While the wedding went on peacefully inside the church, the outside world was thrown into a frenzy. When news broke out about Ray and Ayanna finally tying the knot in an unpublicized luxurious wedding social media came alive.
The first photos that became available online were those of some paparazzi who had managed to get a photo of the groom's group traveling from the Laurence home to the church. At first it seemed to be purely speculation, it was something big, but there were no telltale signs that they were headed to a wedding. They had done such a display in the past when the Reyes Group CEO returned, so it wasn't exactly the first time.
Things became clearer, however, when photos of the groom and his friends at the church were posted on the internet. At that point there was no doubt, the Reyes and Laurence families were truly combining their power and influence.
The first articles and comments to surface harped at how much more powerful the two families would come out after the union.
'If we had a royal family and nobility it would be them, it's like two noble families joining' one commenter said.
'I think the Reyeses and the Laurences are like dukes, the Kings would be the Sebastians.' Some one added, sparking a debate online on who was truly the most powerful family in the country.
Soon there were at least fifty families mentioned that all belonged to the so-called nobility that the netizens were talking about. Among the families they mentioned were the Chans, Abads, Carpios, Ramirezes, Sos, Bernasconis, Roccis, and many other families that people deemed to be part
The tide of the topic soon shifted as a new set of photos from outside the church were posted, they weren't as clear as the masses wanted but they were photos of the bridal entourage in beautiful dresses.
The women began to search for who the designer was but it seemed like they wouldn't be able to find out who it was.
Inside Francesca nudged Selina and showed her her phone.
"Wow, that was quick." Selina said with a grin.
"You guys knew this was gonna happen. I'm sure you have a plan." Francesca said, she knew that Selina was a smart business woman and she was sure that Selina would maximize this opportunity.
"Of course." Selina said with a smile as she craned her neck to see if Maureen was paying any attention to her phone.
Selina quickly typed something and smiled.
"Done." Selina said with a grin as she showed Francesca a now booming post.
"Okay, I shall share." Francesca said as she took out her phone and shared Selina's post.
Ayanna's wedding gown and the entourage's gowns were supposed to be an announcement of their partnership with Maureen Cordova.
Selina's SR designs would be manufacturing and distributing both Maureen's couture line and ready to wear line.
The announcement once again sent the internet into an uproar. Maureen Cordova was known to be an extremely picky designer. A lot of international fashion houses had approached her in the past for a partnership, but they often got turned down.
Even when it came to her clients Maureen didn't let just anyone purchase her designs. Only the true creme de la creme of society was given the opportunity to purchase and wear her designs. So the news of her partnering with someone like Selina shocked a lot of people.
This wave wouldn't last long either, as two adorable faces began to dominate social media. Several guests at the wedding had snapped photos for Tristan and Emilio as the two little boys walked down the aisle. Photos of Emilio helping the younger Tristan captured the hearts of everyone who managed to see it.
'Wow, that Adrianna must be quite close to Ayanna Reyes. Ayanna even picked her son to be part of the entourage and with Nicole Chan's son!' One commenter said on a photo of Tristan and Emilio.
'Those two boys are way too adorable! No wonder Katerina Sebastian couldn't resist posting about them.' Another person on social media said on a photo of the two.
'It looks like Nicole Chan's son found an older brother, and they are so adorable together!'
It seemed that as soon as one topic hit social media another would appear, it was a photo of Tristan crying out and reaching towards the groom's men.
'Oh my gosh, I can't believe we didn't realize this? Why would the assistant Reyes Group's CEO be among the groomsmen?' One quick witted netizen pointed out as photos of Tristan at the wedding began to surface.
'No way. Isn't he a low born?' A person replied.
'No, no, I just checked. Ian Lim is the eldest son of an old rich family that went bankrupt.' Another person commented.
'So he was an assistant for nothing? Why would he stoop so low?' Someone added.
'All the Reyes Group assistants are someone, all save for Cedric Reyes. Camilla Montero is also from a rich family, the current assistants Dave is the heir to one of the biggest banks in the country, while Mae is also from a powerful family. The CEO's assistants aren't just anyone.' Someone said revealing the secret behind the CEO's people.
'My theory, Cedric Reyes is Emilio Reyes' illegitimate son. Otherwise how else would you explain his position in the company and his fortunate marriage.' Someone added.
'Highly possible. He is also quite close to the other princes, but if he were an illegitimate son wouldn't he be hated by the CEO and his friends?'
'Some illegitimate children are welcomed with open arms. I don't see why Cedric Reyes and the Reyes Group CEO wouldn't get along.'
'This must be investigated!' One commenter demanded.
The news almost eclipsed the photos of Ayanna entering the church. Both she and her gown became the talk of the town once the images hit the internet. As soon as the photos hit all else was forgotten and it seemed everyone's attention turned to Ayanna.
Women were jealous of both her beauty and that of the gown she wore, there was no question, this was Maureen's best work. The wedding gown was clearly designed with Ayanna in mind. It fit both her look and the elegance she exuded.
When people saw the way Ray looked at Ayanna as her father gave him her hand many women across the internet became jealous of how much Ray loved Ayanna.
They thought it was a marriage of benefit, but the photos of the couple today proved otherwise. Ray's and Ayanna's eyes were filled with love and affection for one another.
