It is Miriam and Ardy’s second marriage. Miriam is divorced from former husband Claudio Rondinelli, whom she married in 2004 while Ardy’s wife passed away a year ago.

Miriam was radiant in her Francis Libiran gown as she walked down the aisle with her groom, founder of Salt and Light Ventures, which organizes and promotes learning events. 

Miriam's sleeveless gown is fully-embroidered and has a dropwaist silhouette.

The officiating minister was Pastor Jonathan Camcam of the Victory Christian Fellowship.  Pastor Joby Soriano of the Christ Commission Fellowship reminded the newly-weds about the importance of commitment, communication and forgiveness.

Among the principal sponsors in the Christian wedding were Gary Valenciano and wife Angeli Pangilinan-Valenciano, Coney Reyes,   Alex and Judy Tinsay, Paolo and Jenny Punzalan, Peter and Christine Kairuz and Vic and Avelynn Garcia and Kata Inocencio.

Husband and wife Anthony Pangilinan and Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan were the veil sponsors.

The ring bearer is Ardy’s six-year-old son.  The flower girl is Solana Pangilinan.
 
Ardy’s former staff described the groom as “quiet and reserved, a dignified gentleman and Christian.”
