Jojo Oconer is a shy guy, Ciara Sotto is Miss Congeniality. She's used to being in the limelight, he shies away from it. She's a star, he prefers working behind the camera.

But fate brought them together.

During their first dance, they are both teary-eyed. They wouldn't have surpassed four years of ups and downs without love, trust, respect, and faith. They're also thankful for the support of their respective families.

Maricel hops over to another group: Pops Fernandez (left), KC Concepcion (second from right), and the big boss of T.A.P.E. and APT Entertainment, Tony Tuviera.

The Diamond Star, by the way, is now being managed by Malou Choa-Fagar, the lady boss of Eat Bulaga!

Pasig City Representative Dodot Jaworski and wife Mikee Cojuangco, also one of the bride's favorite people.

But Ciara's tito Vic is happier, seeing the two women in his life getting along so well.

The single ladies are required to hold a single rose with a ribbon.

Once the bride announces the color of one's ribbon, she's out of the game. The last lady left standing automatically gets the bouquet.

Mich says she wants that bouquet desperately, and so, all the ladies want her to win.

With Pops as her contender, she's declared the winner!

Vic is not exempt from joining the game.

Paolo Ballesteros wins!

Here, he puts the garter on Mich's right leg. Right after, the host-actor hugs the fashion designer.

To add a twist to the game, Paolo and Mich have to mimic the three kinds of "Rated PG" kisses given by Jojo to Ciara. The two gladly oblige.

After the game, the four smile for the camera.

Paolo, by the way, was once linked to the bride. But the two consistently affirmed that they're just good friends.

He tells PEP, "Siyempre, masaya kami...Kung saan masaya si Ciara, alam naman naming pareho silang bagay sa isa't isa kaya sa akin, walang problema. Talagang we can only wish them the best. God bless. Basta malapit sila sa Panginoon, siguradong magiging successful ang kasal nila."  

Vito, Apple's second son, surprises his favorite tita by delivering a tearful message, which earns a hug and tears from Mrs. Oconer.

Skyline Catering Services took care of the food that evening. Its menu is Irish-Breakfast style.
