Bea Alonzo said she really wanted her dream wedding with fiancé, actor Dominic Roque, to be an intimate event, but she lamented that it would be hard to pull off as they’re friends with many people.
Alonzo spoke about her upcoming wedding in response to a fan’s question about her “preferences” for her special day, as seen on her YouTube channel last Saturday, Sept. 3, saying she always wanted to have an “intimate” ceremony since she was a “little girl.”
“Sa totoo lang, I always get questions about this but we haven’t started the preparations for the wedding,” she said. “Gusto ko talaga intimate wedding ever since I was a little girl, gusto ko talaga intimate wedding.”
(To be honest, I always get questions about this but we haven’t started the preparations for the wedding. I have wanted an intimate wedding ever since I was a little girl. I really want an intimate wedding.)
Despite this, the actress admitted that having a private ceremony would be tough, as she noted that she and Roque have a lot of friends and acquaintances.
“Nag-iisip kami ni Dom ng guest list pa lang, parang ang dami pala naming friends. Kasi si Dom extrovert siya ang dami niya talagang friends. Ang dami niyang group of friends. And ako, I have a small circle of friends, but outside of that circle, and dami ko ring mga acquaintances, ang dami kong mga nakatrabaho,” she said.
(Dom and I are thinking of our guest list, and I realized that we have a lot of friends. Dom is an extrovert so he has a lot of friends. He has a lot of friend groups. While I have a small circle of friends, I have a lot of acquaintances, I’m on good terms with a lot of my colleagues.)
“I’ve been in this business for 22 years. Ang hirap niya talagang i-dilute into a very small number (It’s hard to dilute them into a very small number). One thing I’m sure about is that it’s going to be amazing cause I’m gonna be marrying the love of my life,” she further added, as she was visibly excited for her special day.
The couple announced their engagement in July 2023, with Roque proposing to Alonzo in the guise of a photo shoot.
Before accepting her partner’s proposal, the “One More Chance” star admitted that while she did a lot of engagement scenes throughout her acting career, she noted that “nothing beats the real thing.” EDV
