A beach wedding for Aiza Miss Universe kicks off
This will be a series of movies for the the 4
swimwear round
There’s something about nature that brings out the romantic in Aiza Seguerra
and Liza Dino. First, they got married in a forest-themed ceremony in San Fran-
cisco, California on December 8. 2014 (US time).
The couple is tying the knot again, this time in the Philippines on Thursday,
January 8, with a beach miles away from Manila as backdrop.
Guests are advised to come in comfortable pastel-colored beach attire (black
is a no-no). The do-it-yourself wedding ceremony will be followed by “dinner, booze,
singing, dancing and lots of kissing.”
Aiza and Liza’s invitation, which included a map going to the wedding venue,
said guests can bring their pets because “they’re family.” She maintained, “It’s just a matter of
