Angel Locsin and Neil Arce got married the same day Hidilyn Diaz won her gold medal!
On August 7, 2021, Angel and Neil surprised everyone with the biggest news ever! The couple revealed that they are now married and has shared details of their intimate civil wedding since.
"Si Neil lahat nag-ayos ng legal documents. "Gusto mo ako pakasalan? Ayusin mo 'yan,"" said Angel.
"Nung time kasi na gusto na namin magpakasal akala ko pwede ko tawagan si Mayor "Mayor pwede mo ba kami ikasal bukas?" Hindi pala ganun 'yun so marami pala kaming kailangang ayusin paperwork so sa sobrang tagal nag-intay namin 'nung paperwork, talagang reading ready na kami magpakasal." Neil Arce shared.
On a video they shared on their channel, the couple revealed the exact date that they got married which was before another enhanced community quarantine has been imposed.
"Actually kinasal kami bago pa mag ECQ ilang tao lang 'yung sa City hall allowed. Syempre hindi naman namin maimbita lahat ng tao. Nung time pa nun bumabagyo." says Angel.
It also turned out that it was the same day Hidilyn Diaz won the Philippines’ first ever Olympic gold medal which became their number one topic at the reception!
"Ten days ata straight hindi huminto 'yung ulan. Tapos nanalo ng gold si Heidi [Hidilyn Diaz]. 'Yun 'yung topic namin habang kumakain."
It is really amazing how Angel and Neil managed to keep their wedding in the down low that not one in the press picked it up. They have been married for almost 2 weeks already before they made the official announcement and now, they are generously sharing details of their intimate wedding and we can’t help but fall in love with the love they have for each other!
"Kung ano man yung nangyari sa wedding na 'to is may personal touch namin talaga. It's very intimate. it's very simple. it's very us," says Angel Locsin.
