Model/host Tricia Centenera-Valenciano entered 71 Gramercy in an all-black outfit with her signature purple lips and undone, side-swept hair. On a normal night, this is Tricia on her usual of night-outs. But this is not like any other. It’s her big send-off party before she flies out on June 3 to Los Angeles, California to reunite with her recently wedded husband Gab Valenciano.

So the evening went on: There were small talks over wine and booze on what her friends will miss the most, long hugs and kisses from family and industry clique—safe to say, the night was all about love for Tricia.

Sister-in-law Kiana Valenciano says, “I don’t want you to go. But since you’re gonna make my brother happy, fine. I’ll let you go.” And this is where brother-in-law Paolo Valenciano chimes in by saying, “I’ll miss my brand new sister I’ve only gotten to know for a few months.”

But Tricia promises that she’ll be back in no time: “Gab and I will be back very soon. Manila will always be our home.”
