Former “Starstruck” alumna Jade Lopez is set to marry her fiancé Rocky Ficcion on October 22, 2018 in Manila Cathedral. The couple got engaged earlier this year during their trip to Japan.
In an interview with the Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) on Dec. 11 at Firestarters office in Timog Avenue, Quezon City, Jade Lopez admitted that she prayed that her wedding would be held in the historical church of Manila Cathedral. Although she thought it was far from possible, the 30-year-old actress did not lose hope and tried their luck to hope for an available slot. Luckily, they were given an open slot which coincides with her birthday.
She shared:
“Talagang pinag-pray ko na sa Manila Cathedral kami ikasal… Kahit na alam kong suntok sa buwan dahil fully-booked for the whole year ang simbahan na iyon. Natuwa naman kami ni Rocky dahil nabigyan kami ng slot at sa mismong birthday ko pa which is October 22. Talagang meant na ikasal kami sa historical church na iyon. Tsaka ang wedding date naming falls on a Monday, kaya siguro may available na araw kasi bihira ang may kinakasal ng Lunes.”
Prior to deciding to exchange their vows and “I do’s” in the historical church, the couple planned to get wed in a chapel located in Misibis Bay, Bacacay, Albay. However, Jade and Rocky had to consider things so they both agreed on tying the knot in Manila instead.
She explained:
“Doon gusto ni Rocky kami ikasal kasi ang ganda ng chapel doon. So tiningnan naman namin. Kung doon kami ikakasal, konti lang ang maiimbitahan namin. Siguro aroung 20 people lang. E, gusto namin ni Rocky na makapunta lahat ng family members, relatives at friends namin. Lalo na si Rocky na galing sa malaking pamilya.”
“At sa totoo lang, nalalayuan din ako at nakakapagod ang biyahe. Ang iniisip ko ay ang magiging kalagayan ng tatay ko. Baka mahirapan na siyang bumiyahe pati na ang ibang senior na bisita namin. Kaya we talked about it at iniba na namin ang venue. Sa Manila na lang kami ikasal para lahat ng gusto naming imbitahan ay makapunta. Baka sa Misibis Bay na lang kami mag-honeymoon.”
Unlike other soon-to-be-brides who hire professionals to plan all the preparations for the big day, Jade is opting to do it herself as she wants to cherish the moment.
She shared:
“So far, paisa-isa ang inaayos namin. Hindi pa ako sobrang stressed. Hindi pa ako bridezilla! Nahirapan lang ako sa mga babaguhin na mga personal documents tulad ng pag-change ng family name sa mga IDs, passport, driver’s license. Tapos, schedule for couple seminar, meeting with the suppliers. Lahat iyon pagdadaanan ko next year na.”
“Kaya nire-ready ko ang sarili ko dahil malaking bagay ito para sa amin. Ang color motif namin is gold and pink. It’s an unusual combination, pero iba kasi ang dating, e. Walang masyadong gumagamit ng ganyang colors sa wedding. But we will make it work. Yung wedding dress naman, I want it to be simple but romantic and elegant. May design na akong gusto, designer na lang ang kailangan ko. May mga naiisip na akong tatawagan and hopefully, may isa roon na makaka-execute ng dream wedding dress ko.”
Jade also revealed that fellow “Starstruck” alumni Cristine Reyes and Stef Prescott are going to be part of the bridesmaids entourage.
Since most of Jade’s friends are now living a happy family life, she jokingly said that if her celebrity friend Sheena Halili is still single until the day of her wedding, she will willingly give the wedding bouquet to the actress.
She said:
“Nalaman ko nga na lahat ng female friends ko ay hindi na single. So sino pa ang sasalo ng bouquet? Ngayon kung si Sheena [Halili] ay single pa sa araw ng wedding ko, iaabot ko na lang sa kanya ang bouquet! Para siya na ang next na bride!”
Jade however admitted that she wanted to have a baby of her own hopefully after their honeymoon. Apart from considering her age, she expressed that her parents also want to have grandchildren.
She confessed:
“Kaya gusto ko nang magbuntis after kaming ikasal. Tatlong anak lang ang gusto ko, pero si Rocky, gusto raw niya ay sampu! Kasi siyam ang mga kapatid niya. Masaya raw kapag marami at magulo. Ako kasi, isa lang ang naging kapatid ko. Tapos, hindi pa kami masyadong nag-aaway kaya tahimik lang sa bahay. Kaya gusto ko tatlo, para medyo maging magulo. Sure ako na may isa roon na makulit at mang-aasar sa mga kapatid niya.”
On the other hand, as she enters a new chapter of her life, Jade Lopez will remain active in show business. In fact, she just recently signed up with Firestarters Manila and already has a inked up projects for nex year.
