Korina finally picks 'people's church' for her wedding
MANILA – Sen. Manuel “Mar” Roxas II and ABS-CBN broadcaster Korina Sanchez will exchange “I dos” on October 23 at Sto. Domingo Church in Quezon City.
Sanchez made this formal announcement on “SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon.”
"Sto. Domingo Church na sa wakas ang ating napiling simbahan. So, we want to make as many people as happy as possible on that day. Kaya iyong ibang bagay ay tinitipid [namin] para mas marami kaming mapakain at mapasaya," Sanchez said.
According to its Wikipedia entry, Sto. Domingo Church, or formerly known as “Our Lady of La Naval,” is one of the tallest and largest in the country. The main altar has a mosaic of St. Dominic designed by architect Jose Zaragoza while Galo Ocampo designed the stained glass windows.
The church was built by the Dominican Order and originally stood within the walls of Intramuros. The church was transferred to Quezon City after its original structure was destroyed during World War II.
In a previous interview, event organizer Mike Niñana said the couple wanted a big church that will not only accommodate their respective families and friends but the public as well.
“Ang gusto nila invited ang public, magkasya. So ang importante, people's church. Pangalawa malaki, magkasya lahat, hindi lang iyong mga kaibigan nila. Alam mo naman sila public figures,” Niñana said.
The engaged couple also considered Manila Cathedral in Intramuros, Manila and Quiapo Church.
Sanchez’s gown will be designed by Pepito Alba. Her ring bearer, meantime, is the youngest son of actress-host Kris Aquino.
Her wedding will be directed by Johnny Manahan, who is the director of popular noontime show "Wowowee."
