Mark told his bride, "Ikaw ang nag-ilaw sa buhay ko."

Just before their wedding march, the 35-year-old drummer of Rivermaya whispered, "Thank you, Lord," and tears of joy ran down his cheeks.

Jolens (her nickname) wore a gown she designed herself and made by Larry Espinoza.

Yup, she had wings!

And Mark wore sneakers.

The groom arrived early at the venue.

"Excited!" he said when asked about how he felt.

Minutes before the ceremony, he was "hindi mapakali."

Mark's dad—Commissioner Eduardo Escueta, a vice chairman of the National Police Commission—liked the "door with no walls" concept.

During his brief speech at the reception, he said, "It's about time we looked at doors rather than walls."

Marriage should have no obstacles.

He advised his son to follow the Police's "Serve and protect" motto, while his daughter-in-law should "obey" her husband.

Beside the door was a sign that read: "Happily Ever After Begins Here."

The two became a couple in 2009.

But Jolina said that even before she actually met Mark, she knew that he was "The One."

She related, "Nung high school ako, pag nakikita ko ang Rivermaya, tumatagos ang tingin ko sa drummer."

The bride's parents: Mr. Jun Magdangal and wife Paulita.

The father described his daughter as "hindi siya mahirap alagaan at napakakulit."

In his speech during the reception, he also said, "Sana makakuha na si Jolina ng taong makapagpapasaya sa kanya. Naku, God smiles on us."

Here comes the bride...

"Moon River" played the minute she alighted from the cart.

Before entering the door, she read Mark's note from the mailbox.

She smiled...then cried.

The two exchanged impromptu wedding vows.

This line from Mark had people in tears: "Mamahalin kita habang buhay at araw-araw..."

"Madahon" was how Jolina initially described her dream wedding.

She added another adjective while reciting her vows, "Mahangin," which earned chuckles from the crowd.

The venue has 152 hectares of sprawling green hills and an infinite horizon meeting the big blue sky.

Gibo Teodoro, whom the couple fondly referred to as "Kuya," was one of the ninongs.

Aside from being Jolens' manager, Perry Lansigan is also her ninong at the wedding.

He related, "Lahat ng ito, sila nag-asikaso. Lahat! Ang ginawa ko ay nagpadala ng invitations."

The wedding showed a great deal of the couple's personality.

These drums, an idea of the groom, were displayed at the picnic-style reception.

The 32-year-old Kapuso star was a picture of happiness.

"Nagkaroon ako ng boyfriend. At higit sa lahat, nagkaroon ako ng best friend. Yun ang pinaka-importante."

The wedding special will be aired by GMA-7 on December 4 via Sunday Night Box Office.
