MANILA \u2013 Kapamilya host-actress Toni Gonzaga married longtime boyfriend director Paul Soriano on Friday at the United Methodist Church in Taytay, Rizal.<\/p>\n

Paul, donning a Hugo Boss suit, arrived at the venue around 2 p.m. Toni, wearing a Vera Wang gown, arrived a little later. The wedding ceremony began at 3:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Tony Award-winning singer Lea Salonga, one of the couple\u2019s principal sponsors, observed that the ceremony was filled with \u2018love, light and humor.\u2019<\/p>\n

She also shared that the couple each recited a vow.<\/p>\n

\u201cPaul was more spontaneous with his vows while Toni recited hers more deliberately. But they were both crying,\u201d Lea recalled.<\/p>\n

Angeli Pangilinan-Valenciano, also one of the sponsors, reiterated Toni\u2019s vows, \u2018No more good night, no more curfews and Skype [conversations] where Paul would say he was alone again.\u2019<\/p>\n

After the emotional exchange of vows, the couple sealed their promises with a \u2018long and loving\u2019 kiss and a tight hug.<\/p>\n

Angeli\u2019s husband, Gary, sang \u201cThe Way You Look Tonight\u201d during the wedding\u2019s reception.<\/p>\n

The other celebrity sponsors and guests were Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada, Senator Bongbong Marcos, ABS-CBN chair Gabby Lopez, ABS-CBN president and CEO Charo Santos-Concio, TV host Kris Aquino, TV host-talent manager Boy Abunda, Boxing champ Manny Pacquiao and celebrity cosmetic surgeon Vicki Belo.<\/p>\n

Guests\u2019 wishes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Actress Izza Calzado, one of Toni\u2019s close friends in the media industry, wished the couple a beautiful partnership.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know Toni will be immensely blessed because she has also been a blessing to her family and friends,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Antoinette Jadaone, director of Toni\u2019s recent film, \u201cYou\u2019re My Boss,\u201d hoped that the marriage will enrich the couple.<\/p>\n

\u201cPaul and Toni\u2019s personalities are very different. She is very outspoken and sociable, while Paul is very quiet. This difference sort of complements them. They are yin and yang,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Toni and Paul had been in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship for eight years before finally getting engaged earlier this year.<\/p>\n
