Controversial newlywed couple Robin Padilla and Mariel Rodriguez clarified the issue that surrounded their Baguio wedding held last September 13. Furthermore, they announced that they will have a Philippine church wedding ceremony before the year ends.
In an interview with Tina Monzon Palma last September 21, Robin finally broke his silence and set the record straight about the status of his relationship with the TV host-actress. He said that he and Mariel tied the knot last August 19 at the Taj Mahal in Agra, India. Asked if Padilla asked for Mariel's hand in marriage from her parents, the 'Bad Boy of Philippine Cinema' gave a vague reply.
Prior to the confession, Robin left the country last August 9 to go to India for the duration of the Ramadan. Eight days after, Mariel followed him and this was when they actually tied the knot in India. When they got back, reports surfaced that the two indeed got married but they kept mum about it. Then, on September 13, news broke out that the two got married in an Ibaloi wedding ceremony done in Baguio City.
During the same interview, Mariel said that they weren’t the ones who came up with the Baguio ‘wedding photos.' According to her, the alleged Ibaloi wedding ritual was a war dance and a display of the Ibaloi culture. This statement is contrary to what mamburao Jimmy Ong said when the Baguio wedding came out.
Mariel, in a separate interview, said that they will have a Philippine Catholic wedding before the year ends. The second wedding will be for their family and friends here. She said that the reason why they kept quiet about the real status of their relationship is that they felt it was not the right time yet. She also said that they "have to fix stuff with Ali". Ali is the youngest son of Robin wtih ex-wife Liezel Sicangco.
The actress added the India wedding was called "nikah," a matrimonial ceremony between the bride, the groom and Allah. "It's between Robin, me, and God. It's a Muslim rite," Rodriguez said. About the issue with her family, she stressed that her grandparents knew about the wedding. During the interview, the new Mrs. Padilla shared that she has no regrets about marrying Padilla. At this point, she believes that the overwhelming love and happiness that they have for each other would help them surpass the hurdles along the way.
During an event over the weekend where the newlyweds were guests, they said that they may have their Catholic wedding ceremony on December 25.
