John and Nicole’s wedding
The love story that had its beginnings in Cagayan de Oro city culminated in an elegant afternoon wedding at the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral. Lady dentist Nicole, daughter of Nicolas and Amy Neri of Camiguin and Cagayan de Oro, chose to wed in Cebu which she considers her second home, having lived here for sometime during her school years and early dental practice. On the other hand, John Noble, the son of Raul and Aida of the Noble-Tan political clan of El Salvador (a progressive city in CDO), offered no objections because he lovingly says, "what Nicole wants, Nicole gets."
