I won! ♥


Ever since I got engaged, I love to share how Ian popped up the magic question at Boracay. I’m an avid fan of wedding sites some of them are W@W, Kasal.com, Philippine WeddingScenes, Bridal Book.ph, Themes and Motifs, etc.. While browsing at my Facebook, I found out that Kasal.com has another contest called “The Proposal” Contest 2nd Edition, out of curiosity I open their website and saw this article.

“A romantic candlelit dinner-for-two – wonderful food, perfect ambiance, a smile playing on his lips. Tonight, there seems to be something different in the air, and you wonder. Finally, the love of your life takes your hand, gets down on one knee, and holding out the most beautiful ring, asks,“Will you marry me?”

Aaaww…Isn’t it wonderful remembering the day you said “I WILL” to saying “I DO”? If you think his or her proposal was the sweetest, most unique, most romantic ever, write to us this unforgettable moment and you might just win 3-days/2-nights for two in Stotsenberg Hotel and Leisure Park!

Send your Proposal story to kasal.comteam@gmail.com until June 12, 2012 . It may be in English, Filipino or even Tag-lish, funny or dramatic, sweetly traditional or crazy creative. We’d love to hear them all! We don’t expect masterpieces. Just write clearly and in proper sequence for your readers’ benefit. The more unique the story, the better.”  (Article from their website)

As soon as I read this, I had no doubt to join in this contest. I like to share Ian’s proposal! And since I already wrote about this event, I easily copy and paste our story from my personal website. By the way, here is the contest Mechanics from their website.

Well, very overwhelming!


As soon as I open this gift from Kasal.com, my officemates and I tries it. We put some make-ups, and be kikay just for a day. Haha. Sorry no photos, ayaw kasi namin magpapicture eh.. Haha. Anyway, Super thank you to Kasal.com for the gifts, I really love it! Btw, gagamitin daw ng mga officemates ko yung makeup kits on our wedding day. Haha.

Congratulations to ROYCE & AISHA for having the most "kilig" proposal story and BERT & DHES for having the most "liked entry! Enjoy your 3-days/2-nights for two in Stotsenberg Hotel and Leisure Park! :)
