Karylle wants a beach wedding for Zsa Zsa, Dolphy

Karylle said she wishes her mom, Divine Diva Zsa Zsa Padilla, and her longtime partner Dolphy will have a beach wedding.

The young singer-TV host also said Padilla dreams of the same thing.

She, however, hopes that her mom and Dolphy will not take the plunge while she is in Singapore where she will stay for 4 months to shoot scenes for the Asian TV series "The Kitchen Musical."

She said she is willing to serve as their wedding coordinator.

Padilla’s marriage to Karylle’s father was annulled recently but the Divine Diva has yet to announce whether she and Dolphy will tie the knot.

Meantime, Karylle said she is happy that her parents are now in good terms.

"This is a time for healing. A sad time as well because of the closure, but I am happy that my wish has been fulfilled, that communication lines are now open again," she said.
