MAGIC IN MONTEMAR
Montemar was the perfect setting for Maica Salud and Benny Tady’s union as they exchanged their “I dos” before 300
Maica Salud, founder of RSVP Studio (an eveningwear rental and styling studio) and physician Benny Tady first met at a common friend’s birthday party in 2008. “There wasn’t really any big moment when we knew we were “the one” for each other,” professes Salud, adding “We just both realised that we were our best selves with each other and that we push each other to be better.” A decade later, Tady proposed to his longtime love, and a year after, the fun-loving twosome decided to hold their all-white wedding reception at the Salud family’s private home overlooking the ocean in Montemar, Bataan. “We love the beach and the islands, so having the ocean element part of our wedding reception was always a given,” shares the new Mrs. Tady. The bride was a vision in a vintage gown passed down from her grandmother, which she entrusted to Vania Romoff to reconstruct. Of course, being the RSVP Studio queen, no wedding night would be complete without two more dress changes, both by Martin Bautista. Of the revelry, she fondly recalls, “We like to look back on that weekend and think that it had such a fun and light vibe throughout. The fun factor was definitely our priority.”
“Humour at the centre of our relationship—that’s who we are as a couple” — Maica Tady
