country and even the world’s top fashion designers. Monique Lhuillier,
for one,who was born in Cebu in 1971, has become world famous especially
for her bridal wear collection. Her A-list clientele includes names as
big as Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, and many more.

Rodriguez, OJ Hofer, Protacio Empaces, and other famous Cebuano designer
names, it doesn’t mean walking down the aisle with utter lack of style.

3. You and your significant other can exchange your “I dos” in Cebu’s historic churches.

What could be more romantic than
marrying your beloved in a church like the Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño
de Cebu? It is a church that is so rich with history and was built to
withstand earthquakes and other severe weather conditions, just like
what you would like your marriage to be, right? Another popular bride’s
choice, because of its lengthy and immaculate marching aisle, is the
Cebu City Metropolitan Cathedral. It is another old and historic church
in Cebu with its first construction attempt dating as far back as 1689.
