The church wedding was private and intimate, said VRS.
“Only immediate families and close friends witnessed the exchanged of
"I Do's",” said VRS.
VRS added that it was a very meaningful and solemn mass celebration.
“No decors, no videos, no photographers, just with the people who
matters to the couple,” added VRS.
The wedding was officiated by Fr. Val Pinlac who also gave a beautiful
homily.
Among the celebrities who attended the wedding include Miss Hong Kong
China 2006 Janet Ka Wai Chow and Miss World Singapore 2006 and Mrs. World

Maris and Tommy have been a couple for over two years before tying the
knot. They were engaged in August 2014.
“2016 will be a new chapter for me as I
build myself to become a wife and start my own family. I have finally found my
bestfriend and soulmate who I will share this dream with and I am looking
forward to what our future will bring us,” Maris told VRS last January.
Taylor was the midfielder of the Kaya Futbol Club, a
