After a decade of being a couple, Iya Villania and Drew Arellano
have finally tied the knot in a beach wedding at Kawayan Cove resort,
Batangas on January 31. The private ceremony started late in the
afternoon and proceeded until a picturesque dusk had fallen.
Among
the family and friends of the couple who joined the wedding ceremony
were It’s Showtime host Kim Atienza who was a principal sponsor and
Shaina Magdayao who was a bridesmaid. Paolo Valenciano, Angeli
Pangilinan, and Kim Jones were among the attendees. Iya’s fellow MYX VJs
Nikki Gil, Luis Manzano, and Bianca Roque were also in attendance
according to the music channel’s website.
Although
the couple had been hinting at settling down since they celebrated
their ninth anniversary in May of last year, they made no official
announcement as to when and where it would happen.
But
on Friday, Paolo shocked netizens by posting a quirky directional
standee of the couple on his Instagram account with the caption: “Best
wedding sign EVER.”
Then he followed it with a
black and white photo of a man in a vest and pants—presumably
Drew—seemingly surveying the beachside wedding venue with the caption
that read: “Last minute groom inspection.” Two hours later, Paulo posted
a photo of Iya walking down the aisle with the caption, “The beautiful
bride <3”
Many fans of the couple who
commented on Paolo’s posts have expressed joy over their much-awaited,
whimsical wedding with some even calling them their “favorite couple”
with a “very inspiring relationship.”
The
27-year-old VJ-host’s bridal shower happened a few days ago which was
attended by her closest friends in and outside showbiz like Kim, Nikki,
and even Bea Alonzo, among others.
