Local celebrities who celebrate their wedding anniversaries on Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is an important day for lovers in its own right.
Some couples, however, took it to the next level by making Feb. 14 their wedding day. What's more befitting than making a lifetime commitment on the day of love?
Here are some local celebrities who decided to tie the knot on Feb. 14—for a lifetime of love and an everyday celebration of Valentine's Day.
Heart Evangelista and Chiz Escudero
Heart Evangelista, who’s also celebrating her birthday on Valentine’s Day, married Chiz Escudero in a church ceremony in 2015 on Balesin Island in Polilio, Quezon Province.
Their principal sponsors include GMA Network Chairman and CEO Felipe Gozon, President and Chief Operating Officer Gilberto Duavit Jr., and Congressman Gilberto Duavit Sr., 24 Oras anchor Mel Tiangco, Viva Entertainment boss Vic Del Rosario, and actors Susan Roces, Eddie Garcia, and Jackie Lou Blanco.
Celebrity guests included Lovi Poe, Solenn Heusaff, and Carla Abellana.
On their ninth anniversary, Heart and Chiz renewed their vows in the same venue in an intimate ceremony.
Kryz Uy and Slater Young
Kryz Uy and Slater Young got married on Valentine’s Day in an intimate church wedding at the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Sacred Heart Parish in their hometown Cebu.
A resort wedding ceremony and reception followed on Feb. 16 at Shangri-La Mactan Resort and Spa.
The content creator and Pinoy Big Brother winner’s big day had a floral theme with mostly white hues.
Some of their celebrity guests included PBB alumnus Sam Milby and Cornerstone Entertainment producer Erickson Raymundo.
Kryz and Slater now have three children. In an Instagram post, she commemorated their five years together by sharing their wedding photos.
"Time to take out the wedding albums," she said, "best years of my life and many more to come."
Maja Salvador and Rambo Nuñez
Though Maja Salvador and Rambo Nuñez married in Bali in Indonesia on July 31, 2023, they’ve already tied the knot on Valentine’s Day in a civil wedding.
Maja told Preview they’re supposed to get married only once, but local laws don’t honor destination weddings.
Their Feb. 14 wedding was held at a hotel in Manila with only 60 guests, who were allowed to take photos and videos but could not share them online.
The July ceremony had star-studded guests, including Joshua Garcia, Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla, Arjo Atayde, Maine Mendoza, Janella Salvador, Adrian Alandy, Sarah Labati, Richard Gutierrez, Precious Lara Quigaman, Marco Alcaraz, John Lloyd Cruz, and Isabel Santos. Civil Service Commission Karlo Nograles and ABS-CBN President and Chief Executive Officer Carlo Katigbak was also there.
In an Instagram post, Maja shared monochrome photos of their wedding.
“5 years together[,] 1st year as Mr. & Mrs. Nuñez,” she wrote. “I love you Dada.”
Maja and Rambo announced their pregnancy on Dec. 1.
Alodia Gosiengfiao and Christopher Quimbo
Alodia Gosiengfiao and Christopher Quimbo wedded on Valentine’s Day and held their reception at the Marriott Hotel in Pasay City last year.
It was filled with white flowers, hanging floral installations, and fairy lights against a grand botanical backdrop.
Their principal sponsors include business tycoons Hans Sy and Robina Gokongwei-Pe, Sen. Cynthia Villar, her husband, former senator Manny Villar, Dr. Vicky Belo, and Hayden Kho.
Guests included Alodia’s fellow content creators like Cong TV, Camille Co, and Laureen Uy.
The gaming icon’s wedding included the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra’s rendition of Final Fantasy VII’s battle theme.
Alodia on Instagram shared an artwork of her and her husband with the caption, “Love is our greatest adventure, and every day with you feels like Valentine’s Day.”
“my forever duo in game and IRL,” she added.
