Premise

edit

Andres "Andy" Taguyod, a seemingly perfect peg of a tough, macho man. He works as a bouncer in a "gimik" bar and provides for his kin; he does not aspire to be rich but his ultimate dream is to marry a woman he really loves.

When he met Matilde "Mat" Golpe de Oro, Andres knew that he has found the woman of his dreams. Matilde came from a well-off family and is a title holder in many beauty pageants. Although she was not initially attracted to Andres, circumstances brought them to each other's arms in a shotgun wedding.

One night, Matilde ended up in Andres' bed due to drunkenness and although nothing really happened between them, Matilde's grandmother made a big deal out of it. Lola Coring, played by Ms. Gloria Romero, insisted that the two get married despite the fact that she does not approve of Andres for her granddaughter.
