Among the groomsmen, Yael Yuzon (fifth from the right) lent his support.
Although Piolo Pascual was honored to be part of Benjamin's groomsmen, he regrettably couldn't attend the ceremony.
However, Piolo's mom, Amelia Pascual, was there and participated as one of the couple's ninangs.
Miss Universe Philippines Organization's Creative Director, Jonas Gaffud, also stood as one of the principal sponsors, gracing the aisle alongside GMA's Senior Vice President for Programming, Talent Management, Worldwide, and Support Group, as well as President and CEO of GMA Films, Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes.
Jonas posted a photo of them on Instagram, congratulating the newlyweds in the caption.
The beauty queen-maker wrote on his post: "Finally back in the Philippines and attended a wedding as Principal Sponsor with my beautiful partner Ms @annettegozonvaldes [emoji]. Congratulations @benxalves @chelseamaey ! [emojis] #benchelseayouatthewedding."
