Married Filipino Women Marrying Foreigners

By Roberto Picardo

Lately, Filipino women otherwise known as "Pinay" has filled up internet cafes in order to search for a foreign husband. There are those who are honestly looking for true love online and sadly there are women who want to marry foreigners mainly for financial reasons. These women are the ones who will do anything just to marry foreigners.

It is my personal belief that there is nothing wrong to desire to marry a person that is stable financially. I would even consider it a very a good decision to choose somebody who is financially stable and by that I am not saying that he or she must be necessarily rich.

I also believe that there is nothing wrong with marrying foreigners. In fact I have good friends who are married to foreigners.

Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against Filipino women who marry rich foreigners, for as long as they marry because they truly love their foreign spouse.

What I am critically against is when a Filipino woman marry foreigners for financial reasons or just in order that they could be saved from poverty or for the purpose of going abroad.

It may be unthinkable but some Filipino women really do this. In fact I would go the extent of calling them as having "prostituted" themselves just to attain a much more higher standing in life. These type of women do not even care if the guy they are marrying is old enough to be their grandfathers.

A much more disturbing situation is when married Filipino women present themselves online as as single when in fact they are married. I came across sad stories of broken marriages being attributed to the wife having a foreign boyfriend even if she is still living with her husband.

You might think such situation is the ultimate scandal. But be prepared for more, the ultimate scandal is that some Filipino husbands even consent to what their wives are doing. What happens is that when the foreigner comes to the Philippines, the husband simply claims he is a relative.

Shame on the Filipino women who are doing this, More shame to the husband who consents to his wife's illegal deeds. A more scandalous circumstance is that we are not doing something about it as a people. This indeed is what we would call as the "Pinay Scandal.

Choosing Your Wedding Band Tips

By Angeline Cogger

Live bands, wedding bands are essentially the same thing as they both play music to an audience. When searching for a band on the internet it may be a good idea to be a bit more specific in your description as to your requirements as there are many types of bands that will suit many different types of occasion.

Remember, this is your wedding and your choices, not the bands wedding. Feel free to ask them to learn to play songs that you want to hear that they may not already know. The majority of bands are more than happy to oblige you since learning new songs are for their benefit as well.

Choosing your wedding band may be easier than you may think it is. You can use search engines like Yahoo or Google. If you type in words such as wedding band or bands wedding you will most likely come up with a great many search results from which you can choose.

How do you know if the band is worth hiring? There are a few things that can help you make up your mind. For instance, does the band have an account with MySpace, FaceBook or do they have their own online website? If so, you can check out their songs, music and videos.

Also do they have a list of venues played at in the past so that you can obtain testimonials from them? Does their website say when and where their next gigs are? If so go to one of them that will give you a great indication of what to expect.

Many worthwhile bands are willing to work with you. They can customize their set to suit your requirements, even if this means learning some new songs to play for your event. Many worthwhile bands find this refreshingly challenging since it helps them improve their act.

Remember having the right band is as important as having the right venue at a wedding. The venue should have a live music licence if not then you are in trouble so it is always best to check this before paying any band or venue any money.

Find out from your choice of location if they can accommodate the band and their equipment on stage as well as in the parking lot, since there will be some heavy equipment to be loaded and unloaded with the bands wedding.

By Aaron Hu

You may be inching towards the special day at a seemingly huge rate of speed, but you still have yet to choose the perfect, unique wedding favors for the event. Rest easy and be assured that you will not have a difficult time choosing ones that will tie into your celebration, if you simply follow five small tips. These tips will prove to be all you will need when you set out in search of the ideal favors to help may the special event memorable and add the right touch.

The first bit of advice will be to choose favors that are affordable and allow for the greatest of ease when purchasing them. Whether you need a few or a few hundred, making sure that the store you purchase from can deliver on the quantity will be very important. Take quality into account as well when searching for favors that are different and deliver on representing your personalities also.

The second thing that will be important is to have your color scheme available when you are ready to choose your favors. This will cut out a lot of unnecessary browsing and will save time when you are picking them out. Choosing colors that compliment or will work along pleasantly with a color scheme you have chosen, will work best. However, you may find that many styles also offer you the option of pairing favors with other accessories and decor in contradicting patterns, colors and styles may work as well. It is clearly preference and there are no set rules in the book of favors etiquette.

Third, you will want to choose wedding favors that compliment the celebration and will also allow guests to keep them as a keepsake if they desire to do so. Chances are you will have many family and friends that would want something to cherish and help them to remember your special day. Nothing comes close to supplying that needs as well as a wedding favor that is unique and different. Choosing something that will directly let others link to you and your significant other will be ideal. You can often use them to personalize the celebration and event and let others know a little more about whom you both are and your likes and dislikes.

Fourth, choosing something that is fun and whimsical is always a hit with guests and your favors should be no exception. From items that represent tradition to outlandish, bright and scream fun, favors can be found in both categories and everything in between as well. Outgoing personalities do well when choosing ones that are different and may use fun, loud colors and the styles may be just as boisterous. More reserved personalities may opt for something in soft colors and are more centered on tradition. Either way there is something out there that will be fun, allow you to choose with ease and let your guests return home with a trinket representing the special day.

The fifth guideline centers on having fun in choosing the favors. Have fun and do not stress when the time comes to choose them. Be open to all that you see and you may even surprise yourself and choose something you would not normally choose. Finding something you will both be happy with, will assure you that the guest will be happy with as well.
