IN PHOTOS: Cristine Reyes, Ali Khatibi marry in Balesin

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – Actress Cristine Reyes and mixed martial arts fighter Ali Khatibi got married on Wednesday, January 27, on Balesin Island.

Cristine has voiced out in the past that she and Ali wanted an intimate wedding rather than a have a big celebration. “Alam mo naman ako, very private akong tao, so andoon lang pamilya namin (You know me, I’m a very private person, so the only people there are our family),” Cristine told reporters after a press conference on January 22. 

She also told reporters that it’s possible she’ll have another wedding in Manila, but she and Ali haven’t planned it yet. 

Cristine and Ali announced their engagement in September 2015. The couple has one child together, Amarah, who was born on February 8.

Here are some photos from the wedding:

Today I am privileged to experience a wedding like no other. There was not much preparation, no fancy set up, no make up artist, no designer gowns, no live music, just a handful of guests consisting of family and best friends BUT it was totally, totally perfect. Inspiring. #MrandMrsKhatibi #aliandcristine *iphonepic for now

A day before the wedding, Cristine and her sister Ara Mina were already posting photos from Balesin. Among them were of Cristine’s bachelorette party, where one of the activities was a list of dares that Cristine had to accomplish before she tied the knot.
