With a single word, she changed his life, said Charles Yeoj Marquez — the eldest son of actors Joey Marquez and Alma Moreno — about his longtime sweetheart, Louise Anne Ferenal.

The couple exchanged wedding vows over the weekend, with Charles promising Ferenal, with whom he has been together for almost 13 years now, that he'll "hold [her] hand forever."

"From this moment on I am declaring that I'll take care of you, I'll be with you no matter what circumstances we will be facing," he said in his vows, which he shared on Instagram last Monday.

"I will unconditionally love you and I am ready to hold your hand forever. Through sickness and in health, till death do us part. This is what I want to do in this life and this will echo through eternity."

In his vows, Charles shared that ever since Ferenal said "yes" to him becoming his boyfriend, he felt complete. They met while studying at a university, which became the venue for their reception.

Their garden wedding was held at the Casa Aguilar in Las Pinas City. It was attended by Charles' celebrity parents, as well as actresses Winwyn Marquez and LJ Moreno, among others.
