The couple exchanged vows on Thursday, January 15, 2026, in an intimate wedding ceremony that delighted fans and loved ones alike.
Netizens caught a glimpse of the special occasion through photos shared by Mayad Studios on social media.
In the post, Paolo can be seen wearing a white tuxedo, while Rachel glowed in a traditional white bridal gown—even posing alongside their beloved pet dog.
The photos were accompanied by a caption that read, “Starting with a classic beginning and ending where it all makes sense. Paolo Benjamin Guico and Rachel Guico’s love comes full circle. #MayadJaime #Paochella2026.”
Meanwhile, prior to their wedding, Paolo shared a snapshot of himself and Rachel with Father Tito Caluag on his Instagram Stories, writing: “Biggest day of our lives. 1.15.26.”

Fans online were quick to react to the post.
One fan commented, “Congrats and best wishes Mr. and Mrs. Guico.”
“Congrats the other Ben,” another said.
One netizen added, “Congratulations Paolo and Rachel!”
Paolo-Rachel Engagement
It was in January 2025 when Paolo announced his engagement to Rachel.
He shared the proposal—set against a dreamy garden gazebo backdrop—on Instagram, capturing the touching moment as he got down on one knee to ask Rachel to marry him.
The heartwarming clip was set to Ben&Ben’s own song “Tomorrow With You.”
“Tomorrow with you my dear. Thank you for saying yes,” Paolo wrote in the caption.
On December 9, 2024, Paolo also penned an anniversary message for Rachel, whom he called his source of strength.
“Happy third anniversary dear!! This year has brought so much growth within us, and through the toughest of tests, you’ve been my teammate, my inspiration and my source of strength,” Paolo said.
He went on: “Thank you for reaching my deepest layers, and loving me for who I am. I wanna face tomorrow with you, as it comes.”
