Before I Do Bridal Fair 10th Ed. Post-Event Press Release

The “Before I Do” Bridal Fair 10th Ed. was held last November 18 to 20, 2011 at Megatrade Hall 3, SM Megamall. Organized by VRC Creative Events Management Corp., headed by Wedding Planner, Coordinator & Events Organizer extraordinaire, Ms. Summer “Sam” Carullo.

The Before I Do Bridal Fair had more than 80 exhibitors with tons of activities, cool raffle prizes and even a surprise wedding proposal of Ace Apostol to Kay Tarroza last November 19, 2011. Wingdingz Invitations bagged the Top Booker title with 61 bookings and the photo entry of Rochel and Lee won the Best Prenup Photo Contest. Rochel and Lee got 1,52 votes and won for themselves a wedding cake! Their official photographer, Nice Print Photography, won an overnight stay at One Tagaytay Place!

Before I Do Bridal Fair was supported by Hotel Vida, Party Channel, Sound Level, Nice Print Photography, Business World, Wedding Planner Magazine, Wedding Digest, 88DB.com, Bridalbook.ph, Kasal.com and Herword.com.

VRC Creative Events Management Corp. was KIND enough to offer to have a fairly NEW and UNKNOWN “talent manager”, Ana Marie G. Herrera, showcase her YOUNG and brilliant “pool” of singers/performers and lone instrumentalist/saxophonist. The “stage” was available to “entertain” the exhibitors, partners, sponsors and guests of the Bridal Fair.

Dale Guevarra, Voce Bella (female singing trio: Princess Faith Priel, Jinky Cruz and Eizel Mercado), Harvey Sison and Mhyr Priol Flores serenaded as well as surprised and amazed those present inside Megatrade Hall 3 with their PURE, CLEAR and POWERFUL God given voices.

The 3-day Bridal Fair provided the necessary exposure for the “talents” to prospect couples. To date, because of the group’s participation … even if just for 2 hours each day, Ms Herrera CONFIRMS a booking for a wedding between Mr. Wowie Benitez and Ms. Gail Duque scheduled on February 11, 2012! ☺

This event also paved the way for the group to provide the “opening” performances for the HerWord.com 10^th Anniversary held last November 30 at the Eastwood Central Park.

Bookings of the “talents” can be scheduled and coordinated through Ms. Ana Herrera (Talent Manager), email: ask4talents@gmail.com and mobile number (0916) 532-1745.

VRC Creative Events Management Corp. will have another event scheduled on May 26 and 27, 2012. If you need to look for the best suppliers for your wedding or special occasions be sure to attend the next Before I Do Bridal Fair!

Thank you!

As we bid 2011 goodbye, allow us to

- our supporters, exhibitors, sponsors and clients. We had a good year, blessed and full of trials and accomplishments to be grateful for. We wouldn't have done it without your support and confidence in us and in our services. Because of you, we strive to be better everyday.

An Exhibitor's Wedding

It was October 28, 2010 when I got an email from Angie Radan (she owns Realm Salon and they joined our bridal fair last 2009) with a subject heading - Wedding Invite.

Before opening it I thought "For sure this was sent by mistake". But lo and behold, it was really intended for us! This was a sweet surprise. Why? Because it's the first time that we got an invitation (a wedding invitation at that) from one of our bridal fair exhibitors. I was fighting tears of joy from falling down my checks. I was really touched. I never thought that we meant that much to Angie.

Another surprise came on the day of their wedding when they mentioned us during their thank you speech. Mega touched na talaga ako! A very special testimonial indeed!

Below were Angie's emails -

1st email-

Boss Alvin and Summer:)

Sending you our e-invite for December 3. We want to send out all invites before November 15 and I know it'll be impossible to meet you guys before that since it's the PEAK for all wedding suppliers:) Just so you know, Ritchie and I are thankful to you both because you have played a very important role in our lives as a couple and as business partners. You're truly a part of our growth and success as a wedding supplier in this very interesting world of weddings:) God has used you both in inspiring us to continuously grow REALM and be a channel of HIS blessings to more people:)

We hope you can join us on December 3:) God bless you both!

2nd email-

ang galing kasi eh . . . we're just starting a family and VRC has brought us so much blessings:) medyo nakikilala na din namin ang mga tao sa industriya and there are only a few whom you can trust:) see you!!! Mwah!!!

Below are some pictures we took on the day of their wedding.

Kasal.com's "The Wedding Proposal Story" Contest

A few weeks ago I received an email from Kasal.com, a long time event partner of our event - Before I Do Bridal Fair Series. They have an ongoing online contest for couples, "The Wedding Proposal Story" Contest, and they want me to be part of it. I was so happy, shocked and excited all at the same time when they asked me to be one of their judges and of course, I immediately agreed. 

There were several entries that needed to be scored. Some proposals were something I've heard of already. Others spoke of the lengths they've done to execute their plans to propose. There was one guy who even gave his girlfriend 3 engagement rings! Sweet =)

I salute the men who really made an effort to make the day of their proposal very special. If I were in the shoes of these ladies, I would fall in love all over again. Read their stories for yourself (click the name of the couple to be directed to their love story). 
Ann & Bry
Katherine & Lito
Adonis & Karen Sue
Limuel & Ianna
Jet & Jen
Chris & Tintin
Charles & Lara
Joey & Jennifer
Kate & Arnold

Aside from having a dream wedding, girls look forward to the day the man they love would propose to them. When I was a little girl, there was a time when I wondered.. Do girls get to keep the ring if the relationship doesn't go to the next level? Does a girl who is proposed to have the heart to say "No" if she doesn't feel it's the right time? Does it always have to be a diamond ring? Some men uses a family heirloom as an engagement ring. What if it doesn't fit my personality? Hahaha! Too many questions for a 10 year old. 

This contest made me think back if I ever did dreamed of being proposed to and how. I actually can't remember. Maybe I'll write about it when I remember. It was my dream wedding that got stuck in my head up to now. And it stayed as a dream...

But so far... nothing still beats my favorite proposal ever. And this one always makes me cry.

Anyway, I hope my personal favorite for this contest wins.

Always stay safe and be happy. 

Many blessings!

Before I Do Bridal Fair 8th Ed. Press Release

The million-dollar question was finally popped and the “YES!” you gave him must have sounded like wedding bells. The place, the background music, even the food was well-thought of by your now fiancée to be sure that the mood was right when he asks for your hand. For a moment there you might have transported yourself down on memory lane when you were once a little girl who dreamt of having that fairy tale wedding, with the white pristine wedding gown, fresh and lovely blooming flowers, and of course, your own prince charming, and now you are just a step away from your happily-ever-after or maybe a couple steps more. But what do you really do before you say “I do” and make it as memorable as the engagement?
