By Aedrianne Acar

StarStruck graduate Kris Bernal opened up about her postponed wedding which was supposed to happen on June 5.

The actress/entrepreneur got engaged to her non-showbiz boyfriend chef Perry Choi in February 2020, but due to the COVID-19 surge that happened between March and April, the couple made a difficult choice to postpone their wedding for everyone's safety.

Kris admittedly that the dream wedding that she was hoping for didn't happen and turned out to be one of the saddest days in her life.

Kris wrote: “June 5, 2021. The day I was supposed to turn from Ms. Bernal to Mrs. Choi and my supposed biggest day ever. ️We were supposed to get married today!

“I remember it was April when a sudden surge in COVID-19 cases happened and it reached around 12k or 15k a day so we decided to move our wedding instead. After careful consultation with our families, friends, and suppliers, it's with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we had to move the wedding to a later date because of the coronavirus surge.”

She added, “I remember crying so hard that day as I was having a hard time sending my cancellation message. I think it was one of the toughest decisions that I ever made but we need to prioritize the health and safety of the most important people in our lives.”

“Nonetheless, the important thing is, the wedding is not entirely canceled but moved to a later date and prioritizing the safety of everyone above anything else.”

As of June 6, data provided by the Department of Health (DOH) showed that the total COVID-19 case in the Philippines is now at 1,269,478, 59,337 of which are active cases. Deaths from the highly contagious disease are now at 21, 898.
