I was amazed with the artwork in this poster the first time I saw it.

I’m digging the vintage feel of it all. This was designed by artist JP Cuison for MangoRed.   MangoRyan wanted us to share this with all the abroad-based W@Wies who may be interested in having a prenup or postnup shoot with them.

R&B princess Kyla and PBA player Rich Alvarez have been engaged since early this year when she got her surprise marriage proposal as she celebrated her birthday in a hotel last January 5, 2011. The couple have been together for five years and are scheduled to be married later this year.

A little over a week, the couple had their prenup pictorial at a beach in Batangas.  Charisse Tinio of Nice Print Photography emailed us a dozen of pictures of the couple to share with our readers.  Here are just some of them…

The player for Talk ‘N Text Tropang Texters is the signer’s first and only boyfriend.  As for her dream wedding, she related this in one interview:

“Gusto ko traditional, ‘yong naglalakad sa church. Medyo may pagka-Filipina ako.  Minsan ka lang kasing ikasal, ‘di ba, kaya maglalakad na ko sa aisle….“

On February 26 (Saturday), actor John Estrada and Brazilian beauty queen/model Priscilla Meirelles will exchange I dos in a beach wedding at the Thunderbird Resorts - Poro Point in La Union.

It was reported that they planned for several pre-wedding activities for their guests which include: a Golf Tournament for the gentlemen, a “Sparty!” (Spa Party) for the ladies, a Wedding Ceremony Rehearsal and Rehearsal Dinner Party, which are happening the day before the wedding.

Yesterday, Charisse Tinio of Nice Print posted the celebrity couple’s prenup pictures.  In this page are just some of them.

(via Phil. STAR) For many a Romeo out there, finally popping the big question to his one true love is accompanied by many tense and nerve-wracking moments. Often, the challenge is how to propose in style, in a way that will sweep his ladylove off her feet and make her fall in love with him all over again.

This is what Dominic “Nic” Francisco, 27, had in mind when he planned his big proposal to girlfriend Jacquelyn “Jack” Reyes. This time, he didn’t plan a lavish dinner, or a walkway lined with red rose petals; he actually had it “published” on his girlfriend’s favorite newspaper, which happens to be The Philippine STAR.

It was like something straight out of a movie, a unique request that even The Philippine STAR couldn’t say no to.

Nic, who works as a software developer for Smart Communications, initially thought of doing the proposal in a more traditional fashion. But he thought of a better idea that would surely catch Jack’s attention. “Jack really loves reading, especially The STAR. She spends half the day during weekends reading all the sections of the paper,” he said.

He sent an e-mail to The STAR inquiring about a personalized front page where the question, “Will you marry me?” would be the day’s “headline.” The STAR was more than happy to assist Nic with his request, where the customized front page came complete with an article of Nic recalling the early stages of their relationship and how much they have grown together.

Big day

Nic chose to spring the surprise on Jack’s 27th birthday, giving her the customary flowers and her favorite newspaper neatly tucked under. Clueless, Jack didn’t realize that the day’s edition was a personalized copy, which The STAR helped design for Nic to mount his unique proposal.

But when the surprise began to unfold as she was poring over the special issue, Jack could not contain tears of joy. “It was the most wonderful birthday gift I’ve ever received in my entire life,” she said.

“I saw the roses, and the personalized shirt that said, ‘Will you marry me, Jack?’, but nothing could ever beat seeing the headline printed on my suking newspaper, The Philippine STAR. For an ultra-shy guy like Nic, I know it was an herculean task for him to pull off that stunt,” she reminisces.

Thus, as the self-effacing Nic went down on his knees to ask for her hand, Jack could only give him a resounding “yes!”

Jack, describing her beau as a certified torpe, recalls that it took Nic a couple of dates, countless text messages, and an awkward realization to finally come up to her and admit that he’s in love with her. “That’s why when he finally told me how he did it, he all the more captured my heart. Everyone was in awe of Nic’s idea,” Jack said.

Bright future ahead

The couple is currently in the frenzy of preparations for their wedding, which has been set on Oct. 7, their 55th month together.

“Preparing for our wedding is both stressful and exciting,” shares Nic. “We’ve been going to a lot of bridal fairs to look at the things we need as well as get discounts and freebies from suppliers. Despite the hassle, we still smile a lot because we’re doing this for the two of us. After all, the most important thing is our union.”

 It’s been more than three years since Dominic and Jack, both 27 years old, became a couple and while that may seem like a short span of time for some people, Nic has absolutely no doubts that Jack is “the one.”

“For me, the strength of a relationship is not simply measured by the number of years that you’ve been together. It’s every single day that you share with each other. We’ve gone through a lot but what’s important is that we learned from all these experiences may it be good or bad and now I’m ready to be with the girl that I want to spend the rest of my life with.”

Soon-to-weds nowadays don’t just settle for a video coverage of their wedding day. They also star in their own prenup videos where they get to act and be part of a big production.  GMA network’s magazine show, Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho had a segment about pre-wedding videos in it’s episode last night.  It includes interviews from Charisse Tinio of Nice Print, Jason Magbanua, and Alvin Paver of Mayad Studios.

Watch the prenup video segment below.

Shout-out to Junnel Maranan for sharing the link to the above clip.  Some of the actual prenup videos included in last night’s feature are those that we have previously shared here (i. e. Victor Consunji + Maggie Wilson by JMag; and Jun Sunga + Vanessa Matsunaga by Mayad).

One other prenup video featured was sort of a spoof of prenup videos. Cyril Sorongon + Bernice Flores had a Filipiniana theme for their wedding and the wanted to capture it on video. Since they can’t afford the likes of Jason Magbanua, the settled for comic Ramon Bautista to “direct” their prenup.

Here’s the hilarious result!
