PostHeaderIcon Sen. Mar Roxas and TV broadcaster Korina Sanchez wed at Santo Domingo Church





Perhaps no Philippine wedding can be called the most celebrated for this year without recalling the fabulous marriage of TV anchor and seasoned broadcaster Korina Sanchez to Sen. Mar Roxas on October 27, 2009.

In a dazzling nuptial attended by at least 3,000 well-wishers, the duo tied the knot at the Santo Domingo Church in Metro Manila on Tuesday. Many political figures, TV personalities, movie celebrities, and media persons attended.

At least 10 bishops led by Jaro Bishop Angel Lagdameo and Sorsogon Bishop Angel Valera officiated the solemn exchange of vows in the Catholic religious tradition. About 2,000 people waited outside the church to get a glimpse of the newly weds and see those who came to greet them.

The “wedding of the year” which was originally planned to welcome 10,000 guests in the Araneta Coliseum had been scaled down. Part of the money intended for the celebration was instead offered to help the victims of typhoons Ondoy and Peping that brought casualties and heavy damage to residents of Manila and its environs.
