"She made life easier for me."

That's how 34-year-old actor Dominic Ochoa described his former girlfriend, celebrity makeup artist Denise Go, whom he married last December 22. 

Aside from making him special, Dominic added, "Alam mo, natutuwa ako kasi pareho kaming God-fearing.  Kahit God-fearing kami, nag-aaway pa rin kami, di ba?  Hindi kami perpektong tao nga.  So, we fight pero because nasa gitna nga ang Diyos sa amin, we try to work things out."

This could be one of the reasons the former bachelor actor decided to settle down with his girlfriend of four years.  Dominic said that he has found the right person to spend the rest of his life with.

He further said, "Besides the age, that's part of it, pero parang I think it's about time.  I've saved enough money for this day.  And I think I've found the right person for me.  She's not the perfect person pero ang akin, ang laki ng bagay na nagbago.  Hindi naman binabago pero parang mayroon akong... It's hard to explain pero parang there's something in me na nakita kong I have to change for the better, if not for her, for me."

Dominic has always been very vocal about his plan to marry Denise.  During his last interview with PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal), he was all set, "I'm pretty much decided about it na."  He wanted a civil wedding to first before the church wedding.

True to his word, the former Whattamen member tied the knot with his non-showbiz girlfriend through a civil rite in Makati City.  It was a very private wedding, with only their close friends and relatives around.

This is also how Dominic wants their church wedding sometime this year. 

"I want it very simple," he said.  "I want it as simple as the civil wedding.  But I've always wanted a celebration sa reception ko.

"Maybe just a breakfast wedding, then, sa susunod na linggo... 'Yong breakfast ko kasi, gusto ko kasama ang mga grupo ko—may mga nagmomotor, may mga kotse, mga club na I wanted to join me to a parade going to the church.  I have a Range Rover Club, I have a Mini Cooper Club, I have a Volkswagen Car Club, I want them to join me to the altar.  'Tapos maybe on the way back, we'll drive a top-down, a convertible car, going home.

"I want it covered, coverage namin, I'll get someone to document it para the next week, sa reception, I want all to come up there.  Because celebration is more on the after party.  Parang may pagkain but I want it very casual.  'Tapos kahit sinong kilala ko at kahit sinong kilala niya [puwedeng pumunta]. 

"Ang hirap kasi ng pagkatapos niyo ng wedding, ‘Bakit hindi n'yo ako inimbita?'  Wala, lahat kayo imbitado, 'yon lang 'yon.  Good luck sa akin nito!" laughs Dominic.
