Thirty-one-year-old former Kapamilya actress Melissa Ricks is now officially Mrs. Michael Macatangay after they exchanged `I Do’s’ in an intimate wedding ceremony held in California, USA last Sunday, May 23.
In her Instagram account, Melissa shared that their simple wedding was attended by their respective families and close friends numbering only about 15. Ang reception naman ay ginanap sa backyard ng stepdad ni Melissa. Walang glam team si Melissa. She did her own makeup and hairdo at siya rin mag-isa ang nagsuot ng kanyang wedding gown.
“I honestly didn’t know what I wanted to wear, what I knew is I wanted it simple and comfortable, and that’s exactly how it was! Actually, Michael (her husband) had more participation on my gown, from the fabric choice, to design! Love how hands on he was! Can you believe he talked to Lauren (the designer) before I did! Haha. Thank you Batangas-based designer @laurenbabyrabe and @laurenberberabedesigns for making me my dream gown in a ‘rush,’ pagbabahagi ni Melissa sa kanyang Instagram account.
Melissa has a six-year-old daughter na si Kiera Kelly sa kanyang non-showbiz ex-boyfriend na si Charles Togezaki.
Ibinahagi rin ni Melissa na si Michael umano ang ibinigay sa kanya ng Diyos bilang kasagutan sa kanyang mga panalangin.
Bago naging mister ni Melissa ang kanyang non-showbiz hubby ay na-link din siya noon sa ex-PBB housemate-turned actor at mister na ngayon ni Kaye Abad na si Paul Jake Castillo, kay Jake Cuenca at Matt Evans. Na-link din siya noon sa actor-politician na si Jolo Revilla na may asawa na rin ngayon.
