MANILA, Philippines – After getting engaged in 2015, Cristalle Belo Henares and her fiancé, Australian hotelier Justin Pitt, are set to wed in September.
Cristalle is the daughter of celebrity cosmetic surgeon and entrepreneur Vicki Belo.
On March 10, Rappler caught up with the couple at the launch of Belo Medical Group's Fotona Nightlase, a new treatment for snoring.
Justin and Cristalle shared that they're set to get married on September 15 at Lake Como in Italy.
The location was chosen because of Justin's love of Italy and fine wines.
"So I'm a big fan of Italy to start with, and then Tuscany is obviously where all the good wine comes from Italy, so that was the inital goal, but we came to a compromise," explained Justin.
"Lake Como was the most beautiful part of Italy, and they also have great food and wine. So it's a nice place to stage a beautiful wedding."
Although the big celebration will be held in Italy, Justin and Cristalle will also have a civil ceremony in the Philippines.
Cristalle is also already sure about her gown's designer: Inbal Dror, from Israel. "She's very good, and I love her style, it's mostly lace," she said.

Aside from those details, Justin shared that they're about to lock down the caterers for their big night: "It's going to be quite the night, we're looking forward to it."
"We put a lot of planning, a lot of time and effort into it so far, I'm looking forward to just enjoying the day, and to just be with family and friends and just having a really great celebration of love," Justin added.
The bride-to-be expressed her excitement, too. However, she added, "It's just coming nearer and nearer, and you just get a little bit more nervous, especially because it's... gonna be happening one day in your life, so you have an idea in your head and you want it to be as perfect as possible, so there's a lot of pressure in that."
On the subject of having kids in the future, Justin said, "I mean, I'm getting older, and Cristalle's in her 30s, so it's something that we're gonna tackle straight away," he said.
Justin proposed to Cristalle at the Maldives in September, 2015.
Cristalle is Vicki's daughter with businessman Atom Henares and is the sister of director Quark Henares. She works with Intelligent Skin Care, Inc, the company behind Belo Essentials. – Rappler.com
