<p>In recent years, vow renewals have become a meaningful way for married couples to celebrate their journey together—an intimate, non-legally binding ceremony where partners reaffirm their commitment, often held on milestone anniversaries. </p><p>For <strong>Pauleen Luna</strong> and <strong>Vic Sotto</strong>, renewing their vows was not just a celebration, but also a heartfelt way to honor each other and the people who have been part of their love story for the past decade.</p><p>Since tying the knot on January 30, 2016, Vic and Pauleen have managed to keep their relationship relatively private despite being constantly in the public eye.</p><p>Over the years, fans have only gotten glimpses of their marriage through short interviews and carefully shared moments on social media. Yet behind the scenes, their relationship has continued to grow quietly, steadily, and deeply.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769923106470METRO WEDDINGS VIC SOTTO PAULEEN LUNA 1 embed.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769858889739embed_DSCF1732.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859063579embed____DSCF1812.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769858930741embed_DSCF0854.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769858968259embed_KAN07717.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>From the time when their relationship first made headlines, to their engagement in 2015, and finally their wedding in 2016, their love story has unfolded with patience and intention. </p><p>Today, the couple shares two beautiful daughters, <strong>Tali</strong> and <strong>Mochi</strong>, who have become the center of their family life.</p><p>As they reached their 10th wedding anniversary on <strong>January 30, 2026</strong>, Vic and Pauleen revealed that they chose to mark the milestone with a vow renewal ceremony, a decision rooted in reflection and respect for their shared journey.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859090820embed_KANE9974.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859124879embed_DSCF9820.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859138360embed_DSCF9741.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859154180embed_DSCF9756.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859397698embed____KANE0006.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769862355010embed_KAN06636.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769862677232embed_KAN06758.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769862649951embed_KAN06798.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p>“For our renewal, we wanted something different from our first wedding. Ten years ago, we had a big wedding with 250 guests. This time we’re celebrating it with people closest to our hearts and people who stood by us the past 10 years,” Pauleen shared in an exclusive interview with <strong>Metro.Style</strong>.</p><p>While the renewal of vows may seem like a spontaneous romantic gesture, Pauleen revealed that the idea had actually been planted years ago, and surprisingly, it came from Vic.</p><p>She shared that Vic first mentioned renewing their vows when they were already eight years into their marriage, long before the actual planning began. As their tenth anniversary approached, the idea slowly became a reality.</p><p>“Fast forward to last year, we attended a wedding and felt so inspired to get married again! So I started to plan it around July, I think,” Pauleen recalled.</p><p>The planning officially began six months before the anniversary, in July 2025, giving the couple enough time to create the intimate, meaningful celebration they envisioned.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859235299embed____DSCF7804.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859252299embed____DSCF8644.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:left"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859274821embed____DSCF8523.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div style="text-align:left"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859294880embed____DSCF8219.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div><strong>‘Simple, intimate, and meaningful’</strong></div><p>True to their personalities, Vic and Pauleen were intentional about keeping the ceremony simple, elegant, and deeply personal. For the event design, Pauleen collaborated with renowned event designer <strong>Gideon Hermosa</strong>, marking their first time working together.</p><p>“I am so excited, though, to be working with Gideon Hermosa for the first time! I’m excited to see how he’ll execute my vision. Oh, Vic also wanted the same priest (<strong>Fr. Jeffrey Quintela</strong>, who is also our second daughter’s <em>ninong</em>) to wed us again,” she added.</p><p>The couple chose a theme that reflected not just their aesthetic preferences, but their relationship itself: “classic, elegant, and timeless.”</p><p>“No fancy anything, no princess gowns, no over-the-top décor. We want this celebration to be about us and about honoring one another and all the other people who love us,” Pauleen said.</p><p>From 250 guests at their wedding in 2016, the guest list was intentionally reduced to 78 people, making the renewal ceremony a truly intimate gathering of family and close friends who have witnessed their journey through the years.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859508059embed____DSCF8985.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><br/></div><div style="text-align:left"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859528281embed____DSCF9012.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859573618embed____KANE0932.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859592620embed____DSCF1993.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859648720embed_DSCF3673.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859676958embed_DSCF3385.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859704337embed_DSCF3865.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769859737259embed_KAN06564.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769863114133embed_KANE9505.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p style="text-align:left">Pauleen revealed that her vow renewal gown was intentionally the complete opposite of her first wedding dress.</p><p>“My first gown was beautiful and was fully beaded. This time, I wanted something simpler and timeless. I went to <strong>Rosa Clará</strong> knowing exactly what I want and I’m happy to find my renewal gown there,” she shared.</p><p>Vic, meanwhile, also made a last-minute decision to change his look. “He was supposed to wear a blue suit, but later changed it into a plaid maroon suit. He wanted to look different from the first wedding, that’s for sure!” Pauleen said with a laugh.</p><p>For the reception, Pauleen changed into another A-line wedding dress with dainty straps, crafted in soft tulle and with a bodice embellished in lace appliqués and beads, also by Rosa Clará.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769862908290embed_DSCF8363.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769862880570embed____DSCF8867.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769862945072embed_DSCF1393.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769863009051embed____KANE1061.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769863033172embed_DSCF2852.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769863077493embed_KANE1030.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><strong>Defined by respect</strong></div><p>Beyond the ceremony, the couple reflected on what they’ve learned in their ten years of marriage, and their realizations were just as simple and sincere as their celebration.</p><p>For Pauleen, the foundation of their relationship has always been respect. “It is possible to have a peaceful and happy marriage as long as you choose to respect, love, and truly accept one another. Not all days are pretty, and choosing to love and understand one another isn’t always the first choice, but it is the best choice,” she said.</p><p>Vic echoed the same sentiment, emphasizing one key word that has guided their marriage. “Most important thing I’ve learned about marriage is the importance of the word ‘compromise,’” he shared.</p><p>When asked what he loves most about Pauleen after a decade together, Vic didn’t hesitate. “Aside from the love and care she provides, I also appreciate the respect she has for me and my children,” he said.</p><p>For Pauleen, describing her love for Vic was harder to put into words, but she knows it’s deeply rooted in how he treats her.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769863178472embed_KANE0987.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769863209752embed_KANE0922.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:left"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769863253014embed_DSCF3882.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><p>“I believe that this marriage is built on respect, and that’s why things are so smooth. He treats me like an equal and does not limit my growth. He chooses me on top of everything and values my feelings before making a decision,” she shared.</p><p>As parents to two young daughters, Vic and Pauleen see their marriage not just as a partnership, but as a living example for Tali and Mochi.</p><p>Pauleen shared how meaningful it is to see Vic intentionally show their daughters what it means to love and respect a woman.</p><p>“I see how he intentionally shows our daughters what it means to be a loving husband, and that matters deeply to me because it’s going to shape the girls’ standards in the future,” she said.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769863300871embed_DSCF9091.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769863445153embed____DSCF8969.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1769924041445METRO WEDDINGS VIC SOTTO PAULEEN LUNA 2 embed a.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p>Reflecting on their journey, Pauleen concluded with gratitude and certainty about the love they continue to build.</p><p>“I can continue, and the list just goes on. I just feel so blessed that after 10 years of being married to each other, I can confidently say that I have grown more in love with him than ever before,” she concluded.</p><p>As Vic and Pauleen renew their vows, their celebration stands as a testament to a marriage built not on grand gestures but on everyday choices, “respect, compromise, and love,” proving that sometimes, the simplest foundations are the strongest ones.</p><div><br/></div><p>Photos by <strong>NicePrint Photo</strong></p><div><strong></strong></div><p style="text-align:left">Special thanks to <strong>Charisse Tinio</strong></p>
