Zeinab Harake is still on cloud 9 days after she and her fiancé, Bobby Ray Parks, Jr., announced their engagement.
“Ang daming magagandang nangyayari sa buhay ko ngayon na talagang napapasabi talaga ako na, 'Thank you, Lord,'” Zeinab said with a full smile on her face during an interview with the entertainment press.
This was held after she was introduced as the newest celebrity endorser of the Luxe Slim Black Coffee at the Sheraton Hotel Manila in Pasay City on Friday night, July 12.
During the interview, Zeinab revealed that her wedding with Ray will happen next year.
“Actually, hind naman kaya within the year kasi ang dami rin kailangang focus-an. Next year talaga, sure yun next year. Next year na ang kasalan,” she said.
Then, she was asked about her dream wedding.
She answered, “Actually, ako, ang dream wedding ko is kung gaano naging kabongga ang proposal, ayaw ko naman ng ganun kabongga. Gusto ko yung mararamdaman yung pagiging intimate ng love, yun ang mas mangingibabaw kaysa yung dami ng tao, so mamimili talaga ako. Kung sino lang yung nasa tao sa buhay ko, yun lang ang invited, simple lang.”
Zeinab further stressed, “Gusto ko nga maramdaman yung intimate, na yung love namin sa isa't isa nandoon, yung mga masasaya. Bongga na yung proposal, e. Gagandahan naman. Siyempre, gusto ko maganda, pero ayaw ko yung sobrang enggrande.”
Instead of spending much on an expensive wedding, the celebrity mom said she and Ray would save it for their dream house.
She shared, “Pinag-uusapan namin ni Ray, kasi nakabili kami ng lot… Plano talaga namin by two years--kaya siya magja-Japan because doon, para makapag-provide kami sa pagpapagawa ng bahay. Kaysa i-spend mo yung malaking pera sa kasal, mas maganda mag-spend for the future with the kids. Yes, dream house. Actually, excited ako para rito. Dalawa kami, kaya work hard kami parehas.”
This is also the reason she and Ray would delay their baby plan.
“After ng kasal, bahay muna bago mag-baby and pumayag naman siya doon. Kasi siya, gusto na niya talagang mag-baby, wala pa siyang baby na [sa kanya]. Pero happy naman siya sa mga bata and naiintindihan niya yung gusto namin para sa future namin, na unahin muna kung ano ang mga dapat unahin. Para kapag dumating na yung time na magbe-baby na kami, wala ng stress, talagang happy na lang.
“Yun ang pinakaimportante dun, e, yung planado, hindi yung binasta-basta. Galing na ako doon, e, tama na. Dapat ngayon plantsado ang pagkakaplano,” she concluded.
