Valentine's Day is an important day for lovers in its own right.

Some couples, however, took it to the next level by making Feb. 14 their wedding day. What's more befitting than making a lifetime commitment on the day of love?

Here are some local celebrities who decided to tie the knot on Feb. 14—for a lifetime of love and an everyday celebration of Valentine's Day.

Though Maja Salvador and Rambo Nuñez married in Bali in Indonesia on July 31, 2023, they’ve already tied the knot on Valentine’s Day in a civil wedding.

Maja told Preview they’re supposed to get married only once, but local laws don’t honor destination weddings.

Their Feb. 14 wedding was held at a hotel in Manila with only 60 guests, who were allowed to take photos and videos but could not share them online.

The July ceremony had star-studded guests, including Joshua Garcia, Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla, Arjo Atayde, Maine Mendoza, Janella Salvador, Adrian Alandy, Sarah Labati, Richard Gutierrez, Precious Lara Quigaman, Marco Alcaraz, John Lloyd Cruz, and Isabel Santos. Civil Service Commission Karlo Nograles and ABS-CBN President and Chief Executive Officer Carlo Katigbak was also there.

In an Instagram post, Maja shared monochrome photos of their wedding.

“5 years together[,] 1st year as Mr. & Mrs. Nuñez,” she wrote. “I love you Dada.”

Maja and Rambo announced their pregnancy on Dec. 1.
