Solenn shares wedding video, marriage tips, and how she knew Nico was The One

Kapuso star Solenn Heussaff and husband Nico Bolzico celebrated their first wedding anniversary on Sunday with a fun dance they shared on Instagram. On a more serious note, however, Solenn also posted their wedding video and shared nine tips on making a marriage work that she learned in the 365 days they have spent as a married couple.

The 15-minute video showing highlights of the couple's wedding in France last year was shot by the team of prominent wedding videographer Jason Magbanua.

It also features testimonies from the couple. "I won't tell you anything new I haven't told you in the past five years we've spent together, but there's one main lesson I learned from you and it's that love...is something you work for every day. That's why I promise not just to love you forever but to also love you every day," Nico told Solenn.

The tearful bride responded with her own vow. "I cannot promise you that I won't hate you at times, but I know I will love you harder even when it hurts. I cannot promise you that I'll be the best mother to our children, but I promise you I'll keep learning. I cannot promise you many things as I am not perfect, but you have loved me and you've been understanding and patient and forgiving throughout all my imperfections. My love for you will never stop growing and whatever happens I'll always be here to help you to always love life," Solenn said.

Solenn also revealed nine lessons she has learned in the past year she and Nico have spent as husband and wife.

1. Make sure you have freedom, yes. But more importantly, have trust.

2. Encourage each other to continue doing the things that make the other person genuinely happy.

3. The One is someone you will always learn from. He or she pulls you up when you’re down. He or she makes you feel better about yourself.

4. Money is often a source of fights, so keep mostly separate finances, but have a joint account for joint expenses like the groceries, utilities, etc.

5. Do not settle into a routine. Always make an effort to change things up.

6. Get to know what the other person’s hobbies and interests are. Take up activities together, then balance that with time apart. (Me-time is super important.)

7. Keep rediscovering each other. People will always change, and the key to a happy relationship or marriage is learning to fall in love with each other again and again, in spite of the changes.

8. Don’t forget who you are and always stay true yourself. If there’s something you strongly believe in, stand up for it.

9. Know that whether it’s a boyfriend-and-girlfriend relationship or a baby marriage or a long-term one, as long as you are genuinely happy… Well, may forever talaga.

In a separate blog post, Solenn revealed how she knew Nico was the one for her.

"[W]hen I started falling in love with Nico, I was like, He’s so perfect. He’s so nice. He doesn’t care what time I come home, he doesn’t judge my friends, he talks to everyone I care about. I was like, there’s no way I’m supposed to be with him. But I guess it’s true. You do end up with someone you’d never imagine ending up with," she wrote on her blog.

She added, "I knew he was The One when I saw myself falling in love with him throughout the different stages of our life together. He’s someone I can love over and over again." — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/BM, GMA News
