Camille Prats finally walked the aisle last March 5 at the
Santuario de San Antonio to exchange vows with Anthony Linsangan after six
months of wedding preparation.

Camille and Anthony's love story, which began in 2004, climaxes in a church wedding.
The couple first got married in civil rites in 2008, Los Angeles, California.

John helped his nephew, Nathan Caesar Prats Linsangan, prepare for the wedding.
(Right, hidden) John helped Anthony's mom Carmelita C. Linsangan check Nathan's outfit from head to toe.
The two-year-old ring bearer was kept away from his mom Camille for fear
that he might cling to her the whole afternoon. However, Nathan was
unable to carry the ring in church because he fell asleep while waiting for the ceremony to
begin.

Camille is escorted by Rajo Laurel, who created the
beautiful gown.
The gown alone is particularly breathtaking, especially when light touches its Austrian swarovski crystals.

The radiant bride paused, closed her eyes and took a deep
breath to calm her nerves before the ceremony.

While walking down the
steps of the Makati Shangri-La Hotel lobby, Camille got some help from friends.
One of them was Diana Zubiri (in
violet gown). Diana and Camille co-starred in the GMA-7 afternoon drama show, Gaano Kadalas ang Minsan.

Almost all her life, Camille has pursued her showbiz career.
