The actress and “It’s Showtime” host announced last August that she would sponsor a wedding as a wish-granting project under her foundation Dream Machine. One of the conditions was that the couple had to be together for more than 10 years.
Out of thousands of submissions, Marlon and Marlyn Bandelaria were selected after they were nominated by their daughter Maryfe Bandelaria Raviz, Dream Machine announced last Wednesday, March 20.
Last January, the family flew to Manila to meet Curtis and to make preparations for the wedding, as per Maryfe’s Facebook posts.
The couple got their first wedding rings from ring specialists Happy Proposals, who revealed in an Instagram post that the two had been together for 25 years already.
Marlyn and Marlon had their first prenup shoot at Museo de Padilla in Quezon City, where the future groom wore a suit and the bride-to-be stunned in a red floral dress and pearls.
