"Eternity Vows"

CEBU, Philippines - A wedding is a memorable occasion. That being the case, every aspect of a wedding shall be perfectly planned, down to the finest details. To most, if not all, a wedding is a "first and only" experience.

The fair, according to Sarrosa Hotel and Residences President Jefferson Tan, includes a fun-filled Speed Dating soiree, on the first day, open to all single ladies and gentlemen wishing to play their luck on love. Also, various wedding coordinators are attending to help couples make their dream weddings come true.

On the second day, a Bridal Lounge is held, where couples may consult with Cebu's top makeup artists and gown designers for expert advice on makeup and on wardrobe and styling - all for free. There's also a free test shoot with participating wedding photographers. An evening "Bridal Forecast" fashion show takes place in the evening, featuring pieces by Cebu's top bridal wear designers and upcoming bridal wear retailers.

On the final day, exhibiting participants are raffling off various gifts and prizes for everyone who come to the fair. Marriage and relationship consultants are also at hand to entertain questions.
