LOOK: Cai Cortez cries tears of joy on wedding day

4 min read

It was an emotional day for Cai Cortez  as she prepared to walk down the aisle, and the comedian couldn't help but shed a few tears of joy right before she entered the chambers where her husband-to-be was waiting for her.

On July 15, Cai and her foreigner boyfriend, Wissem Rkhami, exchanged vows in a civil wedding ceremony officiated by former President and current Manila Mayor Joseph Ejercito Estrada.

The wedding was a simple and intimate affair made special by the presence of Cai's father, actor Rez Cortez, and the rest of her family.

Cai was dressed in a virginal white flowing dress that cinched her waist nicely, which she paired with a pair of  white, open-toe stiletto sandals. Her hair was styled in a half up-do, and her jewelry kept to a minimum to complement her simple yet elegant attire.

Cai also let her natural beauty shine through as she sported a no-make-up look, which was made dramatic by a touch of dark lip color.

Here are a few photos from the event, which were shared by photographer Francis Perez on social media:

So in love

A Cai and Wissem kind of moment.
