Got wind of this promo by SEAIR (South East Asian Airlines) which is celebrating its 15th anniversary on March 25.

The company is giving away free airfare to couples celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary on the same day.  Likewise, teeners who are celebrating their 15th birthday on that date gets the same sweet deal.

Eligible parties simply need to present the necessary legal documents (i.e. marriage and birth certificate, whichever is applicable) upon purchase in any SEAIR ticketing office. Promo selling period is from March 25 to 31, 2010, and travel period is from June 16 to October 15, 2010.

By the way, the carrier is also giving a discount of P1,500 per way for limited seats in all flights booked via www.FlySeair.com. [SOURCE]

They’re hot off the press!

Get your FREE copy of Bride’s Yellow Pages (BYP 2010 edition) during you visit of Mandarin Oriental Manila wedding fair to be held at  slated on March 20 and 21, 2010 (Saturday & Sunday).

The event also coincides with the promo dubbed “Our Wedding Proposal,”  a special raffle draw open to all engaged couples who attend the grand wedding fair and who book their wedding at the hotel. First prize is a voucher for a PHP500,000 banquet, to be applied to the couple’s wedding function. Also at stake is a weekend stay at the Mandarin Oriental Club, as well as a dinner for two at The Tivoli.

Next week, BYP will be available for sale (P100/copy) at The Wedding Library (SM North Edsa & Megamall) and at the Filipinas Heritage Library (Makati).

(via Business World) Bridal custom is much in demand in the Philippines and competition is all the more fierce with the proliferation of wedding venues that cater to the whimsical (or magic realist) fancies of a couple tying the knot.

Mandarin Oriental Manila has decided to step up its game by providing that extra little something that can’t be had elsewhere: two clothing designers are exclusively part of the preparations — Monique Lhuillier by way of a table collection for Royal Doulton, and Estien Quijano, who lends a hand with the themed banquet sets unique to the hotel.

As an added perk, an ongoing promo dubbed “Our Wedding Proposal” offers a couple registered at the hotel with the opportunity to win a free P500,000 wedding reception in a raffle draw, and an invitation to the hotel’s bridal fair on March 20 and 21. The promotion is open to all engaged couples who confirm their weddings with Mandarin on or before April 15 — even if the wedding is set for 2011.

“When the themed venues came in, 2008-2009, we really felt it. We worked at being accredited at these places — we do outside catering… But when you opt for a venue outside the hotel, you have to pay for the venue as well as the catering, the photographer, all this, but the hotel is a one-stop shop, the ballroom is dressed already. We give more, the clients get more,” said Cyndy Austriaco-Cuna, Director of Conferences and Banquets for Mandarin Oriental Manila. [READ MORE…]

BEST. PROPOSAL. EVER.

Guy and Gal have been going out for a year when Gal thinks of throwing Guy a surprise party. She goes through great pains of organizing the awesome event, inviting all their friends and keeping everything top secret. She thinks she’s successful, especially when his face genuinely lights up as they all shout, “Surprise!” at the big reveal.

Then, just as she’s glowing in triumph, he turns to her and uncovers an even bigger reveal: Guy gets on his knee and asks her to marry him, whipping out a beautiful diamond solitaire as the entire room erupt into another round of “Surprise!”

Turns out, Guy knew all about the party after all, and it was Gal who got way more than she bargained for.

You think you can top that? Send the BEST. PROPOSAL. EVER. and you could win a gift certificate for a prenup pictorial with Chito Cleofas and many other prizes!

If I didn’t know my brother any better, I’d say he’s tripping into playing Santa in August by finding who’s “naughty” or “nice.”

But Fol Rana, Jr. is a passionate photographer & a true gentleman at work. Enough said. *nakana! Ayos ba yon, kuya?*

Bridal Boudoir, in layman’s term, is a sensual pictorial of the bride. Yeah, kinda like a massage without oil and sans body contact. It’s not for everybody though.

Any why would a bride want to do this? Fol cited these usual reasons said to him:

• I want to give a great gift for my groom on our wedding night
• I am tired with just the usual prenup and engagement shoot
• A perfect first anniversary gift to my husband
• A totally different way of seeing myself
• I want to reward myself
• I want a little adventure
• I want to feel pampered, beautiful and sexy
• I have been waiting for this
• I want my grandkids to see that I was hot

Oh, did we tell you already this Marathon Boudoir Shoot is FREE? But do note there are limited slots so the sooner you gather your guts, the better.
