‘She’s my soulmate’: Alfred Vargas opens up about proposing to his wife again after 6 years

‘She’s my soulmate’: Alfred Vargas opens up about proposing to his wife again after 6 years

In an interview with theAsianparent, the actor turned politician opens up about proposing to his wife a second time

It was just supposed to be a business meeting, or at least that’s what Alfred Vargas led his wife Yasmine to believe. Though it was unusual for a Sunday—their “family day”–Yasmine tagged along.

They arrived at Lemuria restaurant and Alfred led Yasmine to the garden hall. It was there where he got down on one knee on the petal-strewn floor beneath an ark of fresh red roses, and asked his wife of six years to marry him again.

The violinist and guitarist played ‘Ngayon at Kailanman’. Their daughters Alexandra and Aryana presented a lovely bouquet to their mom, who was in tears, after she said Yes.

“Being married in Church is something Yasmine and I have always wanted,” Alfred told theAsianparent about his decision to propose a second time.

“For us, this is the real deal, exchanging vows in front of God,” he continued. “This deserves a worthy proposal first!”

Alfred and Yasmine met in 2008 and tied the knot in a secret civil wedding in August 2010; their Church wedding is set on July 2017.

The Actor-politician first shared the happy news through his official instagram account.

“I asked her: “Will you marry me in front of God?” She answered: “YES!!!” #foreveralfandyas #0723#churchwedding,” he wrote alongside the photo.

“She is simple and beautiful, candid and elegant, loving and caring, loyal and passionate. She’s my soulmate,” he told theAsianparent.

The incumbent Congressman gushed about what he loved most about his wife when theAsianparent caught up with him to congratulate him: “She is simple and beautiful, candid and elegant, loving and caring, loyal and passionate. She’s my soulmate.”

Transitioning from the entertainment industry into politics must not have been easy but Alfred managed to do so effortlessly, with the support of Yasmine.

When asked what the secret to a happy marriage is he simply shared what he believes is “a secret everybody knows but few follow”.

“Christ-centeredness, love and understanding. Everything else will follow if you have these,” assured Alfred.

They welcomed their first child Alexandra five years ago and Aryana a year later.

Though their parenting styles differ; Alfred describes himself and his wife as good cop and bad cop parents, they do have one thing in common when it comes to rearing kids; they’re both ready to do anything for the good of their children.

As for his biggest dreams for his girls, he answered simply. “(I want) them to know their talents and gifts in life and for them to reach their dreams no matter what they may be and be happy.”
