WATCH: Tearful Ali, Cristine Reyes exchange wedding vows


MANILA - Mixed martial arts fighter Ali Khatibi was nearly in tears as he exchanged wedding vows with Kapamilya actress Cristine Reyes, as seen in their wedding film released by Nice Print Photography on Thursday.

Reyes and Khatibi, who have a baby daughter named Amarah, got married on Wednesday in an intimate wedding ceremony attended by their close friends and family in Balesin Island.

Khatibi, who got engaged to Reyes seven months after the actress gave birth, is seen in the video crying as Reyes walked down the aisle. The "Tubig at Langis" star, likewise, turned emotional as she thanked Khatibi for showing her the true meaning of love.

"Ikaw 'yung reason kung bakit ko nasabi na ikaw na nga 'yung taong pakakasalan ko," Reyes told her now-husband. "Kasi ikaw 'yung nagpakita sa akin ng totoong kahulugan ng pag-ibig."

"Dahil ang pag-ibig ay hindi lang puro masaya. Ang pag-ibig ay mahirap din. Ang pag-ibig ay paulit-ulit na pagiintindi, pagtitiis, pagaaruga, at pagpapaubaya. Ang pag-ibig ay sa hirap at sa ginhawa," she added.

For his part, Khatibi vowed to help Reyes achieve her dreams. "I want you to never stop dreaming. Because this is one of the things I love and admire about you," he said.

"As your husband, together we shall reach for the stars and make them come true. I promise to be your faithful lover, to work hard and fulfill our needs, and lastly, to never forget this moment. For in this moment, my life ends and ours begin. I love you so much."

Reyes first met Khatibi back in 2005 but only began dating in 2013. In an interview on the now-defunct afternoon talk show "The Buzz" a year later, Reyes revealed that she was pregnant with Khatibi's child.
