PHOTOS: Newly married Toni shows skin in Amanpulo

MANILA - Toni Gonzaga, known for being conservative and who has been vocal of her traditional values, surprised her followers on Wednesday as she shared photos of her in a swimsuit while on vacation with husband Paul Soriano.

The 31-year-old actress, who was open about her stance against pre-marital sex, flaunted her slim figure at luxury resort Amanpulo in Palawan, where she and Soriano are spending their honeymoon.


It is their first time to vacation together, just two of them, throughout their eight-year relationship. The couple, who got married in a Christian ceremony on June 12, obliged to rules set by Gonzaga's parents about traveling and evening dates, among others.

Here's a look at the romantic getaway, as shared by Gonzaga on Instagram:

WATCH: Paul cries as Toni walks down the aisle

MANILA - Paul Soriano, whom Toni Gonzaga admittedly considered a lesser priority to her career for more than seven years, could not hold his tears as the actress finally walked down the aisle on their wedding day, June 12.

Gonzaga, who was a vision in her Vera Wang gown, was brought by her parents -- Carlito and Crisanta -- to the altar of a Taytay church that witnessed many milestones in her life.



Wearing a Hugo Boss suit, Soriano turned emotional when Gonzaga's parents, who had been fiercely protective of their daughter, entrusted her to him following years of abiding by rules imposed on their relationship.

In a part of her wedding vow, Gonzaga acknowledged Soriano's patience throughout the past eight years -- for not being allowed to travel together, for being second priority.

"Every time I would ask you, 'Why are you choosing to stay with me?' You would simply answer, 'Because I love you.' For eight years, you have fought for your position in my life, and there were times when I would see you get tired. But there was never a time you gave up."

Soriano told his bride: "I love you so much. I'm all yours. I'm going to protect you, and I'm going to do my best to give you that love that your parents gave you. I know your parents love you so much... I will do my best to love you like they did for 31 years."

Fans of the couple can look forward to an extended look of the nuptials as ABS-CBN airs on Saturday, June 13, "Perfect Together: Paul and Toni's Wedding Special" after "Maalaala Mo Kaya" at 10 p.m.

Where Paul wants to take Toni for honeymoon

MANILA – After his much-talked about proposal to Toni Gonzaga, director Paul Soriano said he is already looking forward to planning their upcoming wedding with his fiancée.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News on Monday, Soriano, whose latest movie "Kid Kulafu" finally opens in theaters next week, explained that both of them have been very busy these past few months.

“Very excited ako. It’s a new chapter in my life. To be honest, Toni has been very busy. I just came from LA. Toni left for Australia. I think the only time we are really going to sit down and plan this wedding is when she comes back,” he said.

Soriano, however, said he will let Gonzaga do most of the planning and he will just try to give everything the TV host wants for their wedding.

“I know she chose a dress already. I’m very behind. I haven’t even picked a suit yet. I’m going to work on that after ‘Kid Kulafu’ comes out. I can start focusing on the details. But for me, my attitude for the wedding is I’ll just follow. Whatever Toni wants, I will do my best to give it to her,” he said.

Asked if he already has a place in mind where he wants to spend their honeymoon, Soriano said: “Anywhere outside the Philippines.”

“We haven’t had that opportunity. We are both well-travelled. Ang importante magkasama kami. It’s going to be our first time to do a solo trip, so far away from Mommy Pinty so they can’t follow,” he said in jest.

Meanwhile, Soriano refused to answer questions as to whether he and Gonzaga are planning to have a prenuptial agreement.

“Honestly, let’s maybe talk about that some other time. Let’s focus on ‘Kid Kulafu’ now. We are a small movie. We need all the promotion we can get. If we can talk about the movie now, we can answer all those things in due time,” he said.

In a previous interview, Gonzaga said she has not thought about preparing a prenuptial agreement with her fiancé.

“Actually nung tinanong sa akin 'yan, saka lang ako napaisip. Dapat ba may ganun talaga? Kasi iniisip ko naman, hindi naman ako Zobel or Ayala to do a prenup. Normal lang naman ako. Kung ano naman ang meron ako, pinaghirapan ko,” she said.

Gonzaga also explained why she feels a prenuptial agreement will not be necessary in their case.

“Ang program ko kasi sa pag-aasawa, once you get into a relationship…you will try your very best to make it work. Sa akin, kapag may prenup, parang in the long run iniisip mo na kasi baka in the future maghiwalay kami so kailangan sa akin 'yung pera ko. 'Yung security nasa pera, wala sa tao,” she said.

Soriano proposed to Gonzaga last January 21 in the actress’ home in Rizal. They have yet to announce their wedding date.
