IT’S THAT TIME of year once again: ringing out the old and ringing in the new. So before we bid 2014 a final goodbye, here’s a last glimpse at the memorable showbiz happenings of the outgoing year.
In the romance department, it's a year of weddings as several couples got married this year. It all started in January when Yia VIllania and Drew Arellano tied the knot. This was followed by TV host-singer Karylle and band vocalist Yael Yuzon in March, along with beauty queen-actress Miriam Quiambao (her second marriage) and non-showbiz groom Ardy Roberto. In April, beauty queen-actress Krista Kleiner and her Singaporean-Aussie entrepreneur-boyfriend named Patrick Grove tied the knot in Singapore.
Jericho Rosales and Kim Jones had a wedding by the beach in Boracay in May. Boots Anson Roa becomes a bride anew with Atty. King Rodrigo as her groom in June. Other couples who tied the knot are Amy Perez and radio host Carlo Castillo, and Joross Gamboa and non-showbiz fiancée Katz Saga in November.
Star Circle discovery Neri Naig and Parokya ni Edgar vocalist Chito Miranda survived the video sex scandal they got involved in and walked down the aisle on Dec. 3 while TV host Bianca Gonzalez and cager JC Intal exchanged I do’s on Dec. 4.
Some haters bashed Aiza Seguerra and Liza Dino for their same sex wedding in Los Angeles on Dec. 8, but they remain happily united with each other.
BUT the biggest wedding of the year is no doubt that of Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera. Dingdong proposed on national TV in Marian’s own musical dance show in August and they set their wedding on December 30 at the Immaculate Conception, with reception at SM MOA Arena.
Other couples who admitted that they already got married quietly are Nadine Samonte and Richard Chua (son of actress Isabel Rivas), Alwyn Uytingco and Jennica Garcia, and Viva Hot Babes Katya Santos and Maui Taylor.
