Before the announcement, Karylle and Yael were both mum and remained evasive when asked about the circulating rumors about their wedding. 

"I think it’s in recognizing that you have great things in your life and you start being thankful and everything flows easily. Wala nang mga blocks. Life is great," Karylle told ABS-CBN News.

"Basically, every day is an ultra blessed... Kasal, eventually. It will get there. Very soon maybe, you’ll never know," Karylle's boyfriend Yael Yuzon said in a follow up.

Karylle and Yael became close in 2010 and eventually became a couple three years ago. It was Karylle's mother Zsa Zsa Padilla who opened to the public the romantic relationship between the two.

If the circulating rumors will serve us right, the wedding of Karylle and Yael will be happening on March 22, 2014.
