“Happy marriages begin when we marry the ones we love, and they blossom when we love the ones we marry.” — Tom Mullen
Beautiful and regal commercial model Rima Ostwani looked every inch a princess in an ultra-romantic Francis Libiran gown as she walked down the aisle with her mother Marianna Lorza-Ostwani and eldest brother Khaled to marry the suave Lebanese gentleman Jay Najjar.
The intimate wedding ceremony was held at the Santuario de San Antonio in Makati City. It was followed by an elegant reception for family and close friends at The Shangri-La at the Fort’s Bonifacio Hall. Thirty people very dear to the groom flew in all the way from Lebanon to attend the big day.
Jay was Rima’s family friend during her childhood years in Lebanon, before Rima and her family moved back to Manila. The newlyweds’ parents were also very good friends. Jay, who lost track of Rima, found her again after 17 years. And the rest, as they say, is history.
All the best to Rima and Jay!
