RERE MADRID opened up about how it was one of her biggest dreams to get married, expressing gratitude to her now husband, Gilas Pilipinas player Kai Sotto, for fulfilling it.
The actress spoke about this while showing more moments from their recent civil garden wedding held in Alfonso, Cavite, through her Instagram page on Thursday, May 28.
“Even before, pangarap ko na talagang ikasal. I still remember nung 18th birthday ko, tinanong ako kung anong theme yung gusto ko for my debut, and I said gusto ko parang bride yung vibe,” she recalled. “Kasi even back then, alam ko na hindi madaling makahanap ng totoong pagmamahal.”
“That’s why I never expected na at 25, ikaw [Kai Sotto] pala yung tutupad sa isa sa biggest dreams ko,” she addressed the basketball player.
Madrid thanked Sotto for turning a dream—that she once thought was “impossible”—into a reality, and for making her feel loved every day.
“Thank you for never letting our relationship fall apart, even during the days when everything starts to feel unclear. Thank you for always reassuring me, for building my trust, and for accepting me wholeheartedly,” she continued.
“Ang dami pa nating pagdadaanan together — beautiful moments, hard days, and everything in between. But one thing I promise you is this: habang buhay kong hahawakan yung kamay mo,” she vowed. “No matter where life takes us, gusto ko tayo pa rin yung magkasamang haharap sa lahat.”
