MANILA, Philippines – Actor Arthur Solinap made sure to give his fiancée, former SexBomb Girls dancer Rochelle Pangilinan, a memorable wedding engagement on Saturday, February 20.
As seen in a video posted by Nice Print Photography, Arthur, with talent manager Perry Lansingan and the staff of Nice Print, went ahead to check out the Balay Indang Resort in Cavite. (READ: Actress Rochelle Pangilinan engaged)
Arthur also documented the days leading up to the proposal. He also went to the cemetery to pay his respects to Rochelle's late father.
The couple's friends, including Gabby Eigenmann, Jolina Magdangal, and husband Mark Escueta – as well as Rochelle's friends from the SexBomb Girls group – were present to witness the memorable occasion.
On the day of the proposal, when the two arrived, Arthur pretended to excuse himself to the washroom. Rochelle was asked to go to the gazebo area, where Arthur was waiting for her.
Arthur then said: "Ayokong tumanda na hindi ka kasama... Okay lang basta magkasama tayo."
(I don't want to grow old without you by my side... Everything's okay, as long as we're together.)
He then knelt before Rochelle, asking her to be his wife. Rochelle, in tears, nodded yes. After the proposal, the couple watched the fireworks from the gazebo.
On Sunday, Rochelle posted photos of the proposal on her Instagram account.
