THE FANS. Dahil sa malayong lugar ginanap ang kasal at unang reception nina Juday at Ryan, halos lahat ng kanilang mga tagahanga ay hindi nakapunta at hindi nasaksihan ang mahalagang pangyayaring ito sa buhay ng aktres. May nakausap na ba silang mga fans at ano ang naging pakiramdam nila sa naganap na private wedding nila ni Ryan?
"Actually, yung mga fans, yung mga supporters, nandiyan palagi sa tabi namin ni Ryan. Very, very understanding sila. Napaka-supportive nila sa step na ginawa namin and we really appreciate that.
"May mangilan-ngilang nagtampo, but we said sorry na rin. Hindi naman namin plinano na may magtampo sa amin. I've been really wanting to have... Not naman secret, but a private and solemn wedding. Natutuwa kami dahil even buong pamilya namin, natutuwa. Kahit yung media, very cooperative. Marami sa kanila ang nakaalam na ng talagang date, but they opted not to write it and we're very, very grateful."
Isang maikling mensahe niya for all her fans?
"Sa lahat-lahat po, huwag po sanang magtampo," sabi ni Juday. "Hindi naman po namin ipagdadamot ang pinaka-espesyal na araw sa amin ni Ryan. Makikita po ninyo yun. Naka-document po mula yung araw na nagsisimula kami ng preparation. Isasama po namin kayo sa panibagong pagpasok namin sa buhay namin ngayon.
"Salamat din po sa walang sawang pagsuporta n'yo sa amin. And now na magpa-pamilya na kami, sana nandiyan pa rin po kayong lahat—all the press people, all our friends, our family. We're really hoping and praying na magsasama-sama pa rin tayo. Walang iwanan."
Nakapag-aral ka ba?
Yung pagkaguluhan sila, that the price they have to pay sa pagiging artista. Kung talagang gusto nila ng privacy dapat sa amanpulo sila nagpakasal. I'm sure walang fans na susunod dun kahit reporter d sila susundan.
''It was wonderful to have no press around,'' said a person who attended the ceremony and who spoke on condition of anonymity. ''We were so excited to have fooled everybody.''
Liz McComis, who helped prepare rooms at the small Greyfield Inn before the wedding and washed dishes after the reception, said the relief was tangible once the families concluded that their stealth planning had succeeded. ''It was nice to see them relax once they realized it was going to be O.K. and that they would not be hounded,'' Ms. McComis said.
Situated off the southeast Georgia coast, this 20-mile-long island has no bridge access, no telephone lines, no paved roads and no accommodations other than campsites and a handful of rooms at the Greyfield Inn, an elegant old Carnegie compound where the wedding party stayed and the reception was held.
