CASE STUDY:
Sarah Geronimo and Matteo Guidicelli SARAH-
have a “secret marriage,” as the media
described it, last Feb. 20 at the Victory MATEO
SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT

Christian Fellowship Church, followed by WEDDING

a “secret” post-marriage dinner with
Matteo’s family and very close friends
(including Swatch Lady Virgie Ramos who
reportedly reserved the venue) at the
Ministry of Crab restaurant in Shangri-La
at the Fort, BGC.
40
However, Atty. Romy Macalintal
asserts that there is no such thing as
‘secret marriage’ because a marriage SARAH-
cannot be celebrated without at least MATEO
two witnesses and the person
SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT

WEDDING
authorized to solemnize it. Hence,
the Sarah-Matteo marriage cannot
be secret because of the presence of
those witnesses aside from
some friends or relatives who might
have been invited to attend the
ceremony. 41
He added that it might be “secret” to the
parents of the bride (Divine and Delfin)
but not to the entire world. It is a
common knowledge that Sarah’s SARAH-
parents are against Matteo (and all the MATEO
other actors linked to her before).
SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT

WEDDING
Was Sarah’s decision to marry Matteo,
morally right? Did she disobey her
parents? In Ephesians 6: 1-3 it says,
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord,
for this is right. Honor your father and
mother, which is the first commandment
with promise: that it may be well with
you and you may live long on earth.” 42
QUESTIONS:
SARAH-
If you were Sarah, MATEO
whom do you follow?

WEDDING

Your heart or the law of

God? Expound your
answer.
