THE RESPONSE OF AlDub fans to the Kalyeserye wedding of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza is just overwhelming. It trended number one worldwide on Twitter and the ratings soared to the roof. To think it’s just make-believe as part of “Eat Bulaga”, but the fans treated it like it’s real and looks like they’re going to be more possessive of their idols from now on.
The wedding was held at Christ the King Church on E. Rodriguez as the Lolas go there frequently. The ceremony started at about 1:30pm with Rodjun Cruz as best man, followed by Alden and Ai Ai de las Alas as his Lola Babah who walked with him to the altar. The principal sponsors include Joey de Leon, Helen Gamboa, Mike Enriquez, Irma Adlawan (the couple’s co-star in “Imagine You and Me”) while the secondary sponsors are “Trops” stars Kenneth Medrano-Toni Aquino (for veil), Miggy Tolentino-Taki (for candle), and Jake Ejercito (Maine’s classmate)-Aicelle Santos (for cord). Ring bearer is Baby Baste while coin bearer is Sandro Sotto. The flower girls include Ryzza Mae Dizon and Scarlet Mago (daughter of Pia Guanio). The maid of honor is Maine’s sister, Coleen Mendoza. The choir sang “God Gave Me You” while Maine is walking to the altar in her beautiful (not recycled this time) new gown.
Wally Bayola as Lola Nidora and Ai Ai as Lola Babah now call each other Balae. Everyone thought the wedding is off because of a call Maine received the day before, but it turned out the call said “hindi matutuloy ang honeymoon in Hong Kong” because they’ll be going to Europe instead. The fans swooned and shrieked when the couple exchanged “I do’s”. Some even cried when they put on each other’s wedding rings and read their wedding vows. And when they kissed each other on the lips, everyone was in kilig mode.
The fans who were lucky to be invited to the wedding really dressed up and behaved like it’s a real one. They all have their own gifts to the newly weds. The question now on everybody’s lips is: what is next in the Kalyeserye after the wedding? Will they see Maine getting preggers and having hers and Alden’s own kids? Let’s leave it to the writers of “Eat Bulaga” to cook up more exciting episodes for today’s number one love team!
