Action Star Robin Padilla and TV host Mariel Rodriguez plans to have a church wedding. Given that Padilla is a Muslim, he began to seek permission to the Vatican in order to pursue such plan.
He supposed that such goal was to be kept secret. However, his plan and purpose of visiting Rome was already unveiled.
It was recalled that last August 2010, the couple Robin Padilla and Mariel Rodriguez exchanged vows under the rites of the Muslims. It was in India where their marriage ceremony took place.
The Catholic authorities rightfully disagreed to the wedding plan of the celebrity couple which is set to happen this 2011. The Roman Catholic bishops knew that the two are of different faiths.
However, Robin made clarifications saying that he understood why several Catholic bishops made an objection. In fact, he was able to express his respect towards the bishops for he admits that his wife Mariel is a devoted Catholic.
Robin’s wife, Mariel, wanted to seek blessings from her church. Being a loyal husband, Robin Padilla is currently taking actions in order to grant his wife’s request believing that everything will soon work our right.
As a Muslim devotee, Robin stands on his principle that he doesn’t have to make arguments especially when the topic is about the sanctity of marriage.
During the interview, Robin also shared that he had met a Filipino working in Vatican City in Rome, Italy. He had that strong belief that Filipino Vatican workers will be helping him to achieve his plans.
But as of now, Robin is doing his best to work out Mariel’s wish of having a church wedding. They will go to Rome just in case their desired church wedding might not happen in the Philippines.
Robin and Mariel weren’t able to visit the Vatican City as of now due to their hectic work schedules. By the time that they will both have the Vatican’s approval, the showbiz couple will organize their church wedding right away.
