mga pagmumuni ni carmen

I still can’t get over the wedding of a 30-year-old actor to a 60-year-old columnist. I was reading the comments on an article covering the controversial news and I couldn’t help but laugh at some of the comments.

“May silbi na ang long running joke title na movie ‘diligan mo ng suka ang tigang na lumpia,’” wrote one Pepster.

Some were hopeful.

“Kaya tayo mga lola wag mawalan pag-asa makabingwit ng bata pag tayo maging 60 yo na…ngayon pa lagn pag iipunan ko na toh!”

Some defended the happy couple’s choice.

“Why naman would it be disturbing? basta wag nyo lang problemahin ang iba, try nyo, you won’t be affected lolz…”

Not a few questioned his motives. Those who scoffed at the groom’s transparent attempt to get a greencard were almost outnumbered by those who deplored his obvious play for her money. Kinder souls said he must have been after companionship only while some commented that this being his second marriage, he must have problems with his affection.

Is it so hard to believe that maybe, just maybe, they married for love?
