Nikki's glamorous wedding

 
My darling friend Nichole Reyes became Mrs. Bernard Mercado last Saturday in a fabulous wedding over at picturesque Tagaytay Highlands. I can't get over how glamorous Nikki and Bernard's wedding was! Here are a few photos from my camera but I'll be stealing from Facebook in a bit so you get to see nicer pics.

The couple arrived at the altar looking like Barbie and Ken. Hmmm, actually, Barbie and Ken never looked this good! 

Kiss! Kiss! Berns and Nikki kiss really cute, by the way. They kinda go, "Mwah!"

 
Me and Vince! We wore matching gray. I wore a gunmetal silk jersey gown with a beaded bodice while Vince was in a gray suit with a black shirt and tie (I have another pic in my mommy blog).

Now I've been to a lot of weddings but this has got to be the most stylish wedding I've ever seen! It wasn't a surprise though--Nikki and Bern are always very well groomed and dressed up, even when we just have silly chats at home or when we're off to a spa for a treatment or to get our skin ID'd. You just never see Nikki in a tee and jeans, and sneakers are alien to her! Look at her gown!

The teeny-tiny waist
That voluminous skirt is beyond amazing!

The guests were also dressed to the nines. I wish I could've gotten more photos but I didn't know all the stylish people there so I was shy to ask them for poses. Here are a few:

Nicole in a pussy-bow silk blouse and a full tulle skirt. I should've gotten a pic of her shoes--it has triple bows at the back!

Red looking dashing in a suit, a red pin-striped shirt and bow tie.

Elaine looks like a fairy in her nude dress. Very on trend!

Kabbie in a summery maxi dress with a coral bib necklace.
Gorgeous girl in yellow. I'm going to have a dress made just like that!

Here I am with the newlyweds right after the fireworks. We're soooo happy! Nikki and Berns, you guys are so perfect for each other. But life isn't perfect so I'm glad you have each other to weather the storms and find beauty and fun in life and in love. Congratulations!

Hot! Hot! Hot!


OK
!'s March issue is out and it's hotter than the weather! Look at that cover—it looks like we slathered testosterone creams on it then set it ablaze! Johnny Depp is my favorite. Yumminess to the extreme. I don't mind David Beckham either as he's just oozing sex.

Now that Robert Pattinson... well, the girls love him so he's there. But I can't stand the guy. He's like John Mayer. I mean, what is up with his interview with Details magazine? He says, "I really hate vaginas. I'm allergic to vagina." Well, thank goodness I don't want him anywhere near mine but I feel really bad for all the girls who love him. Ladies, he hates your vaginas. What are you going to do???

Meanwhile, we do have other testosterone-free stories. We have a big story following Taylor Swift, arguably America's biggest star these days, on her tour bus, backstage, in her dressing room and performing onstage. It's a fab story! We also have a lovely interview with Susan Boyle. She's a charming lady, that Susan. Anyway, lotsa lotsa great stories so I hope you grab a copy!
