JIMMY BONDOC-ISABEL TORRIJOS WEDDING
In a 30-minute Facebook livestream just hours before the wedding, Jimmy expressed his excitement about getting married.
He had been saving for his wedding for at least a decade, even before meeting his future wife.
Jimmy also revealed that they chose the Manila Hotel for their reception because it holds a special place in their hearts—it was where their love story blossomed.
He said, "Itong Manila Hotel is very important to us, kaming magiging mag-asawa, kasi nung naisipan naming ikasal, at nung nagsisimula pa lang kaming maging seryoso, na-realize namin na itong Manila Hotel is so special to us...
"Kasi dati, tuwing may mga meetings sa opisina, dito kami dinadala. Kasi sa totoo ano ito e, kape lang naman, e. Hindi naman kami kumakain dito kasi masyadong mahal.
"So ngayon, dumating na nga yung araw na yung wedding fund, sa totoo, dekada ko inipon, magagamit ko na."
Jimmy unveiled his modern Barong suit, crafted specifically for the wedding, and his custom Marikina-made shoes.
