The love affair of Estella White, known in showbiz as Stella Ruiz, and Philip Peredo began with a phone conversation in 2008. She was then based in San Francisco, while he was working in New York.

After more than a year, their love affair was sealed with a sweet kiss.

Stella's matron of honor was former sexy actress Samantha Lopez-Edwards (left).

Before their church wedding, the two were married in civil rites in Saddle Brook, New Jersey.

In Philip's blog, he wrote that it was attended by his mom Annie, his sister Pamela, uncles Bert and Noli, aunts Ruth and Rosie, cousins Kathleen, Kristin and Sarah, and his good friend, Hemant.

Stella and Philip couldn't wait to start a happy life together as Mr. and Mrs. Peredo. She felt giddy during the entire ceremony.

The couple asked their guests to buy from their favorite shops: Cloud 9 Living, ATG Stores.com, Fixture Universe, Armani Exchange for Men, Bebe Clothing, Brookestone, Origins, and Apple Store.

Cash gifts for their "piggy bank" were also welcome.

The colors of the wedding are taken from the couple's surnames: peREDo and WHITE.

For the reception, the attire became "casual chic," as Philip wrote in his blog, due to the 100-degree weather.
