Carlo Aquino and Charlie Dizon are the talk of the town after they surprised fans with their intimate wedding in Silang, Cavite, more than a year after going public with their relationship.
Details of the wedding were kept sealed by the couple’s family, close friends, and planners in the days leading to their special day on Sunday, June 9 at a private resort in Silang, Cavite. The ceremony incidentally took place a day after Dizon accepted her Best Actress trophy at the 47th Gawad Urian Awards.
Among the highlights of the night was the couple’s vows with Aquino saying he found “peace” in the form of Dizon, as seen in a clip uploaded by one @kowalerts on X (formerly Twitter).
“Nagpapasalamat ako sa nasa itaas dahil hindi niya ako binigo. Nagdasal ako ng kapayapaan at ‘yun ang binigay sa pagkatao mo, mahal… Binibigyan mo ko ng pagkakataon na piliin ka sa araw-araw,” Aquino said, referring to Dizon.
“Ang maipapangako ko ay kapag napagod ang damdamin natin sa sama ng loob sa isa’t isa, kapag may mga araw na hindi na mapantayan ang ating pagmamahal, hindi ko makakalimutang mahalin ang pagkatao mo,” he added.
(I’m thankful to the God above because He didn’t let me down. I prayed for peace and He gave it to me in the form of you, love. You gave me a chance to choose you everyday. What I can promise you is when our feelings get tired, when there are days where we love each other less, I will never forget to love the person you are.)

(I saw how your goals aligned with mine. Your family-oriented nature and how you took care of us, especially when it comes to your loved ones, I guess it was a clear sign that you’re the man for me.)
