Theirs is a great story worth retelling. An important part of their shared history so to speak.  So here’s how it all started as shared by the bride

“ We met through singer KZ Tandingan's friend and Edmar’s cousin Nica. They set us up on a blind date. KZ invited me to go to Extraordinail Nail Salon owned by Nica who is KZ’s good friend. So when I went to the salon that day with KZ, who introduced me to Nica who was there that time.

When Nica found out that I was single, she called her cousin Edmar and told him she found the one for him and she set us up right away for a blind date the next day. Right there and right then, I knew in my heart of hearts that he was the one. And the rest is history.”

The couple, along with their photo & video team, Boholano designer EJ Relampagos, top Manila  celebrity make up artist & stylist Janina Dizon, flew to Italy, one of the world’s most romantic & scenic places for their prenuptial photo and video sessions. 

Looking through the eyes of love

First stop was at Villa La Selva Wine Resort in Florence, the capital of Tuscany then at Montepulciano, one of Tuscany's prettiest towns and well known for its Renaissance buildings, and lovely churches and renowned for its “Vino Nobile” Montepulciano wines.

Edmar’s  steadfast strength  complements the vivacious & sunny disposition of Cathy

Montepulciano’s palaces and beautiful architectural gems punctuated by quaint little houses and surrounded by idyllic cultivated hills gave it its charming, laidback and romantic feel. 

Indeed, the perfect backdrop for the couple’s prenuptial photos and video that would be shown during the wedding reception to be tendered at the Rizal Ballroom of Makati Shangri- la later today.
