Let's look back at the time when Anne celebrated her 18th birthday four years ago.

Anne's 18 treasures included a diamond ring from her mom, a Barbie doll in a gown similar to what Anne herself was wearing, an audio visual greeting from commercial model Greg Turvey (who was one of three guys linked to Anne then), and a religious pendant from Dina Bonnevie. The pendant was a childhood memento from Dina's son Oyo Sotto.
Though unavoidably nervous, Anne remained poised throughout the three-hour hair and make-up preparations. Daddy James, seeing his daughter all dressed and dolled up, was moved to exclaim: "Beautiful!"

Oyo exuded his father Vic Sotto's charm. Here, with a gentlemanly bow, Oyo hands Anne her 18th rose. Still looking very much like a couple, the two would later waltz to "When I See You Smile." Anne says of Oyo: "He's still very special. That's why he's my 18th rose."
Patrick Garcia waltzed with Anne as the orchestra played "You Are So Beautiful." The debut souvenir was a CD compilation of the songs that Anne danced to with her handsome escorts.
