MANILA, Philippines — Love was truly in the air on Sunday as volleyball star EJ Laure and her longtime partner, former child actor Bugoy Cariño, officially became husband and wife. The intimate wedding ceremony took place at St. John Marie Vianney Parish Church in Silang, Cavite, where the couple exchanged vows in front of their closest family and friends.

A Wedding to Remember

Cariño, who first gained fame as a child actor, looked dapper in a stylish green suit, while Laure, the PVL star, stunned in a breathtaking off-shoulder white wedding gown. Adding an extra touch of sweetness to the event, their daughter Scarlet matched her mother’s elegance by wearing a similar white dress as she played the role of the little bride.

The couple, who have been together for several years, radiated happiness as they promised to spend the rest of their lives together. Cariño later took to social media to share a beautiful video reel of the ceremony, captioning it with the heartfelt hashtag #onceENNAlifetimeWithBugoy.

Family and Friends Celebrate the Big Day

Among those who witnessed the special occasion was Eya Laure, EJ’s younger sister, who took to Instagram to share heartwarming moments from the wedding. The bond between the Laure sisters has always been strong, and Eya made sure to be by her sister’s side during this milestone event.

Aside from family, several of EJ’s teammates and volleyball colleagues were also present to celebrate with the couple. Players from the Nxled Chameleons, including Alina Bicar, Imee Hernandez, Dimdim Pacres, Buding Duremdes, and Ces Molina, attended the wedding, showing their love and support for their teammate.

A Love Story That Withstood the Test of Time

Laure and Cariño’s relationship has been in the public eye for years, capturing the hearts of their fans. In 2020, the couple surprised many when they publicly revealed that they had welcomed their daughter Scarlet. Their love story took another major step forward in 2023, when Cariño proposed to Laure during his birthday celebration, an emotional moment that left fans overjoyed.

Now, with their wedding vows exchanged, the couple embarks on a new chapter of their lives together.

Laure Balances Love and Volleyball

Despite the excitement of her wedding, Laure remains dedicated to her volleyball career. The Nxled Chameleons are currently competing in the play-in round of the 2024-25 PVL All-Filipino Conference. Just days before her wedding, Laure played a crucial role in her team’s match against Chery Tiggo, scoring 15 points, though Nxled ultimately fell short with set scores of 22-25, 24-26, 12-25.

Laure and her team will continue their play-in campaign with an upcoming match against Farm Fresh on Thursday at Philsports Arena, where she is expected to deliver another strong performance.

A Bright Future Ahead

As Laure and Cariño step into married life, their fans and loved ones continue to shower them with well wishes. Their journey together, filled with love, perseverance, and support, has been an inspiration to many.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Cariño-Laure—may their marriage be as strong and enduring as their love for each other!
