MANILA, Philippines - Pang-apat na kasal na pala nina David Bunevacz and Jessica Rodriguez ang ginanap last October 10 sa poolside ng The Peninsula in Beverly Hills in California.
Una silang ikinasal sa isang civil rites sa California rin 10 years ago - October 12, 2000. Sinundan ito ng grand church wedding that same year sa NBC Tent sa Makati. At nung kanilang 5th wedding anniversary, nagpakasal na naman sila sa isang Christian rites sa Tagaytay City.
Ang kanilang ika-fourth na kasal ay bilang selebrasyon ng kanilang 10th anniversary.
Ayon sa kaibigang si Shirley Pizarro na lumipad pa-Amerika para dumalo sa nasabing kasalan ng kanyang kaibigan, “The weather was perfect and the ceremony was heartfelt. It was elegant, yet simple. It was solemn, yet candid. The beautiful couple, hounded by years of controversies, took their vows with tears in their eyes.”
Three years ago nang umalis sila ng bansa. Naging kontrobersiyal ang pag-alis na ‘yun ng pamilya nina Jessica at David. “There is a reason for everything. And what you can find here are the very reason for my life,” sabi ni David tungkol sa kanyang asawa at tatlong anak na sina Hayca, Grant and Breanna. Legally adopted na ng dating sportsman ang anak ni Jessica sa dating karelasyon - Hayca and Grant.
“They are the reason why I work hard, why I want to excel and succeed. They are the reason why I breathe,” dagdag nito.
Nangako rin daw ito na their love will last forever and that he will continue to be faithful to her sa buong buhay nila. Nagpasalamat din ito at binigyan ng tribute ang asawang dating actress na nakasama niya sa maraming intriga.
“You put me on a pedestal, you treat me like a queen, and yes, you are my knight in shining armour. Endlessly I will love you, continuously I will pray with you, through it all I will stay with you no matter what,” sabi naman ni Jessica.
Nangako rin si David na kada limang taon ay pakakasalan niya ang asawa.
Suot ni Jessica ang Monique Lhuillier gown habang si David ay naka-Gucci suit.
Kumpleto ang kani-kanilang pamilya kung saan dumating din ang matagal nang ‘di nakikitang ama ng dating aktres.
Kasama sa mga bisita sina Patricia Javier (na mas kilala na ngayong Genesis Walcher) and her husband-chiropractor Rob and their little boy, ang buntis na si Krista Ranillo kasama ang asawang negosyante na si Niño Lim, GMA executive Wilma Galvante na nag-iisang sponsor sa wedding close friends kasama na si Shirley at Lhar Santiago, producer Aida Arceo, and former child actress Antoinette Taus, among others.
