Every year, birthdays and weddings get bigger and bigger. But grand parties are just the icing on the cake. What matters most is the love between the couple, saying their "I do's."
Roque and Ramelyn Tan from Iloilo were planning for a beach wedding, but the pandemic happened. Still, they didn't let it get in the way of their union.
