Drizzles threatened to ruin the outdoor ceremony, but nothing could wipe the smile off the face of the bride—and the groom, too.

The bride's flowing off-white silk and chiffon number, with a see-through décolletage studded with silver glass beads, emphasized her great figure. Underneath her gown, her feet were shod in rhinestone-studded Kenneth Cole slingbacks.

Eula was teary-eyed when she started saying her wedding vows. She was crying for real by the time she uttered her last line: "I promise to share my heart, my future, my life with you."

A passage from the Bible's Song of Songs was read during the civil rites: "Love is as strong as death... It burns like a blazing fire... Rivers cannot wash it away."

Eula's older brother Mike walked the bride down the sandy "aisle".

Eula and Richard posed with their mothers—Richard's mother, Catherine Straun (left), and Eula's mother, Gracia Valdes (seated, center). Eula's brother, Mike Valdes, joined the picture-taking.

Mymy Davao and Sylvia Sanchez were the maids of honor. Ian Veneracion was the best man.
