Miss Grand International 2020 first-runner up Samantha Bernardo exchanged vows with her Canadian partner Scott Moore at a beach wedding held on 12 April in Cebu City.

Snaps taken from the wedding have been posted by Nice Print Photography on Instagram. The bride looked radiant in a fully beaded halter neck gown, while her groom rocked a beige suit.

Bernardo’s bridesmaids included volleyball star player Alyssa Valdez, who competed with her in Pinoy Big Brother: Kumunity Season 10 (2022), as well as beauty pageant queens Samantha Panlilio (Binibining Pilipinas-Grand International 2021), Eva Patalinjug-Lim (Binibining Pilipinas-Grand International 2018) and Muriel Orais-Sy (Binibining Pilipinas 2018 candidate).

TV hosts Bianca Gonazalez Intal and Karen Bordador were among the newlyweds’ well-wishers online. “Congratulations and best wishes!!!” Gonzalez wrote on Instagram. Bordador captioned her social media post, “Congratulations dear!!! To a happy marriage and beyond! Stay blessed and loved.”

Bernardo got engaged to Moore in February 2023. They then had their pre-nuptial shoot taken at Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar in Bataan.
