Isabel was shaking, had to be asked thrice – John Prats on his proposal

By SAMANTHA PORTILLO

After John Prats’ creative flash mob proposal to Isabel Oli, his girlfriend of more than two years, last September 24, the couple guested in Startalk  and shared how happy they are.



Isabel said that up to now, she still could not believe that she and John are already engaged.

John shared, “Noong paglapit ko sa kanya, talagang she was really shaking. Iba ‘yung…parang ‘yung laman talaga, nanginginig and when I asked her, ang tagal niyang makasagot and parang nagla-lock jaw na siya.”

Isabel said John asked her to be his wife three times.

“Noong pangalawang time kasi, parang tumitingin ako. Sabi ko, parang hindi ito totoo. Baka joke time or baka nananaginip ako. Noong third time na sinabi niya sa akin, doon lang talaga [nag sink-in] na teka, totoo ito. Nakaluhod na siya, eh.”

John said that three months into his relationship with Isabel, he already realized that she was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

“Si Isabel kasi ‘yung parang willing na nandito ka na sa stage ng life mo niya na sige, you go ahead, I’ll just be here and I’ll support you. Siya ‘yung ganoon. Naramdam ko na walang competition, walang halong showbiz. As in talagang genuine and alam ko na kahit anong mangyari, hindi niya ako iiwan,” stated the actor-dancer.

According to Isabel, her late father would have been very happy for her in this momentous occasion in her life.

“Sabi ko [kay John], ‘Alam mo, kung nandito lang si Daddy, malamang binili na noon lahat ng tabloids and newspapers na may sulat about us. Ganoon siya. Tapos lahat siguro ng shows nirerecord niya like ‘yung ngayon, mga news, ganoon siya ka-supportive,” said the statuesque actress.

Isabel is very close to John’s family and she shared that the Prats family extended its full support for her and John.

“Sabi naman ni Tito at Tita, ‘yung mommy at daddy niya na basta mahalin mo lang talaga si John, okay na kami. At saka mag-aral kang magluto sabi ng mommy niya,” said Isabel.

John quipped, “Mag-aral kang magluto. Kapag busog ang asawa mo, happy life.”

John’s sister, Camille, couldn’t be any happier for the newly engaged couple.

She said, “This is a new adventure in his (John) life, so excited kami for them kasi sobrang happy nila together and we all know that they’re really gonna be a great couple and they’re gonna be great parents to their kids.”

When do John and Isabel plan to get married?

“Well, we haven’t talked about it kung when kasi sobrang ina-absorb lang naming dalawa ngayon ‘yung proposal, but siya na ‘yun. Siya na ‘yung magpa-plan. I don’t know, wala pa talaga kaming idea. One step at a time,” said John.

Isabel added, “April or May, ganoon siguro. 2015.”

The couple also said that they would like to have three kids.

The sweet couple also gave loving messages to each other.

John told Isabel, “I want to be the best for you and marami pa tayong adventures together and I can’t wait for our kids. Doon ako really excited and you are gonna be a good mom.”

Isabel replied, “Kahit anong mangyari, nandito lang ako and I will always love you kahit ano man, basta ganyan ka lang. I-maintain lang natin ‘to, bro.”
