It took us four years to bring WeddingsAtWork.com (W@W) from an internet domain name to a printed form. For some, the transition may seem like a long wait but to us, the timing is just right.

Back in 1999, formally launching a local website devoted solely to Filipino weddings was unheard of. Selling the idea to the wedding industry proved to be no easy task. We cannot blame them. The concept was new, the medium unfamiliar. Besides, the only credential, if at all, to back-up the two of us was our having been married a few months earlier. What kept us going were the soon-to-wed members (fondly called W@Wies) who gave life to the site and made it their home.

Today, W@W serves as the benchmark that other sites try to emulate. The old wedding sites started to inject substance in their content. A number of new sites came out with a few folding-up after a year. But while other sites exist mainly to profit, W@W is there to assist. Verily, our website stands as a link between the couples and the wedding professionals. W@W helps the bride realize the wedding she has always dreamed of, while giving added business to suppliers by providing them with a venue to capture potential clients here and abroad. W@W has built a community of brides and grooms which serves as a support group, helping them every step of the way and educating them on how to deal with their wedding suppliers better. And while other websites generate commissions from each booking they deliver to the supplier, W@W chooses to help couples and the wedding suppliers gratis et amore. As a result, we derive genuine support from wedding suppliers who truly value the site. These remarkable relationships made this book possible.

What you are holding now is only the first title to a series of wedding handbooks we’ll be offering annually. We call this “The W@W Wedding Primer” because it contains essential planning tips from us and some wedding professionals, plus advice from the real experts -the brides! This primer complements the site so you can take W@W anywhere you go, to assist you in your preparations. Since you cannot have your PC in your bag, this handbook comes as a suitable alternative.

Go ahead. Flip the page or click a mouse. Either way, we’ll put WOW in your wedding!
