Evangelista tied the knot with Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero at the Balesin Island Club on Sunday.
It is no secret that the couple’s ties estranged Evangelista from her parents for a time. While they have patched things up, Evangelista's parents have decided not to attend the wedding.
In an excerpt from the letter that was published on entertainment site Pep, the actress’ father admitted he really wanted to walk Evangelista down the aisle but "a lot of things has happened that hindered us from going" to the wedding.
"Alam mo anak gustung-gusto kita ihatid sa altar. Sino ba naman ang ama ang ayaw makita ang anak sa pinakaimportanteng araw ng buhay niya?” he wrote.
Nonetheless, Ongpauco asked Escudero to take care of his daughter.
"This is my promise: when the day comes that I see both of you truly happy; when I see Chiz loving you the way you deserve to be loved, I will come knocking on your door," he wrote.
Earlier on Sunday, ABS-CBN News’ Karen Davila said there were seats reserved for Evangelista’s parents at the reception which no one was allowed to sit on.
Although Evangelista’s parents chose not to go to the wedding, her sisters and other relatives attended the special occasion.
