How Christian Mark Jacobs met Francis Libiran

-




American businessman Christian Mark Jacobs recalled how he met his partner Filipino fashion designer Francis Libiran who both got married in Boracay last March 17.

On webgram, Jacobs remembered:

"I can vividly remember my very first day of class at FIP in September of 2005, when I chanced upon what I thought is a seriously geeky-looking, straight-acting designer on a corner. I thought to myself, hmmm yeah good looking… quiet… BUT NOT MY TYPE! I’m too beautiful for him. Hahahaha;"

"I really thought he was someone I could not go along well. Indeed, first impression never lasts. He finally breaks his silence with his crazy sense of humor and his propensity to hook you up into conversations… and that is when my friendship with Francis started;"



"After school, we always head out together to the MRT station. I go home to Makati and he makes his way to QC. That’s how we usually end our day. It was such a simple relationship;"

"Then our conversations grew deeper, our everyday walk to the train station extended, our time spent with each other in school lengthened, our support to each other became more mature. We became best friends;"

"I started with my career from scratch. Francis back then already had a brand of his own. In fact, one time in fashion school, I bought a Njork polo from a boutique and proudly wore it. Then I realized from classmates, he owned the brand! I was so naive that I did not even have the slightest clue:"



"Francis as I know him now and as I knew him then, with his achievements, is always modest enough to downplay himself – a truly down-to-earth person. When I was starting in the fashion business, Francis is always more than willing to mentor me in terms of what he knows about the industry;

"It was from him how I learned to initially manage my business and how to take care of people working for me. Even during times when I was about to give-up, he was there to constantly remind me that I shouldn’t just quit. That mistakes are there to learn from and that I have already come a long way. He was that guy shaking pompoms for me like a cheerleader!" said Jacobs.




Libiran and Jacobs exchanged vows in their sunset wedding dubbed "a celebration of love" in Boracay.

Family members of both couples, friends and celebrities joined the evening celebration hosted by TV Patrol entertainment reporter Gretchen Fullido.
Other stars in the occasion were reigning Miss International Kylie Verzosa, eventologist Tim Yap, television host Phoemela Baranda, action star Robin Padilla, and Kaye Abad.

Prior to the wedding, Libiran and Jacobs had a photo shoot in Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam. - Robert Requintina

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move. "Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

"Construction in my upstairs neighbor’s condo is driving us nuts! It’s been about a year na," said Cuneta on Facebook. Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding. It’s just that we have been told over and over for about a year already that it would take “just one more month or two na la
