Holy moly. Five-star Hawaiian resort prices. Those mactan resorts are just a tourist trap for like rich Japanese and Koreans or whatever that don't know any better. Developing countries are supposed to be bargains and much cheaper. That place is way overpriced
That is a fairy tale wedding ! I hope and pray that they will live happily forever! They must both remember this special day, put down in writing all the wonderful feelings they have for each other so that when they face trials in the future, they may read back their journal and draw strength from their love for each other! Best wishes to the newly married couple!
We have stayed at the Shangra La in Makati and it’s an amazing experience. They have 5 in the Philippines and they have 2 in Thailand plus many other countries. My friend stayed at the one in Maldives and said it was great. Thanks for sharing and it’s really nice of you to participate in his wedding with your gf and daughter.
A lovely bride, very feminine. A gentleman of a groom. Oh I wish I could gate-crash, but I'm too far away in Europe. Next time na lang. Thank you for showing us the lovely wedding!
I would never have the patience to endure such pageantry. Jack is a saint (and a good man) for paying for all the expenses of making his bride happy. Let's hope that he's repaid a thousand times for benefits of being married.
Definitely overkill as will bite him in the butt later as setting himself up for failure by not just opting for a simple civil wedding. Filipinas are simple type of women and not materialistic as he is going to change her wrongfully by his extreme actions.
@@matthewhull2596 I agree that Filipina’s generally are happy with a simple civil wedding and are generally not materialistic, especially compared with western women. But let’s not judge his actions of providing a dream wedding for his bride, it’s his choice. True she may be tainted by an extravagant lifestyle but she too has made her own decisions and it’s her choice to be married to him. Let’s just wish them love and happiness in their marriage.
@@hardmtnbiker Thank You for the kind words. My wife wanted a small beach side wedding. It was MY IDEA for her to experience a wedding like this. She is NOT materialistic at all. But comments and disagreers are always welcome. I am living a WONDERFUL LIFE. I pray and hope you enjoy yours as well
@@jackwolfanger2806 congratulations! Yes I believe you that she probably just went along with your choice to give her a dream wedding and didn’t ask for that. I took my wife to El Nido at the Lagen Island resort. I didn’t let her know that I had booked that trip and took her to Puerto Princessa first to the Astoria resort first where we met up with some friends. She was shocked that I had booked such an expensive resort in El Nido and honestly said that she would have tried to talk me out of it if I had consulted her before. The bottom line is a good Filipina is not seeking a extravagant lifestyle that a rich man can offer. They are seeking companionship with someone who truly cares about them and shows them that they care by being there for them and not neglecting spending time together.
@@GiointhePhilippines Looking forward to it Gio. I am very happy that the 4 vloggers I am following married their Filipina GF and you will be next. Yeah!
Why do them woman make U.S. men marry them? Obviously for the upgraded life one could assume. Not the old hair lost and a man twice her age I guess. Any comments on that
One of my favorite resorts, have been there many times. Great dining with water view at Cowrie Cove restaurant. Crimson resort hasn't yet reopened after the typhoon, nor has Movenpick. Sheraton & Dust Thani are very nice but dont compare to Shangri La. Shangri La Boracay is even nicer than Mactan and another favorite : Shangri La in Makati, Manila still hasn't reopened from Covid shutdown...which is a shame because its a gorgeous hotel. Gio...sorry about the suit snafu....still looked like an upscale bartender...but Maya looked 5 star!!
That is a full wedding, kudos to Jack for making his lady happy. Nora didn't look too happy today, probably too much going on for her. Everyone looked great and must have had a good time.
Hey in middle class Filipino circles the weddings are grand affairs ..it’s only because the majority of foreigners date the leftovers…the province girls …and they are generally happy ..to go along with the foreigner guy and his wishes. Most Filipina would like the fairytale wedding…
Jack took the pole, line, hook, sinker, and bait... Whoa.. Guy in the wedding party he's never met before? Moving a bit fast there.. When are you going to take the bait Gio??? Somethings in the water down there in Dumaguete.. Hopefully it won't spread to Angeles City anytime soon.. That's a wrap ,Game, Set, and Match.. Good luck Jack!!! Lechon Baboy is a fitting meal after that.. Atleast he's got the money for it.. Let's hope it holds out...
Always go to the place where you’re renting the tuxedo from or having them custom-made and have a pre-fitting and make sure everything is set in advance. That way you know the pants fit in the sport coats, not too tight in the guts. Nice place to have a wedding the roasted pig looked amazing! I wonder how much money was spent on the whole wedding total cost??? That place would’ve been perfect for a kind of a casual fancy. Your beach wear wedding like Hawaiian shirt kind of thing.
My wife and I were married at Shangri-La Makati in 2007. Officiated by a (now) former Supreme Court Justice. Our wedding was about the same size. They treated us very well and it seemed cheap as borscht compared to North America.
The room doesn't look any different than any room at other hotels/motels. Does not look luxury. Definitely not luxury looking hotel style or setup from what you are showing. It's not worth what cost expectations are.
Congratulations to Jack and his bride. $600 a night is a little rich for me but you only get married a few times in your life, I wish I could say once. Hope you and Maya had fun!
@@suckthis1152 I don't party in Dubai but could if I wanted. I have been to this place and no way is it worth the money. The rooms are old, musty and run down. Most men who watch this channel want one woman. My idea of partying is going snorkeling or scuba diving and then having just caught lobster on the beach or on the boat with family and friends.
Hotels cost and Airfares suck nowadays ,due to inflation . Many hotels globally have increased their rates by at least 25% pre pandemic .Some are even more than 50% . Even when using miles or points theyre basically worthless . For example ,Holiday Inn 5k points pre covid will reward you one night stay .Now,they demand 20k .
Stayed there back in 2007 or so, very nice but the security there is crazy. Philippine Airlines had what they call the Swing Around Deal where air and hotel was included for one price and of coarse the price depended on the hotel you choose.
There is an intimate restaurant in the resort called "Tides" which is open to non hotel guests in the evening. Very expensive but worth a visit with a special someone.
My first thought was, where are the golf carts? They know there are retired people, why not provide a golf cart? Nevertheless enjoyed every minute of Jack's wedding and the video of it. Thank you Gio for sharing.
This is where I married my last wife. Divorced now but coming back next week to visit Philippines. This place is totally great. 20 years ago The one thing I was disappointed with is all the food server and the extras they wouldn't allow take-home.
The grounds and beach are very nice at that resort but the rooms are just average hotel rooms that have never been upgraded in 20 years. We stayed there a few years ago in a deluxe room which consisted of two twin beds (single beds). There were 3 of us! We called up the day manager and asked how could a 5-star resort have two beds made for kids in one of their rooms....which is supposed to house 3 people? Yes, they moved us to another room but it was only slightly better. Would never stay again nor would I recommend this hotel. There are far better resorts on Mactan Island to stay.
Wow, that was quite a fancy wedding. That would be over my budget (I'm guessing 30k-50k USD for the total cost) for everything but for sure, an experience to remember.
Been there done that a week and a half ago in cebu. The hotel is nice, however they charged $110 extra per guest per nite for the standard king suite. How did you like the 2500 peoes buffet dinner. It has a small dance show that the staff puts on.
I'm curious about this . . . In Thailand we get married in a government district office and then often have a village ceremony which is quite different from a church ceremony. It is filled with local village traditions and it is quite different than anything found in the west. Is there something like that in the Philippines? Or is it church weddings or hotel weddings because it is a strongly Catholic country.
Best to your friend. I have to say Shangri La Mactan is one of my favorite -- if not the favorite -- resorts I have visited in the World. And I've traveled a lot. I prefer the Ocean wing over the Main wing; there is a cost involved, I think it's worth it. Staff are delightful. The marine preserve off the beach is amazing. I have seen monster clams, sea snakes, puffer fish, moray eels... I could keep going. Thanks to COVID we haven't been back since Dec 2019 but I want to go. Last time there I got a killer deal on the Presidential Suite and it was the stay of a lifetime.
Bought a condo in Mactan. It's being remodeled now. I go to Shangri La all the time. The house with the green roof from your room is owned by the guy who sold the land for Shangri La. My last girlfriend was one of his full time nurses. He travels in his own ambulance from estate to estate. 😆
You guys are in the Ocean View tower. It's expensive but if you factor in the free food and drinks on the top floor and the free breakfast buffet it's not so bad. We like it also for the private pool right on the beach. The Chinese restaurant is first class outstanding food. We enjoy Shangri-La Mactan.
She looked like a beautiful bride but only a few split seconds of seeing her, lucky man it appears and after he said they talked all day and into the night it bodes well for the their future..fingers crossed anyway 🙏🏻🌹🤞
Hello 👋you both looked dashing, Gio and Jack😊MAya and the blue girls look beautiful! Nice hotel, too fancy. I am with you casual wedding is the best! Wedding day is May 22 it's only March. Anyway... congrats and best wishes to the newly weds🎉 Catch yah🖐️
Great video. Congrats to Jack and wife. That wedding looks like it cost the same as house in the Philippines. I remember when I stayed there during the pandemic and it was 6000 and change for a night including a couple thousand peso a day allowance for food. How times are changed back to pre-pandemic pricing it’s a great resort but it’s not worth $500 a night. for that, I could be in an Italian hotel near the coast, eating far superior food.
As i said before theres a sucker born every minute. I want you all to be honest here. Did she married for love? You think she is in love with him? Or could be any other motive behind it. Let me know your honest opinion.
I've got an Air BnB @ One Pacific Residence in Mactan Newtown for a week in April......Shangri-La is nearby, I will definitely check it out (to grab drinks or dinner). Cheers 😁
"Day of the Wedding" May 20, 2023 ... ?. WoW, In America it is still March. That time zone thing is awesome! I will come there for a week, record the stock market figures for the past few months and fly back. the I can retire this year!
Before watching the video, I only saw the title Gio. I was like, damn, my "Boi" is finally getting married. It's about freakin time......LOLOLOL!!!! Anyway, congrats to your friend and his new beautiful bride. ---- Semper Fi!!
The breakfast at the lounge: Oh, no! It seems to be very poor. Normally I eat like a python. But here I can´t. I want for example chicken, fish ( ok you got fish pakistani), meat ... And the juice is that normal "powder" junk? But the view is fantastic.
Im just excited to watch i thought uts your wedding with maya lol u prank me kidding love u guys.see u in ur next vlog ingat enjoyed and congrats to ur friend next time i want to heard ur wedding ok lol
Wow that place is expensive Gio good thing you don't have to pay for it. That place looks really incredible and they have burgers and a breakfast buffet to nice 👍👍Congrats to the groom that pool incredible as well. Thanks for the tour Gio 🆒🆒😎😎 are you and Maya going to be the next ones married? 😎😎
I just watched one of Geo’s vids from a year ago, he was talking about if he would get married. It seemed a little strange but I don’t blame any of them for getting married.

Glad to see Nora made the trip. Beautiful place.

This is where I married my last wife. Divorced now but coming back next week to visit Philippines. This place is totally great. 20 years ago The one thing I was disappointed with is all the food server and the extras they wouldn't allow take-home.
We were allowed to take home all of the food left over. Really was a super experience
The grounds and beach are very nice at that resort but the rooms are just average hotel rooms that have never been upgraded in 20 years.

Been there done that a week and a half ago in cebu.

How did you like the 2500 peoes buffet dinner. It has a small dance show that the staff puts on.
I was charged $250 per nite.
Congratulations Jack.
Great wedding, love the hotel, looks like it was alot of fun.
Wish you both, the very best in Life.
Gio, I keep hoping to come back to the Philippines... I have stayed at that Shangri-La in Cebu a couple times... Loved it there....
I'm curious about this . . . In Thailand we get married in a government district office and then often have a village ceremony which is quite different from a church ceremony. It is filled with local village traditions and it is quite different than anything found in the west. Is there something like that in the Philippines? Or is it church weddings or hotel weddings because it is a strongly Catholic country.
You can just do a civil wedding.
If you want to show that you have money, then have the wedding in luxury hotel. In the countryside, wedding traditions still being practiced.
Hoping he makes the right decision Good Luck
I love staying here and they have a world-class scuba diving shop attached to the resort as well.
Co gratulations to your friend. Gio So u r no longer living in dumaguete????

Bought a condo in Mactan. It's being remodeled now. I go to Shangri La all the time.
The house with the green roof from your room is owned by the guy who sold the land for Shangri La. My last girlfriend was one of his full time nurses.

Nice hotel, too fancy. I am with you casual wedding is the best!

Thanks for watching!
Yea, I messed up The wedding was March 22
Congratulations and thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
I wish a lifetime of happiness to the new couple.
Hey Gio, Maya, and Nora, you all looked very nice, congrats to Jack and his new bride, enjoy your stay, the hotel looks nice.
Not bad Gio, formal top and jeans are cool. Making new fashion in my perspective.
I liked it :-)
Nice place. We stayed there for 10 days back when it was about $150 per night. 55K pesos wow!
Lol the same thing happened to me at the Shangri La in Boracay …special rates the week after lol.
Let me know if
Ok Maya I will let you know if :-)
Hahaha 😂
Pricey, but a heck of a nice place
Nice wedding, and you all looked good!
Gio You Have The Patience Of A Saint.
Congratulations to all
Great video. Congrats to Jack and wife. That wedding looks like it cost the same as house in the Philippines. I remember when I stayed there during the pandemic and it was 6000 and change for a night including a couple thousand peso a day allowance for food. How times are changed back to pre-pandemic pricing it’s a great resort but it’s not worth $500 a night. for that, I could be in an Italian hotel near the coast, eating far superior food.
Absolutely, I agree. Civil wedding for me.
It was 250 per nite for me, less than two weeks ago. Must book months in advance to get good rates.
Congratulations
beautiful place maya has a natural beauty make up dose her no justice.
I would LOVE to photograph a wedding in that chapl and I do not like doing weddings. Except for the one that was in a cemetery...... that was cool 😎
As i said before theres a sucker born every minute. I want you all to be honest here. Did she married for love? You think she is in love with him? Or could be any other motive behind it. Let me know your honest opinion.
Yeah, what a sucker...now he has to sleep with a gorgeous woman every night that will probably do everything that she can to make him happy.
Gio I am sure your wedding is just around the corner! Will Phil be your best man? At least you should have ScubaChef cater your event (LOL)!
I've got an Air BnB @ One Pacific Residence in Mactan Newtown for a week in April......Shangri-La is nearby, I will definitely check it out (to grab drinks or dinner). Cheers 😁
Dinner and drinks on the beach 🏖️
Awesome hotel, very classy move for your friend to put you up there. 🎉
Yes it was!
"Day of the Wedding" May 20, 2023 ... ?. WoW, In America it is still March. That time zone thing is awesome! I will come there for a week, record the stock market figures for the past few months and fly back. the I can retire this year!
Obviously a typo 🤣
From my tower at 8 Newtown - I'm looking at Shangri-La - but have never been there.
Before watching the video, I only saw the title Gio. I was like, damn, my "Boi" is finally getting married. It's about freakin time......LOLOLOL!!!! Anyway, congrats to your friend and his new beautiful bride. ---- Semper Fi!!
Soon 😅
Did you say 65000 pesos for a 2 night stay? That’s nuts anywhere!
Yea, crazy
The hotel room looks like a Marriott Courtyard
try Paris...double that figure for 5 star hotel
I think Maya just melted my heart! Blessings to you all 🙏
I’ve been there before it doesn’t stack up to a 5* hotel. Also way overpriced
Congratulations Jack and gio have fun they must made your suit for a little person have fun 👍
3:44 May 2023?? You guys are really living in the future😊
Yea, typo March 23rd :-)
The breakfast at the lounge: Oh, no! It seems to be very poor. Normally I eat like a python. But here I can´t. I want for example chicken, fish ( ok you got fish pakistani), meat ... And the juice is that normal "powder" junk? But the view is fantastic.
Don't you mean March 20, 2023 instead of May 20.
Yes

I agree, Maya is so naturally pretty. She doesn't need makeup.
What was that thing that one guy did with your hand when he touched your hand to his forehead ?
It’s a sign of respect for older people or the elderly some thing young people do
Yes, it's a sign of respect to an older person.

I just watched one of Geo’s vids from a year ago, he was talking about if he would get married. It seemed a little strange but I don’t blame any of them for getting married.
Geo you got me laughing when you were singing God bless the new couple, Gio soon I’ll be your next wedding lol
Congrats Gio! 😀 Im just joking bud. Hey its a nice video and venue also. Still watching. Gio you were giving John Travolta a run for his money bro! 😀
