Standing as one of the most inspiring couples this Pride Month, they held an intimate Danish ceremony that was a beautiful, authentic reflection of the deep bond they share.</p><p>The couple&#x27;s story began in 2019 when mutual friends set them up without sharing names or photos, leaving it to fate. &quot;When we were being set up, we didn’t even ask them for a photo, social media username, not even a name—we kind of left it up to fate,&quot; Belle recalled. </p><p>Over seven years, they built a life filled with adventures and routines. &quot;We love vacationing and trying new active things!&quot; she shared. Their ideal Sunday includes a deep-tissue massage at a local spot, followed by their favorite Chinese restaurant. Every detail of their wedding beautifully resembled their personalities.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781157078314260528-BD-231.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781157105955260528-BD-238.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781157200736260528-BD-246.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781157307535260528-BD-249.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781157342437260528-BD-253.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><p>When asked how long they had prepared for their special day, the married couple’s immediate response was, “We only had 4 months!” </p><p>Despite the intense time constraints, they managed to pull off the dream celebration by keeping the ceremony beautifully intimate. However, the short timeline wasn&#x27;t their only hurdle. “And being Filipino adds a little more layer of challenge to it,” they shared, opening up about the unique logistics of planning a destination wedding since same-sex marriage is currently not legal in the Philippines. </p><p>Explaining why they had to do everything in such a short time, Belle said, “Obviously, we can’t do it legally at home, and second, visas, of course! The agency that would arrange our paperwork won’t move if you don’t have the visas, and your application to be married in their government isn’t also guaranteed to be approved, so it was really a time crunch for us once we got a final approved date.”</p><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781157559976260528-BD-003.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781157661415260528-BD-027.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781158225339260528-BD-006.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781157703376260528-BD-048.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781157740057260528-BD-060.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781157875559260528-BD-100.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781158055839260528-BD-082.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781158096560260528-BD-140.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781158134018260528-BD-053.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781158173697260528-BD-144.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><p>The couple simplified their wedding planning by allowing the destination to dictate their theme. They opted for a minimalist, organic hygge style that fit Denmark’s cozy aesthetic, stating, “The destination <em>is</em> the decor.”</p><p>Embracing local charm in Helsingør, they found beauty in the town’s cafés and scenery. They also included Danish customs, noting, &quot;When the guests clink their glasses, the couple will kiss standing on a chair,&quot; with stomping feet meaning a kiss under the chair. This tradition, they said, signifies &quot;visibility of your love—so important for us as queer women.&quot;</p><p>Aside from the beautiful coastal views, the best part of planning was, they shared, &quot;Honestly, how supportive the creative community was. So many friends in the industry offered us the gift of their talents… our photographer friends, glam, stylists, etc., and we could really feel the love.&quot; </p><p>They also discovered who was truly there for them, noting, &quot;Another one is finding out which people in your life are so enthusiastically present for your love.&quot; Their friend Chely, as their shared “woman of honor,” went above and beyond during planning and the day itself.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781158389457260528-BD-152.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781158524059260528-BD-153.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781158568978260528-BD-155.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781158618278260528-BD-160.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781158661701260528-BD-164.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781158733818260528-BD-168.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781158790241260528-BD-188.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781158825101260528-BD-213.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Belle and Deng emphasized the secret to a perfect day, saying, “The whole thing should feel the most YOU, and never just because ‘it’s supposed to be this way,’ or just to fulfill tradition.” </p><p>For them, this meant swapping a cocktail hour for a morning &quot;brunch hour&quot; since they aren’t big drinkers. They also advised, “If you’re giving your guests favors, make it relevant to you as a couple, the destination if it holds significance, and somehow functional as well!”</p><p>Their wedding style was a masterclass in meaningful, retro-inspired fashion, featuring two distinct looks. For the first one, Belle wore a short, vintage-silhouette dress by <strong>Martin Bautista</strong> with a dramatic veil inspired by vintage bridal sketches. “I love that Martin came up with something very wearable and comfortable but had all these pretty details,” she shared. </p><p>Deng complemented her look in a three-piece set by <strong>Randolf</strong>, with their 14 pets hand-embroidered on Deng&#x27;s top and Belle&#x27;s second veil, so they &quot;were with us in spirit!&quot; For her second look, Belle chose to rewear a custom basque-waist piece by <strong>Jro Alarcio</strong> that she felt &quot;deserved more love,&quot; while Deng switched to a sheer <strong>Jil Sander</strong> top.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781158952279260528-BD-259.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781158980081260528-BD-284.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781159037540260528-BD-297.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781159077420260528-BD-304.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Belle did her own makeup after a &quot;masterclass&quot; from her glam team, opting for a rosy, retro bombshell vibe. She noted, “I was just more confident that way...  I had my hair done by a local hairstylist, but before leaving, I had done trials of the look with my makeup artist Jason de los Reyes, and my hairstylist, Gab Villegas. They both gave me a little masterclass for the bridal look, and Gab made me a custom hair piece so the bang would not go in place. The bang is a wig!”</p><p>They shared a Dior lipstick, <strong>Rouge Dior Onstage in 222</strong>, to keep their shades the same when they kissed, with Belle noting, “We thought we could have our own lip combos, but the topper shade is the same, so it doesn’t change when we kiss. That’s a tip for the girls!”</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781159715847260528-BD-340.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781159756328260528-BD-341.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781159785109260528-BD-347.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781160144430260528-BD-290.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781159858347260528-BD-005.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781159902990260528-BD-014.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781159939371260528-BD-035.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781159965027260528-BD-277.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1781160007090260528-BD-041.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Their accessories were intentional; their wedding bands mirrored each other&#x27;s engagement rings to show they are &quot;very different individuals, but we reflect each other’s souls.&quot; </p><p>Deng wore a pearl belt bag and powder-blue <strong>Dr. Martens</strong> loafers as her &quot;something blue,&quot; while Belle added pops of color with a <strong>Swarovski </strong>choker<strong></strong> and <strong>Jimmy Choo</strong> Cherise 85 heels, all while carrying her bouquet in a unique Phalaenopsis bag from <strong>Sinta Studio</strong>.</p><p>Belle and Deng’s Danish wedding highlighted that true love flourishes when freed from tradition and expectation.
