Zoren Legaspi rushed wedding with Carmina Villaroel due to her father’s critical condition

February 28 ------ Zoren Legaspi recounted how he planned his surprise wedding to Carmina Villaroel and how her father’s health was one of the factors why Legaspi decided to push through with it. Legaspi got emotional as he talked about their wedding and his concerns at the time regarding Villaroel’s father, as seen in a vlog on the couple’s YouTube channel yesterday, Feb. 27, where they were answering fan questions.

“Ang isang triggering point kasi no’n kaya siya naging surprise at mabilisan, nagkasakit kasi si daddy Reggie, bibigyan ng hip replacement,” he said. “Sabi nung doctor ‘pag ginawa ‘yun, 50-50 si daddy Reggie then sabi ko ‘Yun lang ba talaga ‘yung option?’ then it hit me. Sabi ko ‘Kung magpapakasal kami ni Mina na hindi mawi-witness ni daddy Reggie, useless.’ Kasi wala na mama mo tapos pag naglakad ka doon wala pa daddy Reggie mo, so for me, useless siya.”

Legaspi then described Villaroel’s walk down the aisle as his favorite part of their wedding, stressing that Villaroel’s emotions were evident then as she was with her father.

Aside from their wedding, Legaspi also talked about how he’s not ready for his twins, Cassy and Mavy, to be in a relationship, stressing that they’re still young to be in one. He also added how the “culture” of getting into young relationships should be dismissed. “‘Yung sa akin kasi, why push them into these things at a very, very young age kung marami namang pwedeng ma-push sila in a different angle,” he stated. “The later you have a relationship, the better. Kung nag-25 ka or 26 and you’re still single, doesn’t mean you have a lonely heart. It’s better kasi hindi ‘yan ang priority sa buhay.”

Legaspi and Villaroel tied the knot in 2012 after being a couple for 12 years. Their surprise wedding was attended by fellow celebrities that include Boy Abunda, Susan Roces and Maricel Soriano.
