When it happens (rumored to be sometime this year), the Judy Ann Santos-Ryan Agoncillo nuptials will be the biggest showbiz event of 2008.  What makes it believable is that people close to the couple do not refute its veracity.  Even Juday’s manager Alfie Lorenzo does not lift a finger to make a denial.  Now in her 30s, the once-upon-a-time child dramatic actress has been prodded by her own fans to go ahead and marry Ryan.  It was Juday’s friend, Giselle Sanchez, who was among the firsts to spill out the marital plans during a TV Patrol interview.
