Jessy Mendiola and Luis Manzano marked their third anniversary as a married couple by sharing moments from their recently held second wedding, a church ceremony, in Coron, Palawan.
The actress looked radiant in a white asymmetrical lace dress while Manzano donned a Barong Tagalog, as seen on Mendiola’s Instagram page on Wednesday, Feb. 21.
In the caption, Mendiola admitted that she and the TV host were no longer excited to get married as they already did back in 2021.
“Being together for almost [eight] years and being married for [three] years have taught me so many things. One of them is that love is not always easy, and that it isn’t supposed to be easy all the time,” she said. “You have to constantly work hard for it. And that’s okay.”
“Today, I’m choosing to work harder for your love and happiness,” she continued. “Tulad nga ng sabi ni Father, do not chase excitement, mas importante ang desire. The desire to get married over and over again with that person you chose.”
Mendiola underscored that having him and their daughter Rosie, whom she described as their “biggest blessing,” is all that she needs.
“I promise to love our family with all my being. I promise to always choose you over and over again even on our hardest days and I promise to protect our peace and happiness,” she vowed to Manzano.
“Happy 3rd anniversary, my love. Thank you for always choosing to love me no matter what. I love you with all my heart,” she concluded.
Manzano, for his part, showed moments both from their 2021 and recent wedding, and declared his love for the actress.
“[Three] years my wowow, [Jessy]. Love you and Peanut,” he captioned his post.
The couple’s first wedding, a civil ceremony, was held at a luxury resort in Lipa, Batangas. After over a year, they welcomed Rosie in December 2022.
