Forever begins today for newlyweds Hidilyn Diaz and Julius Naranjo.
The date coincides with the first anniversary of Hidilyn's momentous victory at Tokyo Olympics 2020, where she won the country's first Olympic gold medal.
Hidilyn looked radiant in her intricately detailed off-shoulder wedding gown designed by Francis Libiran.
The wedding gown had a sweetheart neckline, crystal embellishments, and wave-like details that cascaded all the way down to her train.
Hidilyn completed her bridal look with a bouquet of flowers arranged by Gideon Hermosa.
Meanwhile, Hidilyn's glam team included Juan Sarte for make-up and Celeste Tuviera for hair.

In a behind-the-scenes video posted by ABS-CBN sports correspondent Dyan Castillejo on her Instagram account, Hidilyn expressed her happiness over her wedding gown.
Hidilyn said, "Yung gown ko, it represents me. Ito po yung konsepto na ginawa ni Sir Francis Libiran at sobrang ganda po. And sana magustuhan niyo."
Francis, on the other hand, said Hidilyn was his main inspiration for the wedding gown.
He said, "For her gown, I made sure that it's her personality that comes out while she's wearing and walking down that aisle.
"So I got that inspiration from her. We made sure that the lines are simple, linear, to make her look taller and slimmer."
In a previous interview, Francis revealed that he initially pitched for Hidilyn to wear a gold or champagne-colored gown to match her Olympic medal.
As for the groom, Julius wore a Barong also designed by Francis, who used embroidered design patterns from Guam and the Philippines.
In March 2022, the couple revealed that they had picked Francis to design their outfits for their wedding.
Hidilyn and Julius got engaged last October 2021.
