Dahil kilalang-kilala niya ang mapapangasawa, Carla hatched a plan na paiyakin ang iyakin na ngang groom sa araw ng kanilang kasal. At twice siya nag-succeed!

Tagumpay sa kanyang plano ang aktres na si Carla Abellana na paiyakin ang kanyang now-husband na si Tom Rodriguez sa araw ng kanilang kasal.

The Kapuso couple exchanged I do’s on October 23 sa San Juan, Batangas at na-capture sa kanilang same-day edit video na in-upload sa YouTube channel ni Bob Nicolas kung paano napaiyak ni Carla ang kanyang mister.

“Iyakin ’yon [si Tom]. Naku, i-focus n’yo lahat sa kanya [ang camera], today. Papaiyakin ko ’yon, promise,” kumpiyansang lahad ni Carla sa video before the wedding.

May inilatag kasi s’yang surprise para sa aktor na may kaugnayan sa ama nitong si William Albert Mott Sr. who passed away in 2017.

“Hindi, kasi may mga surprise din ako sa kanya, e. Like ’yong sa church...the cowboy hat of his dad, his late dad, ilalagay ko sa tabi ng mom n’ya sa church,” pagbabahagi ni Carla.

“Tapos sa first dance namin isu-surprise ko din s’ya. Hindi n’ya alam daddy n’ya ’yong kakanta sa screen na ‘Wise men say only fools rush in…’ Iiyak ’yan… Hindi alam ni Tom… I will make you cry today.”

At nangyari nga ito noong nagpapalitan na sila ng vows. Binanggit kasi ni Tom ang challenges na pinagdaanan n’ya nang mamatay ang kanyang ama pero nanatili daw sa tabi n’ya si Carla.

“I can’t imagine my life without you from hereon. Because you’ve enriched my life in more ways than I can readily express,” pahayag ni Tom habang nasa harap sila ng altar.

“Like when dad passed, I have to admit I lost my faith, I lost my way. But your boundless capacity for love was the road that led me back into His arms.

“I know dad is with Him now but he would have loved to have been here.”

Dito na itinuro ni Carla ang cowboy hat ng daddy ni Tom sa tabi ng kanyang mom na nakapuwesto sa di-kalayuan.

“There he is,” naiusal pa ng Kapuso hunk at napatingin sa puwesto ng mommy n’ya.

Napa-second glance pa si Tom sa cowboy hat ng kanyang daddy at doon na s’ya bumigay.

Regaining composure, Tom went on: “So, here we are in front of all of our loved ones, and truth be told I need all of them here because I need to know none of this is a dream, that this angel standing before me really is mine and somehow she loves me deeply and completely.”

Nilo-look forward daw n’ya ang araw na tatanda silang dalawa nang magkasama.

“Heaven must have never been the same the day that you came down and graced my life. I want to be there to help raise our children at mga apo, both humans and fur babies alike,” ani Tom, who made it a point na isali sa vows ang pagiging dog lover ni Carla.

“Because I’ve often imagined what you would look like as a lola. Panigurado, magandang maganda, and I can’t wait to find out for myself.

“Pero ngayon, dito muna tayo. Dahil narinig ko na iyong matamis na sagot at excited na ako finally opisyal na ako si Mister at ikaw si Madam...Mott. I love you” pagtatapos n’ya.

(Tom Rodriguez’s real name is Bartolome Alberto Mott.)

Tugon naman ni Carla sa kanyang vow, si Tom daw ang katuparan ng dasal n’ya noon. Hindi nga lang daw n’ya alam at that time na ito na pala ang lalaking inilaan para sa kanya.

“Over eight years ago I prayed for you. But the thing is, back then I didn’t even know it was you I was praying for,” panimula ng aktres sa kanyang vow.

“I even completed Simbang Gabi, praying that I would finally meet the man who will love me unconditionally and take very, very good care of me.

“While I completed that Simbang Gabi I seriously never thought that the man I already prayed for was already so close to me, that we had already crossed paths months prior. We even played husband and wife for work.”

Bigla na lang daw n’ya ’yon naramdaman kaya thankful s’ya na mula Amerika ay muling umuwi ng Pilipinas si Tom kaya nagtagpo ang landas nila.

“I didn’t even have to pray anymore because God had already answered my prayer in advance. What a plot twist. God was constantly knocking on my head screaming, ‘He’s the one. Ano ka ba? Dasal ka nang dasal hindi ka naman nakikinig sa Akin? Hello?’” medyo pakwelang lahad ng aktres.

“Soon enough, it just hit me. It really, truly felt like my soul had found yours and it went, ‘Oh, there you are. I’ve been looking all over for you.’

“Tom, you returned to the Philippines with practically nothing but the hopes of a new life and a new career. Little did you know that you came back here carrying the most valuable treasure someone here in the Philippines has been praying and waiting for, your heart.”

Pangako n’ya, hindi lang daw kay Tom kundi pati na rin sa Mommy Teresita nito at sa kanyang late father, na aalagaan n’ya ang aktor for the rest of their lives together.

“My vow to you, as I become your wife today, is very simple. In fact, I vow not just to you but also to your mom and most especially to your dad, Tito Bill,” emosyonal na pahayag n’ya.

“I will keep my promise to him during his final moments here on earth that I will take good care of you so that he’ll never have to worry. I love you, Daddy,” umiiyak na pagtatapos ni Carla.

Makikita rin sa video na muling napaiyak si Tom sa wedding reception, during their first dance as a married couple nang makita n’yang ang old video ng kanyang amang kumakanta ang naka-play sa screen.
