Ciara Sotto can't find the right words to describe how she  feels as Mrs. Jojo Oconer: "Hindi ko alam, e... It's a feeling that you can't explain. When I met him in the States na parang, I feel so special to him right now, all of a sudden...Tulad nga ng sabi ni Direk Mike, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Akala ko after nun wala na, nakakagulat din pala na pag-uwi ko, talaga palang yun ang plinano ng Diyos para sa akin."   On his part, Jojo tells PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal): "Ako naman, early on in our relationship, I felt that I wanted to end up with her. Ngayong January 17 kami kinasal and March 20 ako nag-propose, it was just a matter of timing...But in terms of who I wanted to end up with, I knew it was her early on."

Tito Sen, nickname of the bride's dad, says he's also going to speak on behalf of his wife, who's been crying that day. "Baka himatayin na," explains the Eat Bulaga!  host.

Ciara brims with more thanks for the presence and support of the guests. "I'm very happy, I'm overwhelmed. I can't believe it's happening..." she exclaims repeatedly.

Jojo's mom, Ms. Cecilia Oconer, welcomes Ciara to their family.

As for Joe, he admits being in a "culture shock" because his family is just half of Ciara's clan. Nevertheless, he's very grateful for the warm welcome, and thanks the Gamboa and Sotto families.

He adds, "Kaniana I was listening to Ciara thanking almost everybody, but actually, I should thank her because she was the one who really thought about the whole wedding, who planned and organized everything..."

Ciara's response: "Thank you for giving me my dream wedding."

    Congratulations! I don't like Ciara as a showbiz star-wannabe but it is obvious she's a good daughter and sana a good wife.
