The seven-year relationship of Ejay Falcon and Jana Roxas culminates in a garden wedding that took place earlier today, March 25, 2023, at the Enderun Tent, McKinley Hill, Taguig City.
The solemn Christian ceremony, which was attended by politicians and celebrities, officially ended with a 10-minute kiss while the song "Till I Met You" was playing in the background.
The bride and groom personally wrote their vows.
Ejay's heartfelt message lasted 10 minutes.
He began, "Paulit-ulit, mahal kita Jana Roxas. Mahal kita, baby. Yihee."
He continued, laughing, "Pasensiya na po mahaba talaga, e, ilang oras po ito."

Then the Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus winner turned serious. Here's a portion of his vow:
"Simula pa lang ito ng mas maraming masasayang moments with you. I know hindi ito magiging perfect, marami pa ring challenges o pagsubok, pero kakayanin natin together.
"Baby, hindi ko maipapangako na magiging perfect husband ako. Alam ko, maraming pagkakataon na mawawalan ako ng oras dahil sa katungkulang ipinagkatiwala sa akin ng Oriental Mindorenos.
"Alam kong may mga moments na puwede kang mapagod sa pag-intindi sa sumpong ko.
"Alam kong darating ang pagkakataon na meron tayong di pagkakaunawaan, may mga oras na mag-aaway tayo sa mga bagay-bagay.
"Pero, baby, sana sa mga oras na yun, huwag mo akong bibitawan."
The bride, for her part, spilled her heart out in the four-minute vow she delivered.
"Vice Gov Ejay, my baby, today, surrounded by all our loved-ones, I am the happiest woman in the room because I am marrying my best friend and the love of my life.
"Seven years ago, hindi ko inakala that God would bless me with the most beautiful gift, which is you.
"Sabi mo nga, nagsimula tayo bilang magkaibigan. At tama ka, mabilis ako na-in love sa iyo, dahil nakita ko na hindi ka lang guwapo, siyempre, at may abs nung time na iyon."

The Starstruck Batch 3 alumna was grateful she found a good man, "Nagustuhan kita dahil nakita ko kung gaano kabuti ang iyong puso.
"Baby, gusto kong magpasalamat sa iyo sa araw na ito dahil tinupad mo yung matagal ko nang pinagdarasal kay God: Yung makahanap ako ng taong mamahalin ako nang buung-buo, ng taong makakasama ko sa hirap at ginhawa."
"Hindi lang ako ang pinasaya mo ngayon kundi pinasaya mo rin ang pamilya ko, lalung-lalo na ang Mama. Ngayon, hind na siya mamumroblema. Secured na ang anak niya, at meron nang taong tatayo sa likod niya."
In between tears, Jana interjected humorous quips.
"Pinapangako ko sa iyo, hindi ako magiging perfect wife, pero ita-try ko ang best ko na maging perfect para sa iyo at sa mga future babies natin. O, babies, bawal laging sabihing pagod."
Ejay and the crowd laughed.
Jana acknowledged the rigors of Ejay's position as vice governor of Oriental Mindoro, so, she added, "...kahit isa muna, try-try din."
Turning serious again, she continued:
"Lagi mong tatandaan, pinapangako ko sa Diyos, pinapangako ko sa mga magulang natin, pinapangako ko sa lahat ng taong nandito na nagmamahal sa ating dalawa na habang buhay kitang mamahalin, rerespetuhin, at susuportahan sa lahat ng iyong mga pangarap sa buhay."
Among Ejay's principal sponsors are Senators Miguel Zubiri and Sherwin Gatchalian and Star Magic big boss Laurenti Dyogi and Star Magic director Alan Real.
Sylvia Sanchez and her husband, Art Atayde, are ninang and ninong, respectively.
The couple's entourage includes Ejay's Pasion de Amor co-stars Jake Cuenca and Joseph Marco.
Jana's StarStruck batchmate Jackie Rice is the candle sponsor.
Aguila Entertainment's Jan Enriquez is the veil sponsor.
