The family also received well-wishes from their various celebrity friends.   

Ever heard of the saying that fathers will never be ready to give their daughters away? It must be partly true for celebrity singer-songwriter Janno Gibbs.
 
A surprise engagement in Mistral Point, Marouba was thrown for her daughter Alyssa “Chi” Gibbs by her boyfriend of four years, Anton Cruz.
 
Janno initially reacted, “My Chi is now engaged!!! WTF?! Hahahaha kidding!” But then, he said in his post that Anton has long been welcome in their family.
