Meanwhile, Maxene’s sister Saab wrote on Instagram that she’ll be unable to go to the wedding due to her pregnancy.

“Today my maid of honor gets married and, as her matron of honor, I’m so sad that I can’t be with her physically. I recently learned that I’m not allowed to travel anymore until after the twins’ birth. I really wish I could be there, but with her big and selfless heart, she told me not to worry about it because the safety of my babies is what’s most important. I love you, [Maxene], and I am currently crying buckets from Manila. (I’m also wearing my matron of honor dress in bed like a crazy woman. It’s the hormones.)”
