The groom is musician Jeremiah Tanseco Bacarro, 27, nicknamed Jim. They tied the knot at the St. Ignatius church inside the Philippine Military Academy in Baguio last Saturday afternoon. Jim proposed to Saab in March last year while they were on vacation in Japan with the Magalonas. They both belong to the rock band called Cheats, where Saab is a vocalist and Jim is the guitarist, keyboardist and also does vocals. They’ve been officially together for three years now but have actually known each other for ten years.

Both Saab and Jim chose to have a simple wedding. “It’s not about the wedding, it’s about the marriage,” they say.
And it’s so true. You can have the grandest of weddings but it doesn’t mean your marriage will automatically be successful. Jim and Saab took the marriage preparation program with our group at the Discovery Weekend last November at OMI Retreat House, so they know what they are getting into. Saab even generously volunteered to be the moderator of their batch’s Facebook page. Here’s wishing them a truly meaningful, fulfilling and happy marriage that will last a lifetime.
Also officially engaged is Bossa Nova Queen and Icon, Sitti Navarro. She will tie the knot on May 29 with her non-showbiz boyfriend, Joey Ramirez. Our best wishes to Sitti and Joey.
