A love story whispered, yet deeply felt. Kapuso actress, Carla Abellana said “I do” to her non-showbiz partner, Dr. Reginald Santos, in an intimate ceremony shared only with family and loved ones. Held at a private, undisclosed location, the wedding reflected a romance rooted in sincerity and quiet elegance.

Carla looked ethereal in a refined gown with a classic square neckline and lace veil, while the groom was dashing in a cream tuxedo and black bowtie.

While the bride has kept details close to her heart, subtle glimpses, like her intimate bridal shower shared online, hinted at a celebration as heartfelt as the love they share.
