Singer-songwriter Nica del Rosario and her partner Justine Peña strengthened their love for each other, as they tied the knot once again in the Philippines.
Del Rosario and Peña held a second wedding at the Our Haven Events Place in Indang, Cavite, as seen in the Instagram page of boutique wedding photographer Matt Lee Shoots on Saturday, Feb. 18.
“Sexuality isn’t a choice but happiness is. Words that resounded today at the wedding of Jus + Nica. 150 guests fully supporting this purest form of love – family and chosen family alike,” Matt Lee Shoots’ caption read.
The couple’s wedding was attended by 150 guests, including former Vice President Leni Robredo, according to a series of photos uploaded on her Instagram Stories. It can be recalled that del Rosario, along with singer Jelo Mateo, were behind the former’s campaign song “Kay Leni Tayo” during the May 2022 presidential elections.
Del Rosario was one of the performers in Robredo’s campaign song “Rosas”, alongside Gab Pangilinan.
