All of us at the Filipino Bride & Groom have been busy working to provide you some tips and tricks of the trade to make your wedding day that much more special.

“No one wants to look at their pictures and say Oh my God, I look fat!” says Marie Olave about her motivation to lose some weight before her wedding date.

“Those pictures last a lifetime,” she adds. For couples planning a wedding, some may say the weight of wedding preparations is enough to keep them from lifting the weight in the gym. But the benefit of being in shape transcends looking immaculate on that special date.

√ 1. Have a plan and a realistic goal. “Don’t leave it ‘til crunch time to do your crunches,” says Paul Taylor, owner and head trainer of Brickhouse Gym.

√ 2. Makes subtle substitutes. Choose brown or multi-grain for your bread choice and opt for a salad insteadof fries.

√ 3. It’s about teamwork. Encourage each other and celebrate each other’s successes, and exercise together when your schedule permits it.

Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime experience, full of beauty, magic and love. Let our wedding team plan, organize and carry out your wedding so you and your family can enjoy the  full experience leading up to and on your big day.
