Christian Bautista and wife Kat Ramnani held their second wedding reception in Manila on Dec. 2 after tying the knot in Bali, Indonesia last Nov. 17.
Scenes from the Bautistas’ second wedding reception surfaced online after many celebrity friends took to social media to share snaps and clips of the enchanting, star-studded affair at the Manila Hotel’s Champagne Room.
Leading digital photo and video services company Nice Print Photo Company also took to their official Instagram account yesterday, Dec. 2, and today, Dec. 3 to share photos of the wedded couple in their reception, one of which showed the two posing in front of the camera as they clung to each other.
Bautista wore a burgundy suit while Ramnani wore an intricate blush pink mermaid gown with a ruffled train — both by Filipino designer Francis Libiran.
“Congratulations @xtianbautista and @katramnani,” wrote Nice Print Photo. “Tonight’s Manila wedding both in @francislibiran8.”
Celebrity guests also posted on their own Instagram accounts to share scenes from the reception. Celebrity to the stars Vicki Belo took to her Instagram Stories on Dec. 2 to share a photo of her and husband Dr. Hayden Kho with the newlyweds, as well as Morissette Amon’s performance during the reception.
“With newlyweds, Christian and Kat, and @dioseldosy,” wrote Belo. “Our #BeloBaby, Morissette, wowing everyone with her amazing voice.”
