Bea Alonzo, Dominic Roque now engaged

Celebrity couple Bea Alonzo and Dominic Roque are now engaged.

Bea shared the happy new on social media, Wednesday, July 19, sharing photos taken during Dominic’s proposal, which, according to her, took place Tuesday, July 18 in Las Casas.

Bea related that she was there for a shoot with Mark Nicdao.

She “found it odd” when Mark kept telling her to turn around at one point, insisting he needs a shot of the “back side” of her dress. 

When she obliged, it was then that she saw “Dom kneeling with a box in his hand.”

She added with a laugh, “I have done so many proposal scenes in my entire career, but nothing beats the real thing. I have been doing it all wrong!”

As to how she felt at the exact moment that Dom proposed, she recalled, “it’s like time stood still.”

“Everything went in slow motion. And I felt different emotions all at the same time — joy, excitement, love. I started bawling,” she added, noting she “didn’t want that moment to end.”

“I want this real thing to happen forever… and right then there… In front of the people we love… we decided on forever,” she ended her caption.

Celebrities were quick to congratulate the couple.

These include Andrea Brillantes, Coleen Garcia, Angelica Panganiban, Maja Salvador and Heart Evangelista, among many others. — Neil Ramos
