Director Paul Soriano and Toni Gonzaga Finally Tied the Knot

Actress- host Toni Gonzaga finally tied the knot with long time boyfriend director Paul Soriano on Independence Day, June 12, 2015, at the United Methodist Church in Rizal where the actress grew up.

Born as  Celestine Cruz Gonzaga, the 30 year old actress went down the aisle with a regal wedding gown created by Vera Wang. Toni Gonzaga shared that she had always admired the American designer’s wedding dresses and even visits Wang’s boutique in New York whenever she is in town.

The dashing director on the other hand sported Hugo Boss suit and tie as he arrived in church at 2pm while his bride arrived after almost an hour. As the bride was met by the groom, Soriano shouted ‘I love you Celestine’, which is a reenactment of the Gonzaga’s TV commercial with Piolo Pascual. The said commercial started to boost Gonzaga’s career.

Actor- singer Gary Valenciano, one of the principal sponsors, sung in the ceremony. His wife recalled that Toni vowed to her husband will never be alone again.

The solemn ceremony was filled with stars. Some of the principal sponsors are Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., Mayor Joseph Estrada, Sarangani Rep. and boxing icon Manny Pacquiao, ABS-CBN chair Gabby Lopez, ABS-CBN president and CEO Charo Santos-Concio, Tony Award-winning singer-actress Lea Salonga, TV host Kris Aquino, Vicki Belo and Boy Abunda.

Soriano proposed to Gonzaga in the actress’ home after her post birthday party. Soriano shared that Alex, Toni’s sister, and their mother had been present during the proposal. Inday Bote star, Alex Gonzaga, is her sister’s maid of honor.
