Joanne Villablanca, known for her work as a wellness and fitness expert, has embarked on a new chapter of her life by marrying her non-showbiz boyfriend, Gage Veridiano. The couple exchanged vows in a heartfelt ceremony at Mount Malarayat Golf and Country Club in Lipa, Batangas, on February 4th, bringing their long-standing relationship to a beautiful crescendo.
Taking to Instagram to share her joy, Villablanca posted snapshots of their special day, filled with anticipation for the official photographs. “Finally,” she exclaimed, expressing gratitude towards those who shared in their celebration. Veridiano, equally elated, shared his happiness about marrying his high school crush, marking the fulfillment of a long-held affection.
The wedding was a gathering of close friends and family, including notable guests like Valeen Montenegro, a “Bubble Gang” regular and a recent bride herself. Montenegro welcomed the newlyweds to married life, delighted to have witnessed their union.
Reflecting Villablanca’s preference for simplicity and intimacy, the wedding was exactly as she had envisioned: a low-key affair by the beach or a garden, devoid of extravagance but rich in love and candid moments. The couple’s desire for a modest celebration, with a guest list capped at fifty, highlighted their wish to focus on the essence of their relationship, surrounded by their nearest and dearest.
This celebration comes after Villablanca’s publicized relationship with actor-model Derek Ramsay, from which both have since moved forward. Ramsay and Villablanca parted ways in 2019, after six years together, a decision Ramsay described as mutually beneficial for both parties. Ramsay has since married Ellen Adarna, further closing the chapter on his and Villablanca’s past.
Villablanca and Veridiano’s wedding stands as a testament to new beginnings and the beauty of finding love that endures. It’s a reminder of the simplicity and purity that love can embody, celebrated in the most personal and meaningful way.
