Maja Salvador feels Matteo Gudicelli is the ‘one’ for her

MANILA, Philippines  - “Sana siya na. Sana last na si Matteo. Sana ‘di niya ako pakawalan.”

That’s Maja Salvador’s wish when asked if she feels she’d end up with her half Filipino-half Italian actor-car racer boyfriend, Matteo Gudicelli, at the altar during the media huddle for “Weddings & Debuts,” which will be staged at the SM Megatrade halls, 1, 2, 3 on Feb. 17, 18 and 19.

Maja shared she’s not rushing her altar date with Matteo, though, as she said she’ll tie the knot when she reaches 30.

“Hindi namin minamadali ang bawat…alam mo ‘yon, gawin sa isang relasyon. Dahan-dahan lang kami. Para lang kaming puppy love, textmate, soulmate kasi hindi kami halos nagkikita. Sa schedule po ay magkaiba kami ng trabaho. Thankful na lang kami at may movie kami together, ang ‘My Cactus Heart’ at doon na lang kami nagkikita,” she explained.

What endeared Maja to her boyfriend is his innate sweetness.

“Malambing siya,” Maja described. “Alam niyang pakiligin ang girlfriend niya. Alam niyang bumawi.”

What makes him different from other guys is that “kung ang iba po laging may bulaklak, siya iba.”

Then she rattled off Matteo’s show of sweetness.

“Kung puwede lang niyang punuin ang kuwarto mo ng bulaklak [ay gagawin niya]. Minsan nag-iiwan siya ng note. Kunwari malayo ‘yung location ko, meron siyang ipapadalang food. ‘Pag alam niyang pagod na pagod na ako, pagod din siya dahil kaka-pack-up lang ng ‘My Binondo Girl’ taping niya, ita-try niyang pumunta sa set ko para lang kumustahin lang kung okay lang ako.  Siya ‘yung laging nag-e-effort.”

Like other young couple, they, too, have terms of endearment for each other.

“Halos lahat naman po may tawagan. Kami po ay honey, love, lahat ng kalambingan. Kung ano lang po ‘yung mabigkas.”

If ever, Maja wants her church wedding with Matteo to be “simple, maganda and classic.”

Will she allow her home network to do a wedding coverage?

“Siguro may ibang parte na ibibigay ko sa public. Meron din naman ‘yung sa akin lang, sa amin lang.”

Given her and Matteo’s friendliness, Maja feels they will invite “around 400, 600 guests” to their wedding.

Incidentally, “Weddings & Debuts” 2012 is sponsored by wedding specialist Edd Sy, Nice Print digital photo and video services, AMI Jewels and Juan Carlo the Caterer.
