The handsome groom

After Jolina Magdangal and Mark Escueta announced their engagement last June, people have been waiting for their BIG Day. And their BIG Day is today, 11/21/11,  in a private ceremony.

UPDATES: 11/22/2011

Jolina and Mark were married twice. The first was last Saturday, November 19, 2011. 

The reason why they got married twice because they wanted a garden wedding but it is not allowed by Catholic church that's why they decided to hold two.  

I like her pink dress :)
