A few months after marking the first anniversary of their engagement, longtime couple Anne Curtis and Erwan Heussaff have finally exchanged vows in a picture perfect ceremony along the lush, stunning shores of Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown, New Zealand.
A few months back, we caught up with the bride-to-be, who was absolutely glowing, at the launch of one of her new product endorsements, Shiseido Collagen.
“I’m very, very excited and I feel that all of my followers are also very excited for me. Basta I’m very happy,” she gushed when asked about her upcoming nuptials.
Continuing, she revealed a little bit about herself as a bride, but chose to keep most of the details private.
“I’m very hands-on with the wedding preparation,” shared Anne.”I think I’m a Bridechilla, (not a bridezilla). I’m super relaxed with everything.”
She then declined to give details about the wedding, laughing as she said: “It makes it a little bit more special, if I can enjoy it first for myself first and then after, we will share it with everyone. For now, we’re trying to keep it as intimate as possible.”
As for what she looks forward to the most, Anne said she simply can’t wait to share her future adventures with the one she loves.
“Starting a new family together,” she shared. “I’m excited for all the surprised that will come my way. Erwan and I aren’t the type to plan things out. We’re very happy-go-lucky. I’m excited to travel with him. No babies first…we’ll focus more on travelling.”
“Welcome to Middle Earth,” read the sign that ushered guests into the picturesque venue of their welcome dinner in Queenstown, New Zealand. Greeting them was the glowing bride, clad in a flowy, sheer Vera Wang ensemble, and quirky heart-shaped frames.
In attendance were some of their closest friends and family, including Erwan’s sister Solenn Heussaff and her husband Nico Bolzico. Anne’s sister Jasmine and friends old and new: Luis Manzano, Georgina Wilson, Jess Wilson, Cheska Garcia-Kramer, Danica Sotto-Pingris, Angel Locsin and Isabelle Daza, Dr. Vicki Belo, Hayden Kho and their little one, Scarlet could not miss the much awaited wedding.
Anne’s co-hosts on the variety show, It’s Showtime, Vice Ganda, Kim Atienza, Ryan Bang, Jugs Jugueta, Vhong Navarro, and Karylle Tatlonghari also flew to New Zealand to celebrate her special day.
Equally stylish was Anne’s hubby-to-be Erwan, who donned a plaid suit and gray hat. After over 7 years together, their most awaited day had finally come!

The next morning, a clean shaven Erwan suited up in a charcoal suit. His entourage looked just as dapper in maroon suits, crimson ties, and spoon brooches to match Erwan’s tattoo.
Soon, all their beautiful and stylish guests made their way to the ceremony.
The venue? A simple, rustic garden, with charming ruins serving as their backdrop. As guests awaited the beginning of the ceremony, a folksy duo serenaded them with beloved classics, like The Beatles’ Here Comes the Sun.
Anne looked lovely in a long-sleeved, lace embellished custom Monique Lhullier creation with a fun pair of platform boots.
Anne was absolutely glowing! Her lipstick was reportedly specially customized for her wedding day by her new makeup company.
Their parents were there to share their much awaited day.
True to form, the couple kept it simple, requesting that no photos be taken during the ceremony.
After the ceremony, they were greeted with warm hugs and congratulations by their nearest and dearest.
“No me without you. No you without me,” they said as part of their vows.

After the ceremony, guests were ushered to a port, where they boarded a charming steamboat. A 40-minute cruise, which allowed them to enjoy the landscape of Queenstown, brought them to Walter Peak Station for the wedding reception.
For the reception, Anne donned a strapless lace-embellised ensemble.
Their cute wedding cake, featuring adorable cake topper versions of Anne and Erwan as well as their fur babies, was a gift from the maid of honor and sister of the bride, Jasmine Curtis-Smith.
It was an intimate gathering, filled with singing, dancing and newlywed kisses, prompted by the traditional clinking of glasses.
After Erwan delighted guests with a sultry but funny dance number, it was Anne’s turn. She performed an adorable version of I Love Rock n’ Roll.
Soon, both the bride and groom faced off in a showdown, rapping along to the 90s hit, Blackstreet’s No Diggity.
An emotional Anne delivered a heartfelt speech to thank everyone who made their special day even more memorable.
Congratulations and best wishes, Anne and Erwan! We wish you a lifetime of bliss!
