For them, this was the perfect way to celebrate and give thanks for their 15-year journey as husband and wife: an intimate and solemn wedding with the majestic Mayon Volcano as its backdrop-capped with a celebration with close friends and family. It was everything that Amaya, a beauty queen and model from Bicol, dreamed of for her second union with Donn, a decorated military officer. The couple exchanged their vows at the Stella Maris Chapel overlooking the gulf of Albay, and the event culminated at the Misibis Bay Resort, Caragay Island. Close friends and relatives of the family were treated to a day of festivities that were both formal yet relaxed, proper yet personal.
