Margarita Demetria "Mai-Mai" Cojuangco, fourth daughter of former Tarlac Congressman Jose "Peping" Cojuangco and former Tarlac Governor Margarita "Tingting" Cojuangco, met Italian businessman Andrea Zini through Gift Gate owner Virgie Ramos.
Virgie and Andrea, whose family is the licensee of Benetton bags and accessories, had been doing business for 12 years. After she introduced him to Mai-Mai in 1995, Andrea confessed: "That's the girl I want to marry."
Nearly nine years later, the 26-year-old Mai-Mai and the 36-year-old Andrea said their "I do's" in the splendor of Italy.
