The blossoming of romance

“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.”— Mignon Mclaughlin

 Romance blossomed once again as dashing Antonio Chan, son of Antonio Austria Chan and Consuelo Uy Chan, was united in matrimony with his lovely sweetheart Margarita Locsin, daughter of Makati Rep. Teddy Boy Lopez Locsin Jr. and Vivian Yuchengco. Close friends and family took part in the momentous occasion for the joyful couple. The occasion was indeed a memorable one which was graced by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and First Gentleman Mike Arroyo. Guests beamed with happiness as they witnessed the two lovebirds tie the knot.

May you have a happy and fulfilling marriage, Antonio and Margarita!

A warm send-off

Friends of Ed and Carrie Bautista recently attended a despedida party hosted by the lovely Minerva Tanseco at her residence in The Ritz Towers.  Both Ed and Carrie will be temporarily residing in Jakarta due to Ed’s work at Avenue (Asia) Investments. A sumptuous Japanese lunch was prepared by our gracious host Minerva.

To Ed and Carrie, God speed!

Johnny congratulates...

Consuls Mellie and Louie Ablaza were judged as the evening’s most elegant couple at the recently concluded Opern Ball held at the NBC Tent, Global City. Cheers!
