Lovely Abella just tied the knot with her husband Benj Manalo over the weekend, and their photos are absolutely beautiful!
But did you know that it only took them under two weeks to plan their ceremony?
According to their wedding organizer, Maxine Covar Events, they only had 10 days to make the couple’s dream wedding a reality. Despite the time pressure, they managed to pull through and create this breathtaking floral wonderland at the couple’s chosen wedding venue, Lemuria Gourmet Restaurant.
The 35-year-old actress stunned in a gorgeous Steph Tan wedding dress, which she revealed was made in just two days and was given to her as a gift by her Hello, Love, Goodbye costar Kathryn Bernardo.
Lovely and Benj married on January 23, a few weeks after the Ang Probinsyano actor proposed to her and her 12-year-old daughter on New Year’s Day. This is actually the second time that Benj proposed, the first time being last June 2019 when he surprised her during what she thought was just a music video shoot.
“Mrs. Na si Lovely!!! Mrs. Na si Lovely!!!!” Benj gushed in his Instagram post confirming the news.
Meanwhile, Lovely wrote in her own post: “Panibagong yugto na ng buhay ko pero habang tumatagal lalo akong naeexcite babe @benj sa lahat ng magiging chapter ng buhay natin.”
Congratulations to the couple!
