#Repost @shirleynilekuan with @repostapp. ・・・ Nope. Not a scene from a movie or teleserye! This one’s for real. Last night at the #Pamanhikan for Roy and Alyanna’s #RoyAlWedding2016. He stood up, raised his wineglass and said “I accept…” Then he could not continue anymore. He can’t find the words. A father’s love so gentle and strong… there’s just no words… It was the most poignant silence. @gretchenbarretto and I were in tears and smiling at the same time. Then he managed to finally break the long silence and said “Cheers!” That’s one moment he knew he needed Liezl by his side… @albertmartinez_ @alyannamartinez @roymacam #missingliezl #afatherslove #panganay #papasgirl

I wish my Lolo Bobby (Romeo Vasquez) could have still moved his flight back to LA so he could have joined us last night and that my Lolo, Daddy Joey Stevens was also still alive so we could have all been complete but none the less grateful my Lolo, Papang Bert Martinez was able to attend last nights #Pamanhikan for #RoyAlWedding2016 @niceprintphoto

Alyanna made sure to remember her mother Liezl, who died last year after a long battle with cancer. 

Of course no gathering is complete without Mama #RoyAlWedding2016

Last December, Alyanna confirmed that she and Roy were engaged. Roy proposed on her birthday while on a trip to Everest Base Camp. 

Surprised everyone last night at my #AlyannasTheBodyShopBirthdayBash that @roymacam and I were officially engaged and that he proposed on my 30th birthday last Dec. 3 when we reached #EverestBaseCamp #QueenBabyChanel @thebodyshopph

Now engaged to my best friend & forever adventure partner I am 30 *gulp* I made it to Everest Base Camp w/ my own two feet while the rest of the super hikers we started with didnt due to AMS (mountain sickness) And I am now engaged *double gulp* It is alot to take in and I am still trying to accept my new reality. But heres to a new and exciting chapter of my life and I cant wait to start it w/ you by my side @roymacam  P.S. I am still amazed my @idonailsservice gel nails lasted till Base Camp and back!
