Yeng Constantino is getting more excited as her wedding with Yan Asuncion approaches.

The bride-to-be knows she will be emotional when she finally says “I do” on Valentine's Day, in ceremonies set in Tagaytay with family, close friends and fellow stars in “ASAP” and Star Magic in attendance.

While some singers have opted to sing as they walk down the aisle, Yeng has reservations because she might be too emotional.

“Hindi ko alam kung good iyon. Baka habang naglakad ako, masira na ang makeup ko. Hindi ko na lang siya tatangkain na gawin. Siguro kakantahin ko na lang kapag tapos na yung march. Baka sa wedding march, maglalakad lang ako. Sa reception na lang (ako kakanta) para kahit masira na ang makeup ko, okay lang,” Yeng said at the press conference of her newest album “All about Love.”


Guests can sing if they want to

She plans to have her song “Una’t Huling Pag-ibig,” written by Ebe Dancel as her wedding march song, while she will sing “Ikaw” during the reception. Yeng said their wedding will be “musical.”

“May magce-cello, may magpi-piano. Open mic siya kasi mga musicians din ang mga invited. If they want to sing, they can sing,” she said.

“Ayaw ko din mag-imbita ng isang person, 'Kanta ka sa wedding ko,' ayaw ko ng ganoon. If they feel like singing, may freedom sila to sing. Ako, kapag tinanong ako, siyempre gusto ko, pero if they like lang. Very chill.”


The new songs

Being so in love with Yan, Yeng shared that she was crying and emotional when she was recording “Ikaw,” the song in her new album that she composed for Yan.

Other songs in her album are Yan’s compositions, including “Shining Like the Sun (Baby are You Ready)," "Your Love Is My Relief” and "What's Up Ahead.”

Other love songs featured are "Dito Ka Lang sa Tabi" composed by Toto Sorioso, "Feels Like" by Gus Abarquez, “So Beautiful” by Jonathan Manalo and “Ferris Wheel by Jed Dumawal.


Post-wedding plans

After their wedding, the couple will have their honeymoon in Maldives.

As they don’t plan to have a baby soon yet, Yeng will continue to be active in showbiz.

“Wala akong planong umalis sa show business, sa music industry kasi ito talaga yung passion ko. I'm really grateful that Yan is a very supportive partner. Hindi niya gugustuhin talaga na hindi ko gawin ang something na nakakapagpasaya sa akin. Ako din, support ko lang din kung ano ang passion niya, his ministry, yung charity works namin,” she said.
