Many Filipinos became successful in this country (UAE) in establishing their career, business, passion and most of it, their love life.

I consider myself as one of the blessed Pinay Expat here in Dubai. I may not be that successful in other things but at least I found the person that I would like to be with forever.
Planning the wedding is a bit stressful and tiring but all are worth it. I remember we are confused if we will pursue our wedding here in Dubai or in the Philippines.

After consulting our parents and weighing things we ended up marrying here in Dubai, requirements are easy but you need to be a little patient in waiting for the process.
