MANILA, Philippines — Actress Bea Alonzo and businessman Vincent Co were married in a private civil ceremony in Makati City on Monday night, ending months of speculation about their wedding plans.
Makati Mayor Nancy Binay officiated the ceremony and confirmed the marriage in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
“Kinasal ko na po sila! Congratulations & Best wishes Vincent & Bea,” Binay wrote.
A source confirmed that the civil wedding took place on July 13 at Binay’s office. The source said the couple’s parents were not present during the ceremony.
Alonzo wore a simple cream suit dress, while Co, an executive from the Puregold retail group, wore a short-sleeved barong.
The couple recently bought an apartment in Rockwell, Makati, making them official residents of the city before their wedding.
Alonzo and Co had previously been reported to be planning a wedding in Spain in May, but the ceremony did not push through. Reports also linked the postponement to disagreements over provisions in their prenuptial agreement.
They were also previously rumored to be planning a church wedding in Manila, but the ceremony did not materialize.
The couple ultimately chose a low-key civil wedding in Makati, marking the start of their married life together.
