MANILA, Philippines – Long time couple Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez are tying the knot this year.

Alcasid declined to divulge the exact date of their big day as well as the venue to keep the ceremony private. He said only family and close friends are invited to the event.

He disclosed though that he will ask his former wife, Australian Michelle van Eimeren, to help in the wedding preparations. “Si Michelle ay magaling mag-ayos ng flowers. So, hihingin ko ang tulong niya.”

Their 2 kids and van Eimeren’s second husband will also be present in the wedding, he said.

President Aquino, he said, will be part of the entourage as well as Megastar Sharon Cuneta and businessman Manny Pangilinan.

Alcasid is also planning to ask Lea Salonga to sing in their wedding.

Alcasid, meanwhile, answered in the negative when asked if his fiancée is pregnant.

“Kay honey ko, salamat sa pagmamahal mo, paghihintay at pagiging patient mo. Ito na ‘yon,” he said. -The Buzz
