ABS-CBN Broadcast journalist Korina Sanchez and Philippine Senator Mar Roxas exchanged marital vows at the Sto. Domingo Church in Quezon City, Philippines. The much-awaited ceremony started at 4:00 in the afternoon and was witnessed by famous personalities in the Philippines.

Hundreds of fans and supporters of the couple also took part in the ceremony by watching the exchange of “I dos” through the video walls situated around the church’s compound.

Korina Sanchez is wearing a serpentina-style Filipiniana gown by renowned designer Pepito Albert while Mar Roxas wears a traditional barong by Randy Ortiz. A white cloth held by ushers blocked Korina’s view, which prevented people around the church’s compound from seeing the bride until the start of the bridal march. Korina Sanchez walked down the aisle as the Manila Symphony Orchestra played Ray An Fuentes’ Umagang Kay Ganda.

Sponsors and guests wore Filipiniana attires. White roses and sampaguita, Korina Sanchez’s favorite flowers, adorned the Sto. Domingo Church.

Some of the personalities spotted at the Mar-Korina wedding were: Randy David, Rey Langit, Pitoy Moreno, Paeng Nepomuceno, Vehnee Saturno, Bayan Muna Rep. Satur Ocampo, Secretary Ronnie Puno of the Department of Interior and Local Government, Basil Valdez, Wilson Tieng of Solar Films, ABS-CBN President Charo Santos-Concio, former Senator Letty Ramos Shahani,Ralph Recto, Lily Monteverde, Teodoro Locsin, former President Joseph Estrada, Sen.

The principal sponsors are Chief Justice Reynato Puno, former Senate President Jovito Salonga, Eugenio Lopez III, Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, Jorge Araneta, Ms. Rosa Rosal, Helen Costales, Ruby Roxas, Cecilia Lazaro, and Maria Fores.

Roxas’ 16-year old son, Paolo Zaldarriaga, stood as the senator’s best man, while Dang Cecilio-Palance was the matron of honor.

The ring bearer is Kris Aquino’s son, James Yap Jr., while Miguel Sanchez and Matthew Garcia are the coin and Bible bearers.

There will be no grand reception after the ceremony as the couple decided to donate the money to 6 charity organizations providing assistance to victims of typhoons “Ondoy” and “Pepeng.” Instead, the couple is set to meet with their guests in the church’s courtyard where food and refreshments will be served.

More than 200 police have been deployed in the area to maintain peace and order.

A teary-eyed Kris Aquino faced ABS-CBN.com in an exclusive interview where she shared how disappointed she is when Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez broke the “big news” about their engagement and upcoming wedding on Willie Revillame’s “Wowowee” instead of the actress’ TV show.

Kris and SNN co-host Boy Abunda had “went out on a limb” to have an exclusive sit-down interview with the couple.

“Sinabi ko kay Boy, ‘Let’s protect this exclusive’ and let’s give them the concessions di ba? Ipinakausap ko ‘to. If it is exclusive, alagaan mo. Pwedeng humingi ng concessions sa’yo na lahat ng pag-aalaga gagawin mo ‘di ba? Hiningi ko to kay Boy. Sinabi ko, ‘Come election time, you can choose who you want . Pero can you do this for me now? At least for the next few weeks.’ Prinomise nila sa ‘yung sit-down, lahat ng detalye…everything,” the actress said.

Due to unexpected turn of events, the exclusive interview with the couple was pushed back but the plans were diverted when the couple appeared on “Wowowee.”

“Alam ko hindi nila kasalanan, hindi nila ginusto. Pero napahiya talaga ako kasi ako ‘yung nakiusap. And then, ‘yung staff ilang weeks din ‘yun, na every week meron (news about Korina and Mar) because you are building it up nga for the exclusive you thought was yours…I was honest enough to say I felt we were used and discarded,” she said.

The couple informed Aquino that they would be appearing on Revillame’s show for an interview regarding the couple’s engagement and upcoming wedding.

Aquino has also shared that Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez have reached out to her to make peace.

“Six arrangement of flowers ang pinadala… letter si Korina, it’s really heartfelt. Maski si Mar ang haba ng text and all. Umabot pa sa point na si Mr. M (Johnny Manahan) at si Mariole (Alberto) nag-explain. Sabi ko wala. Walang isyu sa amin ni Willie (Revillame). I mean, nagso-sorry sila and naiintindihan ko,” she shared.

The live show of the noontime game show “Wowowee” last Saturday, April 25, 2009 was a bit unusual for broadcast journalist Korina Sanchez was in the show as a guest co-host. Having guest co-hosts is normal for the show during Saturdays, but the show last Saturday is really different.

Evening of Friday, April 24, 2009, I started receiving reports from friends that something “big” would happen in the show and an “announcement” would also be made. Come Saturday, I turned on my TV and saw Korina Sanchez and Mar Roxas in the show talking about their wedding proposal and upcoming wedding and so the supposed to be game show suddenly turned into an afternoon talk show (What’s with the blue balloons on the set?).

The senator, in his usual blue polo shirt shared how he proposed to the broadcast journalist: “Ang setting ay nasa resort kami, at gabi. Nadidinig ‘yung hampas ng alon, at siyempre magkatabi kami. Kami lang at nagho-holding hands. Sinabi ko naman sa kanya na, ‘tayo na nga talaga ito kaya I want to formally ask for your hand in the church.’ ‘Yun lang ang naaalala ko naiiyak ako sa tuwa, eh.”

The senator did cry a little during the “interview” and Korina would wipe the senator’s tears. How sweet!

So, when asked for his message to her wife-to-be the senator said: “Matagal na rin tayong nagsasama at alam mo naman how I feel about you at gusto kong malaman mo na buong-buo nang loob ko. Walang kahit anong tanong sa puso ko at sa isip ko na tayo na nga habambuhay.”

So when will the wedding bells ring? Your guess is as good as mine. But, congratulations to Korina Sanchez and Mar Roxas.

Philippine Senator Mar Roxas and broadcast journalist Korina Sanchez are to the wedding knot soon.

According to “SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon’s” reliable source, the senator announced his upcoming wedding with the broadcaster during the former’s family reunion last Sunday, April 12, 2009. The Aranetas, family of Mar Roxas was happy to learn about the wedding.

On Wednesday morning, the Aranetas with Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez were at the Libingan ng mga Bayani for a wreath-laying ceremony to commemorate the 61st death anniversary of former President Manuel Roxas, Mar Roxas’ grandfather.

“Kasama siya (Korina Sanchez) sa pamilya namin at lahat naman kami ay taun-taon nagbibigay galang sa death anniversary ng aking lolo. Kapamilya,” Roxas answered when asked by the entertainment press on the reason Korina is with him in a family gathering.
