Karylle has no wedding jitters

Karylle: I want my wedding guests to be able to express themselves (NPPA Imaqes)

 

Karylle will be calm and collected when she walks down the aisle to marry Spongecola vocalist Yael Yuzon on Friday, March 21, in an undisclosed out-of-town venue.

“No, I have no wedding jitters,” the bride-to-be told Yahoo Philippines at the backstage of “It’s Showtime” on Monday, March 10.

At 32, an age when many of her friends are also walking down the aisle, Karylle is already ripe for marriage. Besides, Karylle says she and Yael started out as friends and they complement each other.  So she is sure she has found Mr. Right.

Garden wedding

Karylle’s wedding will be held in a garden, and the guests are not required to wear any color motif or any particular attire.

“I want them to be able to express themselves, relax, be happy and enjoy,” Karylle explains.

Wedding preparations started quite late – mid-January, so the bride-to-be is taking things a day at time, with the help of her wedding organizer and her family.

Why didn’t she confirm the wedding when so many people were asking her about it?

“That’s because we didn’t know when the wedding will be, where it will be and the other details,” Karylle replied.

Falling into place

Everything has fallen into place since. Karylle was able to get the church she wants to get married in.  She’s just as happy Francis Libiran is creating one of her gowns (the identity of the other designer is a big secret).

One of the wedding sponsors is Karylle’s “It’s Showtime” host Kim Atienza, who, as a happily-married man is already giving the bride-to-be pieces of advice on how to keep her marriage strong.

But the celebration doesn’t stop on March 21, since the next day happens to be  Karylle’s birthday.  The celebration will continue and Karylle expects to be tired, but happy.

She – plus her friends and loved ones – hope that happiness will last forever.
