Kung Hei Fat Choi!

If you have already chosen a wedding date and it doesn’t appear on our auspicious list, don’t fret!

The ‘good’ dates indicated in our annual list are meant as general guide only.  Weekend dates are in boldface so they will be easier to spot.

Although those dates are based on tung shu (Chinese Almanac) and appeared in the list from at least three different sources, we do not claim that we have the final say on the matter.

We advise soon-to-weds who value feng shui to consult with a professional and trusted feng shui master by giving each of their birthdates and exact birth time (sometimes even birth information of the parents from both sides) for a more accurate analysis.

Head on to our list of Auspicious Wedding Dates for 2010!

Attention Wedding Suppliers: kindly check your company’s listing in the W@W Suppliers’ Directory (go to the page where your directory entry appears, scroll down, and click ‘modify records’), and let us know of any necessary changes in your contact information on or before Wednesday (January 27, 2010).  This is our cut-off date for the final database before we publish of the 2010 edition of the Bride’s Yellow Pages (BYP) slated to come out this March.

We were actually scheduled to come out in September until the devastating floods brought about by ‘Ondoy’ came.  We then decided to hold off its printing until things get back to normal and wait until the busy holiday season’s over.

This early, we would like to thank all our advertisers for their continued support to our publications.  For those interested to advertise in BYP 2010,  you may email Benz or text/call her at 0917.850.1026 for queries about ad rates and specs.

Late last month, we have launched and distributed the 2010 W@W Desktop Gallery — a glossy desk calendar featuring the works of 12 talented photographers, namely; Fol Rana, Jr., Jay-Jay Lucas,  Jayson & Jo Anne Arquiza, Nice Print Photography, Lito Genilo, Robert Lester, Jervy Santiago, Richie Macapinlac, Oly Ruiz, Erron Ocampo, Rupert Nicolas, and Chito Cleofas.

Several copies are ready for dispatch as our Yuletide tokens to our friends in the wedding industry.

For those of you who are interested to get one, limited copies are already available at the bookshop of Filipinas Heritage Library in Makati and at the Wedding Library (SM North Edsa and Megamall branches only) for P100.

We would like to congratulate Raymond Fortun for being named the 2009 Supplier of the Year (SOTY) in this year’s W@Wie Awards in ceremonies held at the Blue Leaf Events Pavilion. It’s been one amazing crossover of a man from the courtroom to the altar.

Raymond is part of the Top Ten (actually 11 for there was a tie in one slot) wedding suppliers for 2009.  They were formally introduced via video presentations especially done for us by Chug Cadiogan. The production of the video took several days for Chug and his team did not just interview the awardees; but followed each of them while at work, and even shot ‘mini-me’ versions of each supplier complete with props and costume!

We’re presenting these clips here in the same order the were presented last night.

Here’s our Top 10 (in order of interview/appearance): Bob Nicolas (video), Angel of Hearts (flowers), Jayson & JoAnne Arquiza (photo),  Eloquente Catering, k. by Cunanan Catering, Josiah’s Catering, Phoeben Teocson Cinema, Nice Print (photo), Rejectkrew (mobile),  Raymond Fortun (photo), and Threelogy (video).

From the list above comes the Top 5 Wedding Suppliers of 2009!

And finally, the man of the hour: the 2009 Supplier of the Year!
