On the wedding video posted by Nice Print Photography on their YouTube page, portions of the couple’s wedding vows were seen.

Cristine recalled the hardships that their relationship had to endure from the beginning.

“Ali, dumating din ang panahon na ito. Marami tayong naging unos, pero hindi ito nahadlangan ng kahit sino at kahit anong bagay. Ito nga ang ating tadhana - ang isa't isa,” she said.

The Kapamilya actress also noted how her now husband has showed him the meaning of real love. "Dahil ang pag-ibig ay hindi lang puro masaya, ang pag-ibig ay mahirap din. Ang pag-ibig ay paulit-ulit na pag-intindi, pagtitiis, pag-aaruga at pagpapaubaya. Ang pag-ibig ay sa hirap at sa ginhawa,” she said.

For his part, Ali recalled how he has always taken the “safe side” of life until he met Cristine.

“The road I have taken has always been so sure, I didn't want it to end, to change. But God has a funny way to deal with things... God sent me the greatest match of my life, he sent me you,” he said.

In the end, he promised Cristine “never to forget this moment."

For in this moment my life ends and ours begin,” he continued.

The couple have a one-year-old daughter named Amarah, who will celebrate her birthday on February 3.
