Kris Bernal and Perry Choi

After several delays and changes in their big day, Kris Bernal and Perry Choi are finally married, and their wedding hashtag, #PerryTaleNiKris, was every inch perfect for the fairy tale-like feels of their wedding day. The special occasion was held last September 25, with a ceremony at St. Alphonsus Mary De Liguori Parish; event stylist and florist Gideon Hermosa filled the church with sunflowers. Kris wore an intricate and regal Mak Tumang gown.

Angel Locsin and Neil Arce

Though news of their engagement was made in 2019, actress Angel Locsin and businessman Neil Arce still managed to surprise the public when they shared they already made it official last July in a civil union at the Taguig City Hall, presided by Mayor Lino Cayetano. They were supposed to kick off their wedding plans with a prenup shoot in Finland but travel restrictions got in the way. The two then decided to just get married in a “simple pero rock” way as described by Angel. No-fuss, low-key but love-filled, Angel got married in white blazer, basic top, trousers and sneakers. Her groom Neil was in white sweatshirt, black pants and sneakers too. They topped off the wedding day with an intimate reception at home (dressed up with a beautiful rustic theme), featuring favorites such as street food, milk tea and fries. The couple still plans to hold a church wedding.

Kaira Dimatulac and Miko Raval

Star Magic talent Miko Raval married Kaira Dimatulac in a simple ceremony on February 1, 2021 held in Bella Rosa Gardens, Tagaytay. They were together for nine years when they tied the knot. They were gearing up for a big wedding party with all of their favorite people in attendance, but then came COVID-19. And like so many other couples who had to switch gears in the snap of a finger, this Mr. and Mrs. soon realized that it was alright to let go of their "dream wedding." The dream, after all, was not the venue, the event, the long guest list, but rather, to be with each other for life and solidify their commitment to each other in a marriage. For their wedding day, the bride wore a gown by Heleyna while the groom was clad in a suit by Randy Ortiz.

Rocco Nacino and Melissa Gohing

We've heard of many original weddings cropping up around the metro as couples tie the knot amidst "unique" circumstances, but Rocco Nacino and Melissa Gohing's wedding atop a naval ship was a league of its own. The military man turned actor and volleyball player were married on January 21, and while it was their love that was the center of attraction at the intimate event, their ceremony venue, Brp Davao Del Sur Ld602 in Pier 13, sure came at a close second. For the ceremony, he donned an outfit called an "Alpha White Dress B," a.k.a. a uniform worn by men in the Navy for very special occasions; he later changed into a classic suit. She, on the other hand, was a Francis Libiran bride in an off-shoulder, figure-hugging wedding gown.
