“Jeremiah 29:11
‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’
What a pleasant surprise! We had planned for our church wedding this year but suddenly, God gave us this wonderful blessing, proving time and again that God is the master planner.
No matter what your plans are, HE has a divine plan for you, one that is definitely BETTER than what you have imagined. His plan is always the best.
We decided to share this wonderful news with you through a video shot in one of God’s houses - a beautiful chapel in Benguet.
For now, our planned church wedding will have to take a backseat until our bundle of joy arrives. This is, by far, the best surprise we have received in our lives. Indeed, with God, all things are possible.
To our supporters, thank you for being with us since day one. Join us as we enter this new journey in our lives as parents. - Jessy & Lucky”
Luis Manzano, 41, and Jessy Mendiola, 29, secretly married on February 21, 2021 at The Farm at San Benito in Lipa City, Batangas. The ceremony was an intimate celebration, with only a few friends and family onboard.
The two intended to keep it private from the public and announced that they tied the knot after two months of getting married. In 2016, the celebrity couple confirmed that they are in a romantic relationship, and engagement followed in 2020. As they embark on another adventure as parents, their planned church wedding ceremony will have to be shelved in the meantime as they savor their parenthood phase.
