MANILA -- Actress Valerie "Bangs" Garcia on Tuesday revealed that she and her Filipino-British fiance Lloydi Birchmore are planning to have two weddings.

Garcia got engaged early this year with Birchmore in Boracay.

In an interview on "Magandang Buhay,” Garcia said that aside from a beach wedding in Boracay, they are also planning a second wedding in London.

"Sa Boracay kung saan kami nag-meet, kung saan siya nag-propose, doon din kami ikakasal. Pero we are also going to have our wedding in London soon," Garcia said.

Garcia the recalled how they met in the popular island paradise while she was vacationing with her friends.

"As in may pagka-movie talaga," she noted. "Nung nag-meet kami, 'di niya alam na artista ako, which is good kasi mas genuine. Mas gusto ko 'yung hindi ako kilala."

"Para kaming nasa isang kwarto lang, na kami lang ang nag-uusap, pero we are in the middle of the crowd. Madaming tao kasi New Year's time 'yon, pero di na namin napapansin ang tao sa paligid. Parang we are just having our own little world, talking about life na," Garcia narrated.

In a previous interview, Garcia said they are planning to get married early next year.

"Halos 80% sa checklist, tapos na," she said on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Garcia said that being in a long-distance relationship had made her closer to God.

"Honestly, my relationship with God got deeper. Parang I felt super blessed because. for me, he is the best gift I've ever received. Everything else for me I consider it just a bonus," she mused.

"I must done something really good for me to be blessed with an amazing man like him. Madaming nagtatanong kung bakit daw ako blooming ngayon. Actually the real answer is: the root of my happiness is God and Lloydi is the fruit."
