Showbiz couple Chesca Garcia-Kramer and Doug Kramer renewed their vows in front of friends and family at the Grand Hyatt Manila on October 9 in honor of their 10-year anniversary.
The couple reported that Doug was initially planning to surprise his wife with a ring and band, but was surprised himself when Chesca brought him to a celebration. Upon sight of his wife, Doug told Chesca, “You’re so dressed up! It’s like we’re getting married again!” to which Chesca responded, “You always surprise me. But this time around, it’s my surprise for you!” as they entered the venue. Even the couple’s kids Kendra, Scarlett, and Gavin were in on the secret!
The basketball player shared a photo of him and his wife on Instagram that captioned, “We celebrated our renewal of vows with all our loved ones! Crazy! I’m still in shock!”
He continued with a photo of him in tears, sharing how their planned celebration went through a whirlwind, wanting to have it in Boracay, Tagaytay, and Baguio but those locations not pushing thru. He finished with a message to his wife that said, “I love you so much honey, I also know how much this 10th year means to you!”
Event planner and coordinator Teena Baretto told Cosmopolitan, “If you know Chesca, she’s not the type to plan or give surprises,” further elaborating that the preparation took only ten days because “she wanted an intimate celebration on the exact day of their anniversary.”
The theme consisted of greens and candles – something “effortless and elegant,” with details consisting “lounge seating, hurricane lamps all around, garden breeze, and their theme song, ‘Of All The Things.’”
Among the celebrity guests were photographer Pat Dy, It’s Showtime! host Anne Curtis, and former Side A vocalist Joey Generoso, who performed during the celebration.
