Getting married is a big event.
During proposals, some people in a relationship are very particular about the hows, whens, and wheres of their engagement. The couple then grows more particular and meticulous when they proceed with planning their dream wedding.
This is especially so when getting married involves celebrities who have always been drawing the attention of the public eye.
So much is expected from this personal milestone of TV stars and personalities. At the same time, there also seems to be so many options from a variety of eager suppliers who'd gladly take bigwigs in their roster of clients.
From the date of their nuptials to the designer of their bridal gowns or wedding suits, from their choice of cake to the motif of their ceremony, wedding details can be very overwhelming. Sometimes, couples even prefer to have long engagements to iron out their priorities and give them more time for planning.
However, celebrity couples like Rocco Nacino and Melissa Gohing, Bettinna Carlos and Mikki Eduardo, and Luis Manzano and Jessy Mendiola show that this isn't always the case.
Getting married truly opens a big chapter in a couple's life, and others can't simply wait. It's not that they are rushing their wedding, but rather, they just envision their life together to be starting sooner.
