A picture-perfect setting

Set against the cool backdrop of Tagaytay, the couple’s wedding exuded timeless romance with a touch of grandeur. Guests were welcomed into a venue adorned with a silver runway and vibrant red roses, evoking an atmosphere of elegance and passion. Among those who witnessed the heartfelt occasion were prominent personalities including Hans Sy, Yassi Pressman, Toni Gonzaga and Paul Soriano, Alex Gonzaga, and Awra Briguela.

Love in every words

Zeinab was every bit the radiant bride in a custom lace gown designed by world-renowned couturier Michael Cinco. Her groom, Bobby Ray, matched her grace and presence in a sharp black tuxedo with a crisp white rose pinned to his lapel.

But beyond the stunning aesthetics, it was their exchange of deeply personal and emotional vows that truly marked the soul of the ceremony.

“Finally, I got the right one for me and for my kids. We are safe now with you,” Zeinab said, her voice steady with emotion as she spoke of love, protection, and newfound peace.Bobby Ray’s vows mirrored that same unwavering commitment. “I will honor, support, comfort, and protect you. I will never leave you nor forsake you. I love you beyond all measure,” he promised. And with a personal touch, he added, “Trust me when I say, there will be no other person I would eat yakiniku with.”He also vowed to be a pillar not just for Zeinab, but for her two beloved children, Lucas and Bia. “To my son and daughter, I promise to be the best daddy I can be… to help raise you both to be god-fearing children.”Zeinab, too, shared her promise of enduring love and patience. “I will choose you everyday, even on the days when it’s hard. Lalo na ‘pag magkalayo tayo, lagi kitang hihintayin hangga’t sa makauwi ka sa ‘min. I know LDR is hard, but not having you in my life is harder.”

It was a celebration not just of a couple, but of a family. Zeinab’s son, Lucas, served as the ring bearer, while daughter Bia charmed guests as the flower girl, making the ceremony even more intimate and meaningful.

Zeinab’s father walked her down the aisle, standing proudly by her side as she took one of life’s most sacred vows.

A promise of forever

Their love story has been one for the books. In July 2024, Bobby Ray popped the question in a grand proposal that left fans swooning. But the story didn’t end there—just a few months later in September, Zeinab surprised everyone by proposing to Bobby Ray while they were in Japan, showing just how equal and fearless their love is.

With every vow, glance, and tear, it was clear that this was more than a wedding—it was the beginning of a lifetime built on faith, family, and unconditional love.

“We promise to cheer you in every game and love you as our lifetime family,” Zeinab lovingly declared.

Their wedding wasn’t just a union of two people—it was the celebration of a journey that brought healing, hope, and a home built on love.

Here’s to Zeinab and Bobby Ray—may their forever be as beautiful as the day they said “I do.”
