Margarita Fores' son Amado ties the knot with Carmela Fortuna
Margarita Fores' son Amado has tied the knot with Carmela Fortuna. Congratulations!
On his Instagram Stories, Amado has reposted snaps and videos of his wedding day, which looked absolutely happy.
According to the posts, Fr. Tito Caluag was the officiant, Sonja Ocampo provided the beautiful cake, and guests included Representative Sandro Marcos and broadcaster Korina Sanchez, whose Instagram post showed President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, Jr., and First Lady Louise Liza Marcos were also in attendance.
In her post, Sanchez wished for the newlyweds to "stay on Cloud 9 for eternity."
"Margarita your Mom is grinning from Heaven," she added.
In February, Amado announced Margarita's untimely passing, saying "It is with a heavy heart that I share the sudden passing of my Mom, Margarita A. Forés."
"Our family is mourning this unexpected loss, and we kindly ask for your prayers during this time. We will be able to share more in due time," he added.
Margarita, who was named Asia's Best Female Chef in 2016, is the genius behind restaurants like Cibo, Grace Park, Lusso, and Cafe Bola. Her son, Amado, followed in her footsteps, opening successful restaurants like A mano and Steak and Frice.
In March, Margarita was honored with posthumous award by The World's 50 Best Restaurants, which Amado received in Seoul, South Korea.
He also received the Presidential Medal of Merit given to Margarita and other cultural icons including Nora Aunor and Gloria Romero last May.
But enough of the grieving for now. Congratulations and best wishes to Amado and his beautiful bride, Carmela!

Darren Criss waves PH flag on Instagram as he highlights news about being the 'first Asian actor to win leading actor in musical'
When Darren Criss won his first two Tony Awards on Monday (Philippine time) — Best Actor in a Musical and as co-producer of Best Musical "Maybe Happy Ending" — he made history as the first known Asian actor to win the leading role in a musical category, as mentioned in an earlier GMA News Online report. Playbill Magazine also zeroed in on the history Darren made, saying in an article that "This is Criss' first Tony Award, and he becomes the first Asian American actor to win in the category." On Instagram early Wednesday (Philippine time), Darren posted a screengrab of the Playbill story and in the caption, waved the Philippine flag emoji. None other than theater super star and fellow Filipino Lea Salonga recognized his Pinoy pride on display. In the comment section, Lea wrote, "I knew I recognized that voice! It's mine! Thanks!" Lea first waved the Philippine flag in the global theater scene 34 years ago, in 1991, when she won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for "Miss Saigon." Thirty-four years later, she finally gets her Filipino counterpart at the Tony Awards. But that's not all. Nicole Scherzinger also won the award Lea first reaped — Best Actress in a Musical — for her work in "Sunset Blvd." and a 3rd Filipino, Marco Paguia, bagged a Tony Award for Best Orchestrations for the musical 'Buena Vista Social Club.' Mabuhay, indeed! — LA, GMA Integrated News
