  to be married on October 23rd in Guárico

Gabriela Spanic and Miguel de León have set the date for their wedding.  It will be this coming October 23rd when they finally arrive at the altar with all the protocol and elegance characteristic of a sensational wedding.  The church ceremony will take place in the town of Ortiz, located in the state of Guárico.  This is the town where the actress grew up and the church is precisely the one where she was baptized, received first holy communion and was confirmed.

The news was released by the couple during the Miss Venezuela rehearsals in the Poliedro, where the future bride has a special participation in the "Marilyn Monroe" number along with Carolina Perpetuo, Fabiola Colmenares, Sonya Smith and Viviana Gibelli among others.  Miguel de León was closely observing his beloved rehearse when we approached him.  He, of course, confessed how immensely happy he feels.  "The wedding, at last, will take place on October 23rd.  I didn't want to wait any longer but we've been very busy.  I also had to wait for my divorce papers but everything is set now.  I'm very happy and very much in love."

We proceeded to ask him about the details.  He confirmed the ecclesiastical ceremony will be in Ortiz.  In addition we were able to find out the reception will be held in the Eurobuilding.  The rest of the details haven't been worked out yet by the people from "Sábado Sensacional" who will be the ones selecting the entertainment.
