Aga, Charlene celebrate 19 years of marriage
In the middle of a crisis, with parts of the country on lockdown, May 28 will forever be an important date for celebrity couple Aga Muhlach and Charlene Gonzales, for this is the date when they tied the knot.
“19 years of love, marriage and happiness… My forever and ever,” Charlene wrote as a caption to her Instagram account, showing off some photos of their union and other memories captured throughout the years.
“What a wonderful journey it continues to be. Happy 19th anniversary my Love, B… love you very much,” she continued.
It may just have been some simple words to share to the world, but like other couples, there is definitely more to the story of their marriage more than what the squared photos and written captions of Instagram show.
Charlene and Aga exchanged vows on May 28, 2001 and they have two children, the twins Atasha and Andres.
But back in 2013, Aga revealed to HOLA! Magazine that he and Charlene were not even at the dating stage when he proposed to her. He further talked about this delightful story in his guesting in the morning talk show Magandang Buhay in 2017.
“She was never my girlfriend. ‘Di ako nanligaw (I did not court her),” he said in the interview, sharing that he just reached a point of his life that he wanted to settle down and he wanted to have a wife. And that’s just when he thought of Charlene, his best friend.
Before leaving for Singapore for a shooting of their sitcom “Oki Doki Doc,” Aga said that he was so frantic in searching for a wife that he told his mom about it. “Alam mo sabi ng nanay ko (You know what my mother said)? ‘Sino, si (Is it) Charlene?’”
Aga was lost for words when his mom knew who he had in mind, in spite of not sharing a romantic relationship with Charlene. It looks like, the people around them already noticed how he treated Charlene differently, and found that his feelings were bound to be realized.
In the course of their three days of work in Singapore, Aga said that ‘there was so much love’ in him that he kept telling himself, ‘I’m gonna get you. You’re gonna be my wife.’ If Charlene rejected his proposal, Aga said that that is when he will court her.
“I just proposed to her. Nung naramdaman ko na (When I felt it),” Aga said.
