SUDDENLY, THE GRAND wedding of actress Bea Alonzo and businessman Vincent Co, initially hyped as Wedding of the Year, was reduced to a simple ceremony.
After a planned church wedding in Spain and two separate receptions, the occasion was realized in a common civil wedding.
The reversal of the situation happened last Monday, July 13, 2026 at the office of Nancy Binay, Mayor of Makati City.
In her Facebook wall, Mayor Binay noted: “Kinasal ko na po sila (I already wedded them)” with an accompanying smiling emoji.
“Congratulations & Best wishes Vincent & Bea,” she added with a blue heart emoji.
Bea, Phylbert Angelli Ranollo Fagestrom in real life, was in a plain cream straight cut dress while Vincent, Ferdinand Vincent Pe Co, was in a short-sleeved and simple Filipiniana attire, Barong.
According to some witnesses at the Makati City Hall, the event was a very exclusive one with only approximately six to seven guests at the matrimony.
No family members of the respective parties, only business partners and friends during the ceremony.
One of the special guests was known only as Prince Joe, who according to accounts, is a close friend and business associate of Bea who is into fashion and retail industry, specifically working with local fashion brands in the Philippines. Prince Joe’s Instagram account is iprincejoe.
Prince Joe only greeted the newly-weds with “Congrats Bea & Vincent Co.”
It was a surprise event for the Makati City Hall people but entertainment writer and vlogger Ogie Diaz reported that during the civil wedding rites, he knew that finally, Bea and Vincent tied the knot.
Meanwhile, in a lull period, Alonzo was seen having a friendly pose with Mayor Binay who captioned the photo posted on her social media spaces with “Coffee with coffeemate” which wittily meant a side-by-side configuration of the two celebrities (Bea as an actress and Nancy as a politician) that jokingly illustrated a white complexioned bride and a brown Filipina marriage officiator.
In a photo posted by Mayor Binay in her Facebook wall, Bea and Vincent hugged each other tightly, obviously after the civil rite.
The very private Fagestrom-Co nuptials was a complete opposite of the reported wedding plans about the getting hitched of the couple when there were already wedding invitations printed in May this year in Spain that Bea’s good friend Dimples Romano had allegedly received so the latter and her husband Boyet Ahmea flew to Madrid.
There were also reports that the marriage between Bea and Vincent would be held in two separate places in Spain.
By the time the scheduled wedding had circulated in the grapevine, Dimples and Boyet were already in the country.
The wedding didn’t push through allegedly because of the conflicts that arose between Bea and Vincent about the pre-nuptial agreement which Atty. Joey Garcia clarified in a story at Inquirer.net that the prenup contract was freely, knowingly and voluntarily signed by the two parties
Meanwhile, a few days before the matrimony, Alonzo was in a contemplative mood as shown in her Instagram post which she captioned “A calm little corner of the week.”
Many netizens are happy about the union of Bea and Vincent.
