Paolo donned a barong featuring a stand-up collar complemented by off-white trousers.
In contrast, Jessica opted for a trumpet-style gown that accentuated her slim frame.

In a December 2022 interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), Mylene had nothing but nice words for Jessica.
“Jessica is an amazing woman. Ang bait-bait noon. Ang bait-bait noon sa mga anak ko,” said Mylene.
Interestingly, Paolo’s nuptial falls on the same date as his parents’ wedding 45 years ago.
MATCHING PERSONALITIES
Paolo and Jessica announced their engagement on December 8, 2022.
The engagement ring that Paolo gave Jessica was an heirloom he inherited from his grandparents.
In July this year, Nice Print released photos taken from Paolo and Jessica’s prenup pictorial.

“I am the luckiest man alive, because I’m with the most gorgeous woman in the world,” Paolo, who shared the photo on Instagram, wrote.
Paolo met Jessica while he was handling marketing operations for restaurants and bars on the side to complement his showbiz career.
“May time na pinagsasabay ko yung showbiz tsaka negosyo,” Paolo told entertainment reporter Allan Diones in an interview months ago.
Jessica, meantime, was working as a country manager for a liquor brand.
“Nung time na yun, siyempre nilalako niya sa bar. Nung nakita ko siya, may common friends kami, nakilala ko siya,” Paolo added.
Paolo messaged Jessica directly and the two started going out soon after.

“Nag-click lang kami. Something just clicked. Ang joke nga namin is siya yung babaeng version ko, e — kuwela, puwedeng seryoso. Yung mga jokes namin kahit walang tumatawa, siya tatawa siya, alam mo yun,” said Paolo.
Coincidentally, Paolo’s father and Jessica’s dad were classmates during college.
“Tapos meron pang effect na yung isang pinsan niya na I met, na older than her, when I met them, yung asawa niya pinsan ko pala, second cousin ko naman. So nagdurugtong-dugtong lahat, small world.”
Paolo’s relationship with Jessica is not his longest but, according to the actor, “is the smoothest,” making him realize that she’s indeed the one for him.
