MULA SA isang romantikong kanta ay nauwi sa totoong buhay ang pagmamahalan nina Richard Poon at Maricar Reyes. The couple finally tied the knot at The Bellevue Hotel in Alabang, Muntinlupa last June 9.
Their engagement was announced in April during Richard’s album launch pero naging maingat siya sa pagbibigay ng mga detalye tungkol sa kanilang kasal.
Maganda ang love story nina Maricar at Richard. Una silang nagkita when Maricar starred in Richard’s music video of his single You and I in 2009. Sino ang mag-aakalang magiging sila pala in real life?
Ang sarap ulit-uliting panoorin ng music video because Maricar and Richard are a good pair and the song’s lyrics are very beautiful. The song speaks of eternal love gaya ng mga linyang, “You and I will travel far together. We’ll pursue our little star together. We’ll be happy as we are together. We may never get to heaven. But it’s heaven, at least to try.” Ngayon ay hawak-kamay na nilang tatahakin ang panibagong yugto ng kanilang buhay.
Maricar looked resplendent in her jewel-studded gown created by fashion designer Francis Libiran na siya ring gumawa ng black tuxedo ni Richard. Larawan si Maricar ng isang maligaya at in-love na bride who will finally marry the love of her life.
The solemn wedding ceremony was attended by the couple’s family and friends including Nikki Gil, Billy Crawford, Nikki Valdez, Christian Bautista, Yeng Constantino and ABS-CBN executives Johnny Manahan, Cory Vidanes, Linggit Tan, and Ms. Charo Santos-Concio. Nikki, Jose Mari Chan, Thor, and the ASAP Sessionistas performed during the wedding reception.
In an interview before, Richard shared that he admired Maricar’s character and simplicity. “Unang kita ko pa lang kay Maricar sa Betty La Fea, crush ko na siya. May character siya, grace under pressure. She has gone through a lot. I like how her character handled it. She’s a very simple and private person.”
To Maricar and Richard, all the best!
Kaibigan, usap tayo muli!
