"And I would've preferred it that way talaga kasi ayaw ko nung... alam mo 'yung big event, publicized," Carla, for her part, said. "Alam mo 'yun, ang daming 'di ko kilala, ang daming tao. Ayaw ko nang ganun. Buti na lang 'di niya ginawa. And it was made even more special because Tom's family was there virtually, via Zoom."
