Wedding hitches nearly mar Maggie Wilson and Victor Consunji nuptials
After their much talked about prenup video has gone viral and the hullabaloo in our comments section debating if the clip is inappropriate (some even cried “porn!”) or not, the wedding of Victor & Maggie in Misibis Bay in Albay, Bicol last December 18, 2010 proceeded as planned inspite the hitches.
The groom couldn’t have described it any better…
“It spanned three days, and through a unique twist of divine faith, we got married twice in the same day. And with overflowing love and friendship and support, even the heavens cried, with torrential abundance. But it was perfect. It was unforgettable. It meant everything. It is the happiest days of our lives.” -Victor
The bride narrated a detailed account of what transpired on their big day in the article below which originally appeared in The Manila Bulletin. Read on…
Controversial couple Maggie Wilson and Victor Consunji’s December 18 wedding was nearly marred by hitches. A beach wedding ceremony held at Misibis Bay Raintree Resort in Albay, it was attended by about 200 guests. As the couple was about to exchange I do’s, they were told that the beach wedding was not possible unless they wed in a church first as ordered by the Catholic Church. Despite their surprise, the couple remained unfazed.
Fortunately, there was a church nearby the wedding venue so Maggie and Victor got wed there. “Gusto nu’ng priest ikasal muna kami sa church. Una muna ‘yung church bago ‘yung beach wedding. ‘Yun ‘yung parang bilin ng church kasi nga Catholic wedding siya. Usually, hindi pumapayag ang Catholic church na magpakasal sa beach. Gusto daw talaga nila sa loob mismo ng church,” Maggie shared on “Showbiz Central” on Dec. 26.
“Eh, hindi namin alam. Sinabi lang sa amin that day, nu’ng araw mismo ng kasal, noong araw na ‘yon. Sinabi sa amin na gusto nila sa church muna. So ganoon ang nangyari, kaya nagkaroon muna kami ng ceremony sa church with our family and closest firends. Konti lang kami, siguro 15 lang kami nandoon sa church,” the beauty queen-turned actress added.
“And then right after, nagbihis lang ako, nag-wedding dress and kinasal na naman ako sa beach,” Maggie recalled.
They were surprised that the officiating priest even knew of their controversial pre-nup video. “Ang pinaka-funny pa ‘yung priest na nagkasal sa amin, doon sa homily niya nabanggit niya ‘yung pre-nup video namin. So parang ginawa talaga niya ‘yung homework niya.”
The rain on Maggie’s parade did not stop there. Literally, the beach wedding was greeted by rains — a “torrential downpour” as Maggie described it. “Noong nag-start kami parang wala munang ulan. And then nag-start mag-rain noong mag-vows na kami. In fact noong nag-start na kaming mag-wedding vow biglang umulan nang sobrang lakas. Umulan siya and then sabi ng pari, ‘Now you may kiss the bride.'”
Although drenched by the rain, the guests remained seated all throughout the ceremony.“At ang pinakamaganda doon sa nangyari is lahat ng guests nag-stay. Walang umalis. Talagang lahat kami nabasa… as in basa ‘yung hair, basa lahat.”
The experience, Maggie recalls, “Para talaga siyang movie. It couldn’t have been written better. Parang it was such a beautiful wedding that even the heaven cried for us. Parang gano’n. That’s how I feel it. It is the happiest day of our lives. Siyempre gusto namin memorable and, of course, bongga!”
