Before heading to Palawan, Kiray had already shared moments from their wedding. In one of her posts after the ceremony, she uploaded a montage on Instagram that captured highlights of their union, including the exchange of vows.
Staying true to her cheerful personality, Kiray added humor to her vows, saying, “Isa lang naman ang pangarap ko noon sa taong mamahalin ko. 'Yung makahanap ako ng kagaya ng papa ko. 'Yung tagaluto, tagalaba, tagalinis, tagahugas.”
Stephan, meanwhile, expressed his commitment to Kiray by promising to stand by her through life’s challenges and successes. “Sa hirap at ginhawa, sa tagumpay at kabiguan, aalagaan kita. Rerespetuhin at susuportahan sa lahat ng pangarap mo. Patuloy kitang susuportahan, hindi lang bilang partner kundi bilang asawa, kasama, at bilang taong laging nariyan para sa'yo,” he said.
“Pangako rin na sa bawat laban at hamon ng buhay, sabay tayong haharap. Kapag nanghihina ka, ako ang magiging lakas mo. Kapag nagdadalawang-isip ka sa sarili mo, ipapaalala ko sa'yo kung gaano kita kamahal at pinapahalagahan. Kapag may bagyong dumating, ako ang magiging payong mo,” he added.
