"Our eldest child is indeed married." At that a flurry of whispers could be heard coming from the crowd.
"They do live together as husband and wife in their own home, where we are keeping them company for the time being. They are in a very harmonious marriage and are very much in love." Emilio Reyes III announced.
"You may ask questions now." The host announced.
"Sir! When did they get married?" A reporter asked.
"Five years ago." Emilio Reyes answered without hesitation. The crowd was shocked. All this while they thought that the couple had been married recently.
"Sir, is it an arranged marriage?" Another reporter asked.
"The Reyes family never engages in such things. We believe our children have the right to marry for love." Emilio answered.
"Does that apply for Miss Ayanna as well?" The reporter asked.
"Yes." Emilio answered.
"Sir, is the young Mrs. Reyes from a reputable family?" A reporter asked.
