10 Most Talked-About Weddings in Philippine Showbiz

Vilma Santos & Ralph Recto (December 11, 1992)

After what was described as a whirlwind romance with then model-turned-actor, Edu Manzano, Vilma Santos eventually found love at the disco. In 1985, the young and persistent Ralph Recto asked her to dance with him and the rest was history. The two were married in a formal ceremony held at the San Sebastian Cathedral in Lipa City, Batangas. The wedding was tagged as the historic joining of movies and politics in holy matrimony, with guests ranging from President Fidel V. Ramos to "Mother" Lily Monteverde, and from Eduardo "Danding" Cojuangco to Lourdes Jimenez, better known as "Inday Badiday."


Sharon Cuneta & Gabby Concepcion (September 23, 1984)

From their lovey-dovey exchanges in 1981's Dear Heart (not to mention their other eight films together) the young showbiz couple brought their on-screen romance to real life when they got married in one of the most publicized weddings in recent history.

Still both just 19 years old, the two tied the knot in front of family members and thousands of frenzied fans lining up the street and flooding the entrance of the Manila Cathedral. The wedding was complete with police escorts and a grand reception, all provided for by their principal sponsor, President Ferdinand Marcos.

Two years after their daughter KC was born, the couple split up after it was confirmed that Gabby was already married to another woman.
