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.

Veering away from the traditional throwing of the bouquet,
Camille threw 12 roses, and the one with the silver ribbon would be the
lucky girl, who turned out to be...

...Angelica Panganiban! She said "Ayoko!" to the bride but in the spirit of fun she did accept the special rose.

Bryan Revilla was the lucky guy!
He said it was already his third time as a garter guy. Does this mean wedding bells will ring for him soon?

"Higher, higher..." everyone screamed. But so as not to upset Angelica, Bryan chose to act the gentleman.
