MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – Fans got to watch the finale of the hit romantic comedy series On the Wings of Love live at the Ynares Sports Complex in Antipolo City on Friday, February 26. There, the show's main characters, Clark (James Reid) and Leah (Nadine Lustre) made a special appearance right after they walked the aisle and had their happy ending.
The two were in a tux and wedding gown, the same outfits they had worn during the finale on TV.
After performing a duet to the series' theme song – "On the Wings of Love" (sung by Kyla for the show) – James and Nadine, a real-life couple, shared a kiss.
Hosts Gretchen Ho and Robi Domingo later asked the newly married TV couple some questions.
Nadine, when asked how special James is in her life, glanced at him and said, “Gaano special? Tinatanong pa ba iyon? (How special? Is that still to be asked?)"
On the other hand, James said, “Nadine, she’s everything to me.”
Dozens of shrieking fans filled the stadium with a wall of sound, clearly feeling the the love that night.
The pair also thanked fans for supporting their show. James said, “We just want to say ‘thank you’ from the bottom of our hearts. We love you.”
Nadine added, "Maraming, maraming salamat mgaOTWOListas. Sabi ko na nga ba parang roller coaster ito. I’m sure nag-enjoy kayong lahat. Maraming salamat po. (Thank you very, very much, OTWOListas. This was such a roller coaster ride. I'm sure you all enjoyed it. Thank you very much.)"
The two also performed one of their hits songs, "Bahala Na," from their movie Talk Back and You're Dead. After, the rest of the On the Wings of Love cast joined them onstage to sing the Eraserheads' "Ligaya."

The cast members were also asked about their thoughts about the TV-turned-real-life couple.
Cherry Pie Picache (Tita Jacks) said, "Ano pa ang sasabihin natin? Eh, panalo! Achieve! (What else is there to say? This is a win! Achieve!)"
Bianca Manalo (Tiffany, Nadine’s sister in the show) said that she was happy, adding, "Kasi hindi naman namin akalain na magkakatuluyan silang dalawa! (Happy! We didn't know that they would really end up together)." She also added that many of her castmates knew at some point that James and Nadine’s relationship was blossoming into something more than friendship.
Before James and Nadine walked onstage, there were also performances by the rest of the On the Wings of Love cast and some special guests.
