Several rounds of applause, wishes and congratulations welcomed the newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Linsangan, to the reception hall.
The two met at a mutual friend's party in 1999. No sparks then. Camille found him suplado, while Anthony didn't like to be friends with an artista.
Five years later (2004), they saw each other again—and the rest is a love story.
