Forever: The Jason Francisco - Melissa Cantiveros Nuptials

Hello people! :) It's time! 

I was invited a few weeks ago to a very special event. It's the wedding of Jason Francisco and Melissa Cantiveros. I love these two and you probably know I've been covering them on fashion shows, movies and events for a long time. For us, the people reading this post right now... it's but a fantasy for us to see them end up together... and yes this has been fulfilled.

I went to General Santos City in a heartbeat by booking a flight a few days after. I've never been to this place before. I didn't think about the events that I've cancelled, or the tons of backlogs I have in this blog... I just felt I had to be there. I felt if I missed this, I'll be getting tons of hate from Melason fans all over the world LOL (jowk).. but really, I just wanted to go there because I consider them my friends. It was like a special day for them and I didn't want to be second guessing at home and make nganga. People were asking me if they paid for my fare and hotel, I politely said no... I just felt, I just got to be there because I love these two. Okay, enough of the drama and let's go back to business. I know you guys are waiting for this!

The blow by blow accounts I made on twitter by the way were all true, but I'd be able to tell the stories with photos now. It's time!

Jason and Melai Spotted 10/29/2013

Hmmm.. You guys probably know that I've been trying to find latest photos of Jason and Isay for the longest time. Last one wasn't mine and twas a couple BTS shots of their prenup. I haven't seen them for a long time and I was so sad. Honestly it's okay with me because i'm sure they've seen a LOT of people... They've got millions of fans but I was so happy to have met them again a while ago. 

Jason didn't recognize me but for me that's okay. Isay had to remind him who i was and i figured i had to re-introduce myself. Maybe i figured they have met so many media people in their lifetime and I'm just a cute blogger hahahaha

I was so happy to see them in the ABSCBN lobby when I got down of the elevator. I immediately snapped a few shots and felt that was rude of me... Naexcite yata ako hahaha... But really when I saw them I immediately turned into a fan. I wondered why are they here? Do they have a new show? Are they doing something new? I got no answers lol pero okay lang :) just seeing them was enough for me. :)

Isay was so nice. She said she remembered me hayyy... Look at her holding her tummy. I am so happy for these two. Hopefully we can talk a bit more soon about their baby and plans after the wedding. I hope i can get to cover that too. Hay :( so I'm just sharing these latest photos with you guys so you know how they look like now. Yun lang po hehe. Do you remember the first time you've seen them? When was it? What did you do!? :)

Richard Gutierrez for BENCH GUTZ & GLORY!

Well, I'm gonna make this short and sweet because there are tons of photos you need to see. Much of course of the newest fragrance of BENCH. If you think about what Richard Gutierrez exudes in all the roles he's played in TV and in the Movies, you might have different perspective on how he treats each challenge and adventure he encounters. With a very busy lifestyle and a passion for saving the environment, this nature lover surely has something up his sleeves when it comes to fragrances. It also means there's something for everyone as he executes this with a HIS and HERS version and named it GUTZ and GLORY!

Ready?

BENCH CEO Ben Chan, Annabelle Rama, Eddie Gutierrez, Lorin and Venice were there to support Richard Gutierrez.

 She wore this Orange number (not Red!)! Annabelle Rama looked fierce! 

Eddie Gutierrez still looked good as the hearthrob he was, a lot of people wanted to take photos with him like a true matinee idol!

Gorgeous Ruffa Gutierrez wore an Avel Bacudio creation if I'm not mistaken. I kinda know most of the structured pieces he makes and this is probably one of them! Hugs the body so nicely, form fitting... it looks so good on her!

DJ David Callum provided music, of course he provided good looks that evening too to the enjoyment of the girls! =)

Then the show started!

Young, relaxed and preppy these guys came out with possibly what they will show this Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2012 collection. I guess the season calls for it. I have those exact same pants at home. I bought it last week from their OJ Americana line.

I think they are gearing towards light materials. The shirts are more on the Earthy side though. This change in color palette didn't veer away from a cooler shade. I wish there were bigger sizes but it might be just me who's calling for it haha! Oooh and I got some of those shoes too!

I adore these long sleeve shirts too. It's more on the trendy side because you can mix and match it weather for formal ones or just shorts. I love this bit!

And then he appeared!

He looks so classy in this coat and shirt. The whole ensemble is completed with classic pants from Bench. He's one heck of an endorser, it's his time to launch a new fragrance that men and women would absolutely love! The actual fragrance was formulated and made in Grasse, France so you are sure you get your money's worth. He's got input on choosing this too, so if you like Richard's taste it's time you get one of these GUTZ & GLORY!

Now that was quite a show LOL oops it's not over yet!

It looks like there's a second installment of this show. It now goes to something more appropriate in the evening. I love this, they are wearing coats and pants more for parties and things a guy wanna do when the time calls for it. Maybe picking up girls haha.

 

The cardigan tops and coats signify the time is a little cooler on holidays so there's a definite purpose there. The long sleeve shirts are nice. I love how they played with black and grays on this bit.

Even though it's on the dark shades it's still relaxed. I think they emphasized on comfort even as the season changed. I'm loving it!

Then Richard Gutierrez came out again! =)

Then the only ROSE among the thorns also strutted the runway...

After all that testosterone filled stage, she was a breather! She was HOT!

And it looks like Richard Gutierrez was happy! =)

Gutz and Glory is now available in all leading BENCH stores nationwide. Make sure you look and feel like Richard Gutierrez the next time you shop. I love the show so much, its like a teaser of what's gonna transpire come Philippine Fashion Week. Congratulations Richard Gutierrez! You truly deserve to have your own scent now! Thank you BENCH and Suyen Corporation for having us that evening! Muchas gracias!
