Arroyo daughter gets married in Tagaytay

MANILA, Philippines - Presidential daughter Evangeline Lourdes "Luli" Arroyo on Wednesday married boyfriend J. Aloysuis Luigi Bernas at about 5 p.m. in Tagaytay City, an exclusive report by GMA's 24 Oras said. The wedding which lasted for an hour and 15 minutes had few visitors. The report said it could have been possible that only the family members of the couple attended the wedding. Only 10 cars were spotted parked around the church's parking lot and only few members of the presidential body guards were seen in the area. GMANews’s Sandra Aguinaldo said Luli had wanted to keep her life away from public eye. Luli was seen holding her father's - First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo - hand as she walked to the altar. After the wedding, the groom was seen raising his hands as if in victory. Luigi is a former investment banker and a former official of the Ayala Foundation, the report said. Luli’s brothers – Pampanga Rep. Juan Miguel “Mikey’ Arroyo and Camarines Sur Rep. Diosdato “Dato" Arroyo - were not seen in the event. The report said the two were currently abroad. The wedding took place a day after the First Gentleman said he would give his blessings to his 37-year-old lone daughter Luli should she decide to marry her boyfriend. Mr. Arroyo neither confirmed nor denied the rumored wedding, but he said he has no problem with Luli’s boyfriend. “He’s a nice guy," Arroyo said when asked about Luli’s boyfriend during his visit to beneficiaries of his charity program at the Philippine General Hospital on Tuesday. Luli is the second child of the Arroyo couple. When asked if he would agree with Luli’s marriage, Mr. Arroyo said: “Oh yes I’ll approve it," adding, “Of course I’d like to see her get married also. I want to have grandchildren from her." - GMANews.TV
