After sharing his wedding photos exclusively on PUSH, (<a href="https://k-push.abs-cbn.com/2019/6/18/photos/exclusivee-makisig-moraless-beautiful-beach-weddi-210339">LOOK: Makisig Morales’ beautiful beach wedding in Australia</a>) Makisig Morales shared how he came to be married at just 22 years old. “Nag-decide ako na gawin ito early kasi in my point of view, bakit mo pa patatagalin ang pagiging mag boyfriend or girlfriend kung dun din naman hahantong sa kasalan? Minsan kasi nabubulag tayo na siya na yung blessing na binigay ni Lord pero hindi pa natin nakikita. Isang advice din po sa akin ni papa na huwag na patagalin pa kasi pag pinatagal na hindi kasal, mas prone sa temptations at alam niyo parehas na may limitations kayo sa isa’t isa. Kaya I considered my Dad’s advice din,” he told PUSH.Makisig said his decision to propose to Nicole Joson had the blessing of his parents who are also based in Australia. “Nag-propose ako nung parehas kami nasa Perth. I took her sa C Restaurant in the Sky which is a revolving restaurant na kita mo yung top view ng Perth city. Hindi niya alam na I was going to propose, kakain lang kami dun at dapat nag-dress up siya, ako naman suit and tie. Then out of nowhere, bigla niya ako tinanong, ‘Bakit kailangan naka ganung damit? Mag-popropose ka ba?’ Sabi ko lang medyo sosyal kasi dun kaya ganun dapat ang attire. So dumating na kami sa restaurant, kumain ng three-course meal at na-timbrehan ko na yung waiter na magdadala ng ring na nakalagay sa plate saying ‘Will you marry me?’ Lumapit yung waiter, nilapag yung plate na nakatakip sa table, then hindi pa ako nakaka-compose ng sarili ko, biglang in-open na agad ni kuya waiter. So basically, parehas kami nagulat ni Nicole (laughs). Hindi niya expected na I was going to propose. Ako naman di ko expected na i-o-open agad ni kuya di pa ako nakakaluhod. Pero it went well. She said yes,” he recalled.Their beautiful and intimate wedding was held in La Perouse, Sydney on a cliff overlooking the ocean. “Nicole and I decided na all-white at beach look or outfit, dahil nakita namin yung venue and naisip po namin na yun ang magandang look. On my wedding day, to be honest, I had mixed emotions. Sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko. Sobrang thankful lang ako kay Lord kasi lahat ng ginawa o ginagawa niya sa buhay natin may rason. Nicole really is a blessing to me,” Makisig said.The former Super Inggo star admits he has matured a lot since tying the knot. “Siguro mas mag-ma-mature kami in the way you see life. Maraming sacrifices na kailangan gawin at siyempre give and take. Masarap din sa pakiramdam na legal kayo at ang both side ng family namin ay naka support din sa amin. Pero ang pinaka importante ay laging Christ-centered ang relationship. Kasi kahit pinag-isa na kayo ni Lord, hindi niyo pa rin kaya ang mundo kung wala siya,” he said.Growing up in a family with nine siblings, Makisig said he will let his wife decide when to start their own family. “Medyo pinag-iisipan na din namin at pinag-pe-pray. Si Lord God may perfect timing Siya, itinataas lang namin lahat ng plans namin sa Kanya. How many? Depende po kay Nicole. Kaso sabi niya idol niya si mama (laughs). Pero sa ngayon working kami Nicole and focused sa mga career namin,” he shared. Currently, Makisig and Nicole are based in Sydney where they get to work together in the same place. “It’s a win-win situation para sa akin kasi nagagawa ko yung gusto ko at the same time, kasama ko pa yung mahal ko,” he added.
