No more “sana al”’ and “valid ID dilemmas,” because after seven long years, all roads have led to the tying of knots and promising each other the love of a lifetime.
Here’s a quick rundown of what happened at the highly anticipated #PerfectCongViynation wedding of the YouTube power couple Cong TV and Viy Cortez.
Wedding Look
After a long wait, Lincoln Velasquez, a.k.a Cong TV, and Viy Cortez-Velasquez finally tied the knot today, June 17th, at L’Annunziata Parish in Muntinlupa City.
Of course, everyone’s excited to see how the newlywedded couple looks and who made their wedding outfits. We got you!
Viy stuns in her full-crystal ball gown designed by Leo Almodal, inspired by Ara Mina’s sophisticated bridal gown in 2021. Viy’s wedding dress is filled with Swarovski crystals. It features a sweetheart neckline that extends to delicate off-the-shoulder straps.
Ryan A. Uson of Rau Atelier Weddings was Viy’s personal pick for her reception gown and after-party dress.
Glam, sophisticated, and glowy —these are just the perfect words to describe Viy’s look for her wedding, thanks to Paul Unating, and Daniel Forro, Viy’s official wedding hair and makeup artists.
Meanwhile, makeup artists Mariah Santos, Cath Libunao, CJ Makeup Artistry, and Kendra Mendez took over the bridesmaid’s look for the wedding.
Cong TV has everyone’s head turned with his Team Payaman-coded classy tuxedo, designed by Filipino fashion designer Francis Libiran.
Like his Daddy Cong, Kidlat is dashing in his suit and tie designed by the one and only Francis Libiran.
Cong also had himself all glammed up for his wedding day, courtesy of Ryan Ko, who took the opportunity to style the groom’s hair.
Finally, Manila Diamond Studio made Cong and Viy’s wedding even more special, being the couple’s official wedding ring supplier.
Classy yet Intimate Wedding
62 companies with over 400 staff teamed up to make Cong and Viy’s wedding grand and magical.
The classy details of the church ceremony at L’Annunziata Parish were achieved as planned, thanks to the ceremony’s stylist, Mr. Gideon L. Hermosa.
“Viy requested for an all-white wedding. So parang sabi niya sa’kin ‘I want something medyo royalty and all,’” Gideon Hermosa told VIYLine Media Group.
The highlight of the church wedding was the presence of the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra, who played “Tagpuan” by Moira Dela Torre during Cong’s entrance and “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” during Viy’s bridal march.
The wedding reception followed at the Marriott Hotel in Pasay City, Manila, with a classy white motif. The reception was made possible with the talent of the event stylist, Mr. Dave Sandoval.
Musicians Nobita, Zack Tabudlo, Tothapi, and Ezairah San Pascual were also present to sing for the newly-wed couple at the reception.
The flow and execution of the #PerfectCongViynation wedding were made possible through the efforts of their trusted event coordinator, Ms. Princess Anne Ramos of Events by Miss P.
Viy and Cong’s wedding program is intended to ensure that the guests are entertained and they chose Eri Neeman to be the master of the show.
Of course, wedding snippets and important moments were captured by Nice Print Photography & Exige Weddings, while priceless memories were videographed by Bob Nicolas Wedding Films.
The wedding cake, which symbolizes the couple’s new life together, is made by Honey Glaze Cakes.
