6 months later – April 5, 2025
Leni took a month-long leave to prepare for her and Risa's wedding. During that time, Kiko acted as the president again and it was also campaign season so no one noticed her absence because they were busy with their political candidates.
She and her daughters Aika and Tricia as well Risa and her children went to Glasgow 2 weeks ago to run some errand for the wedding. Jillian who is working in New York joined them 3 days ago as well as Jorge who was studying at Oxford Law School.
The Robredo sisters are wearing a pastel pink cocktail dress covered with a pastel pink Filipiniana top while the Hontiveros-Baraquel girls are wearing the same design but in a pastel purple color. Kiko, Risa's eldest is wearing pastel purple Barong Tagalog.
Leni is wearing a white Filipiniana mermaid gown with a corset bodice which highlighted her curves and accentuated her waistline. On the other hand, Risa wore a white Filipiniana A-line gown with a plunging neckline on the bodice which gave emphasis on the upper part of her body.
The two were in different suites in a hotel in Glasgow and they will be wed in a local church there. The Church of Scotland allows same sex couples to be married in their wedding ceremony.
Leni was the first one to walk down the aisle accompanied by her youngest daughter, Jorge and she looks so stunning in her wedding dress. While Leni was holding her daughter's hand while walking down the aisle, her heart is filled with so much joy because today, she and Risa will finally be one.
While Leni and Jorge are walking down the aisle, Jillian is singing the song "Until I Found You" by Stephen Sanchez
Leni, wrap me up in all your
I want you in my arms
Oh, let me hold you
I'll never let you go again like I did
Oh, I used to say
Leni did not expect that Jillian was to sing on her wedding and she even did her own rendition of the love song.
I would never fall in love again until I found her
I said, "I would never fall unless it's you I fall into"
I was lost within the darkness, but then I found her
I found you
Leni and Jorge reached the aisle and she kissed her youngest daughter who made her way to the right side of the church and they waited for the whole entourage to finish the processional march.
After the entourage, the door of the church closed and an unfamiliar song was played.
All of my life
I thought I was right
Looking for something new
Stuck in my ways
Like old-fashioned days
But all the roads led me to you
Leni looked at her youngest daughter's direction and found her singing the song "I Choose You" by Alessia Cara
The house that you live in don't make it a home
But feeling lonely don't mean you're alone
People in life, they will come and they'll leave
But if I had a choice I know where I would be
Just in time when the chorus was to be sang, she saw Risa walking down the aisle and this time, it will be towards her.
Through the lows and the highs, I will stay by your side
There's no need for goodbyes, now I'm seeing the light
When the sky turns to grey and there's nothing to say
At the end of the day, I choose you
Through the lows and the highs, I will stay by your side
There's no need for goodbyes, now I'm seeing the light
When the song was about to finish, Risa finally arrived in front of Leni and she will be given up to her by her son, Kiko.
"I know you will take care of my mama, Tita Leni." Kiko told her
"You can call me Mama from now on, Kiko." he told him
"I am so happy for you both, Mama and Mama Leni." Kiko said and kissed Leni on the cheeks and handed Risa's hands over to her
While the couple are walking to the minister, Jorge is singing the last part of the song.
Through the lows and the highs I will stay by your side
There's no need for goodbyes, now I'm seeing the light
When the sky turns to grey and there's nothing to say
At the end of the day, I choose you
Oh, I choose you
I choose you
It is now for the two of them to pronounce their vows.
"My Maria Leonor, I take you as my lawfully wedded wife. For better or worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish and obey. Until death do us part. I promise to always stay by your side and be your support system. If I will be given the chance to go through what I have experienced in the past, I will never change the things that happened because it lead me to you." Risa said and smiled at Leni
"My Ana Theresia, I take you as my lawfully wedded wife. For better or worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish and obey. Until death do us part. I promise to choose you always even if the circumstances are unfavorable. If I have to do it all over again, knowing what we were about to go through, I will still do it because I know that I am safe with you. Everyone knows that I have had enough love from Jess to last me a lifetime but I will choose to experience the love that will last me a lifetime the second time around with you. There will be times that the stars will not align for us, the intensity of the love that I have for you may not be the same every single day but I promise to always choose you. Ana Theresia, may it be here or in another lifetime, I will always choose you." Leni said and squeezed Risa's hands that she is holding
"I now pronounce you, wife and wife! You may now kiss one another." the minister said and everyone cheered
"Mabuhay ang bagong kasal!" Aika chanted
"Mabuhay!"
"Mabuhay ang LenRisa!" Anje chanted
"Mabuhay!"
"LenRisa layaaaaaag!" Jorge screamed and everyone responded and cheered
