There may be people who used to doubt their relationship and deemed that they would not last, but power couple and <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime">It’s Showtime</a> hosts Vice Ganda and Ion Perez have proven their detractors wrong as they recently celebrated their fourth anniversary together.In his latest vlog, the Unkabogable Star gave us a glimpse of how they celebrated it together with the people dearest to their hearts at a luxurious private resort in Tiaong, Quezon. Among the attendees were Vice Ganda’s family and close friends, his anak-anakan Awra Briguela, and Hashtags members Wilbert Ross, Zeus Collins, and Kid Yambao.Aside from having fun at the pool and feasting on the sumptuous foods, they also got entertained by the mini program hosted by stand-up comedian Ton-Ton and Hashtag Wilbert, who both offered a song to the couple, with the latter performing his single “Langga.”An audio-visual presentation chronicling Vice and Ion’s love story on-and-off-cam was then flashed on the huge LED screen by the pool, which truly touched hearts and made the two tear-up. It showed clips of their serendipitous first meeting in <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/ggv">Gandang Gabi Vice</a> in 2017 and how their romance continued to flourish in <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime">It’s Showtime,</a> until getting married secretly last year in Las Vegas, Nevada.Afterwards, joyful greetings and well-wishes from their loved ones were displayed, which included Vice’s Beks Friends, their <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime">It’s Showtime</a> family, their respective siblings, Ion’s Nanay Zeny, and Vice’s Nanay Rosario. Hashtag Zeus Collins and his fiancée Pauline Redondo, Hashtag Wilbert, Hashtag Kid Yambao, and anak-anakans Awra Briguela and Argie Roquero also conveyed their messages for them.The couple also expressed their gratitude for the people who have been part of their wonderful and inspiring love story, as well as professed their love for each other through their respective speeches in the latter part of the program.“Kaming dalawa kasi ni Ion, wala na kami masyadong kailangang pag-usapan gabi-gabi. Wala na kaming kailangang ipangako everyday and every night kasi nabigay niya na sa akin, nabigay na namin sa isa’t isa ang assurance na kinakailangan namin para mas maging payapa kami, mas kalmado kaming dalawa. And ‘yon ‘yong isa sa malalaking gifts na naibigay sa akin ni Ion – ‘yong kapayapaan. Siya talaga ‘yong kapayapaan ko sa mga panahon ng kangaragan, sa mga panahon ng ka-stress-an,” Vice conveyed.He went on to share how they have become each other’s source of strength and shoulder to lean on during their fragile moments, which he considers as one of the greatest gifts God has ever bestowed him.Then he told his husband, “I’m just very thankful that you’re always around and I’m very happy na meron akong constant source of strength and happiness, na kahit wala kang ginagawa, ‘yong nandiyan ka lang, ‘yong alam ko lang na nandidiyan ka, ang laki-laki nang bagay sa akin no’n.”The <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/everybodysing">Everybody Sing</a> host also imparted how Ion is the one who makes more effort, who is more sentimental and touchy-feely, and who tends to remember their month-saries and anniversaries more between them. He may often forget about the special dates of their relationship, but Ion is just fine with it and even gives him gifts without him asking for anything from him, to which Vice is very much thankful.He continued with his speech by telling him how much he loves him and by promising him that he will always be there beside him to be his source of strength. In return, Ion vowed that his love for his beloved spouse will never change and he will adore him and be there for him until they grow old. He also hinted about them getting married for the second time and shared how thankful He is to God for always guiding them.Aside from having a partner who has always been proud to tell the world how much he loves him, he also feels blessed to have a family and circle of friends who have been very supportive of their happiness and relationship. And he wishes the same for his fellow LGBTQIA+ members, who are struggling to go out of the closet and express themselves, especially to their families.As an anniversary gift for him, the Unkabogable Host gave him a ring that symbolizes his never-ending love for him and a reminder of the lovely, happy, memorable memories they’ve shared together.The celebration capped off with the fabulous fireworks display Tiaong Mayor RJ Mea, had prepared for them.Watch this video to get a glimpse of the special and wondrous celebration!
