Top of the Morning: Watch Karel Marquez and Sean Farinas's Heartfelt Wedding Video

1. Watch: Karel Marquez and Sean Fariñas's heartfelt same-day-edit wedding video

Ready the tissues -- video company Treehouse Story has released Karel Marquez and Sean Fariñas's wedding video on Facebook. The two said their "I Do's" at the Santuario de San Antonio Parish in Forbes Park on December 1. "Today, I take you to be my husband. I will love you unconditionally and without hesitation for it is your heart that moves me. Your every flaw, I embrace. It is your spirit that inspires me. Your humor delights me every day. Your hand, I want to hold for all of our days," Karel said in her vows. "You are my world, my life and my everything. Thank you for sharing your heart with me eternally," Sean said. "You and the kids are the most wonderful thing and you all mean the world to me. One of the most important things that I have learned is fighting for what you want the most. God and everyone here know how much I’ve fought for you," he added. 

In the video, we also get a glimpse of Sean receiving from Karel the 4M-worth BMW car as a wedding gift, something she explained in length via a Facebook post to answer the issues that naysayers brought up. In the same post, Karel also clarified that this is her first marriage. "Despite all the conjectures, I kept quiet and avoided the limelight and unnecessary issues. People would stereotype that maybe just because they know I have two beautiful children, I may have gotten married. I was never married yet even via church or civilly my whole life. Yes, I have two kids from my ex. Ex-boyfriend, that is," she wrote.


2. It's a girl for singer Juris Fernandez

The soon-to-be mom of two had a baby shower / gender reveal on Sunday, December 4, organized by her sister, and it was held at The Penthouse of Azumi Boutique Hotel in Alabang with partners One Tree South, Ogalala World, Pigeon Baby, and Cetaphil. The venue styling was done by Passion Cooks and the pillow giveaways were by Arteegram Manila. "The most exciting part for me was revealing to everyone the gender of our baby through cutting the lovely customized cake by Hello! Sugar," Juris wrote in the caption of one of her Instagram posts. The singer has been referring to the baby in her tummy as "shobe" -- that's Chinese for younger sister.
