ni Ogie, "Siyempre, bilang host, iilan lang naman ang mga Filipino na naroroon. Mga kapatid ko. Siyempre, medyo na-challenge rin ako sa kaka-English."
DAUGHTERS' MAJOR ROLE IN WEDDING. Tungkol sa kanyang dating misis, "I've never seen her this happy, fulfilled at hindi mo ma-describe ang feelings."
Ang mga anak nilang sina Leila and Sarah ang nag-give away sa mommy nila.
"I'm very proud of my daughters. I'm very, very proud of them," sabi ni Ogie. "Siyempre, gusto mo naman na ang mga anak mo, secure sa magiging asawa ng kanilang nanay. At si Mark ay talagang katangi-tangi at mahusay na lalaki."
Ayon kay Regine, malapit daw sa isa't isa sina Ogie at Mark.
"Whenever we are there, Mark and Ogie are very, very close. As a matter of fact, may joke na nga kami ni Michelle na baka they are having an affair. Pero, no, gano'n talaga sila ka-close.
"Kaya sa mga bata, alam nila na dalawa na ang tatay nila. For me, ha, ganoon ang feelings ko. Although, kapag nandun si Ogie, hinahayaan ni Mark na maging tatay siya. 'Saka makikita mo naman, he really takes care of them. He takes care of Michelle so, di ba, he's such a great man."
Matagal nang alam ni Regine ang mga wedding plans ni Michelle.
"Even before the wedding, we've been talking about it. Ipinakita niya sa akin kung ano ang gusto niya. So, we talked and whenever we go there, that's what we do, we talk a lot.
"Except itong pagpunta namin, she's a little bit busy, so I tried to help whenever I can. Washing dishes or trying to help her out with her makeup. Kasi, you know, siya lang talaga. Wala namang mga wedding coordinator, siya lang yun and a few friends. Very, very close friends. Talagang pinaghirapan nila ang wedding."
