Social media content creator Zeinab Harake and basketball star Bobby Ray Parks Jr. have officially tied the knot in a dreamy wedding on June 1.
Their big day took place at the Crystal Palace of Aquila in the Sky, Tagaytay City, almost a year after Parks popped the question.
Here's a quick rundown of the highlights and details of their dreamy, romantic wedding.
Wedding looks
Harake looked elegant in a custom-made couture bridal gown by renowned designer Michael Cinco. The ensemble combined classic bridal elements with a modern off-the-shoulder design and extensive hand-embroidered lace and delicate detailing.
Meanwhile, for Harake's bridal look, makeup artist Paul Unating opted for muted hues that complemented her half-bun hairstyle by hairstylist Renz Pangilinan. Patty Yap also styled the content creator.
Parks, on the other hand, exuded regal charm in a brocade tuxedo and tailored pants elevated with a white rose boutonniere.
Meanwhile, the groomsmen wore matching red suits while the bridesmaids wore off-the-shoulder, flowy, deep red gowns, signifying the motif of the event.

Rosy Palace wedding venue
Harake and Parks had an outdoor wedding at the Crystal Palace of Aquila in the Sky in Tagaytay City with luscious trees and a huge palace-like tent framing the venue.
Amid the greens and reds was a long, reflective white and blue aisle leading to a circular altar adorned with more vibrant roses.
Reception
Following their heartfelt wedding ceremony, Harake and Parks' celebration continued with a lavish reception that featured a stunning display of lights, including fairy lights cascading from the ceiling, creating a magical, starry sky effect.
At the front of the room was a large stage with a bright digital screen displaying the couple's initials, "RZ."
Tables were exquisitely set with abundant floral arrangements of white and cream flowers as centerpieces.
A 40-minute wedding vlog uploaded to Harake's YouTube channel gave a glimpse of the reception, wherein guests enjoyed performances from December Avenue and drag superstars Angel and Maxie. The bride herself also took to the dance floor for a performance.
The affair also included a post-ceremony prayer where the newlyweds knelt with their heads bowed, surrounded by warm string lights.
Parks proposed to Harake in July 2024. In September of that year, Harake also proposed to the basketball star while they were in Japan.
The couple was first confirmed to be dating in 2023. They share Harake's children, Bia, from her former partner, rapper Skusta Clee, and her adopted son, Lucas.
Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Parks!
