Preparations for Mariel Rodriguez and Robin Padilla’s church wedding have been temporarily postponed to give way to their upcoming movie, “Tum, My Pledge of Love.”
In an exclusive interview with Star Studio Magazine, the newlyweds, who had a secret wedding in India, said they initially planned to set their wedding date in February of this year.
“Ang problema, busy kami dito sa movie. Yung kasalanan sa India, okay lang na walang plano. Ang kausap mo dun, Diyos lang. Kapag church wedding, para sa mga Pilipino ito eh. Para sa mga magulang niya [Mariel], sa mga kamag-anak niya, pamilya niya, kababayan natin, Kailangan ng preparasyon,” said Padilla.
“Kung either December or February 2011, ano yung wedding coordinator, superhero,” Rodriguez added.
Despite the time constraints, Padilla said his love for Rodriguez matters more than any ceremony.
“Ang importante, perfect love, hindi perfect wedding,” said Padilla.
“I always say that as long as we are okay, everything will be okay. Madaling magdesisyon. Madaling may gawin. We’ll get through whatever it is, as long as we are okay,” said Rodriguez.
On having a baby
Meanwhile, the television host and actress confessed that having a child is not their main priority right now.
According to Rodriguez, she wants to focus on being a good wife to Padilla.
“Ayaw namin. Kasi we want to enjoy muna na kami. You can’t bring this back anymore kapag nagkaanak na kami,” she said.
She, however, enjoys being a stepmom to Padilla’s children from his first marriage.
She considers herself fortunate that from the start, she and Padilla’s children have a mutual respect toward each other.
“They were raised well. The children are very nice, pleasant, sobrang mababait,” said Rodriguez.
