Cristalle Belo reveals reason behind civil ceremony before grand wedding in Italy

Opisyal nang ikinasal ang anak ni Dra. Vicki Belo na si Cristalle Belo at ang kaniyang kasintahang si Justin Pitt sa isang civil wedding ceremony nitong nakaraang Huwebes, September 8, sa Manila Peninsula Hotel.

Matatandaang nakatakdang ikasal ang dalawa sa Lake Como, Italy, ngunit napag-desisyonan nilang magkaroon ng civil wedding para sa isang espesyal na tao.

“This celebration was really for my 92-year-old grandfather, Larry Henares, who is unable to fly to Lake Como to be with us on our wedding day. He is my only living grandparent. This smile is priceless!” pagbabahagi ni Cristalle.

Nakatakda na ngayong lumipad papuntang Italy ang mag-asawa at ang kanilang pamilya at mga kaibigan para sa isa pang wedding ceremony. 

“Remember how happy you are today and recapture the feeling every day,” simpleng payo ng celebrity dermatologist sa kaniyang anak at sa asawa nito.

Magaganap ang kasal nina Cristalle at Justin sa Villa Erba sa Lake Como, Italy dahil isa raw ito sa pinakapaboritong lugar ni Justin.

Sikat ang nasabing resorts area bilang location ng Hollywood films tulad ng “Ocean's Twelve,” “Star Wards: Episode II,” at “Casino Royale.”

“As a mother, I’ve always prayed that my children find the right partner. Cristalle is blessed to have found Justin because he honors and cherishes her like I always wanted for her future husband to," pahayag ng proud mom na si Vicki. 

Dagdag pa niya, "He’s smart, kind, believes in commitment, partnership and forever in marriage.” — Bianca Rose Dabu / AT, GMA News
