Margarita Fores' son Amado ties the knot with Carmela Fortuna
On his Instagram Stories, Amado has reposted snaps and videos of his wedding day, which looked absolutely happy.
According to the posts, Fr. Tito Caluag was the officiant, Sonja Ocampo provided the beautiful cake, and guests included Representative Sandro Marcos and broadcaster Korina Sanchez, whose Instagram post showed President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr., and First Lady Louise Liza Marcos were also in attendance.
In her post, Sanchez wished for the newlyweds to "stay on Cloud 9 for eternity."
"Margarita your Mom is grinning from Heaven," she added.
In February, Amado announced Margarita's untimely passing, saying "It is with a heavy heart that I share the sudden passing of my Mom, Margarita A. Forés."
"Our family is mourning this unexpected loss, and we kindly ask for your prayers during this time. We will be able to share more in due time," he added.
Margarita, who was named Asia's Best Female Chef in 2016, is the genius behind restaurants like Cibo, Grace Park, Lusso, and Cafe Bola. Her son, Amado, followed in her footsteps, opening successful restaurants like A mano and Steak and Frice.
In March, Margarita was honored with posthumous award by The World's 50 Best Restaurants, which Amado received in Seoul, South Korea.
He also received the Presidential Medal of Merit given to Margarita and other cultural icons including Nora Aunor and Gloria Romero last May.
But enough of the grieving for now. Congratulations and best wishes to Amado and his beautiful bride, Carmela!
