Beauty queen-turned-actress Maggie Wilson and fiancé Victor Consunji generated a big buzz days after their "hot and steamy" pre-nuptial video dominated the cyberspace.
Created by one of the premier Filipino videographers in the country, Jason Magbanua posted the video on video-sharing website Vimeo on November 27 (http://vimeo.com/17231058).
In the three-minute video, the soon-to-wed couple was shown kissing passionately on the stairs, car, bed, and swimming pool.
Though a handful of comments were generally positive, saying the video was "super hot" and "profoundly artistic," many individuals and conservative groups were scandalized with its approach and concept.
Others expressed disapproval after watching the video, commenting it was "inappropriate."
"It's a great video but totally inappropriate to show during the wedding reception, if they are. Imagine lolo, tatay, father-in-law, best man, male sponsors, brother, brother of the groom, uncles, father's friends, male friends, underage cousins, nephews, waiters watching this. geez," commented wonderlass on Vimeo.
User Lee Tallod agreed it was inappropriate for a pre-nup, but nevertheless praised Magbanua for his creation.
"WOW!! impressive! kudos to Jason Magbanua! But for pre-nup I think inappropriate..it breaks our tradition.. what is the real meaning of a wedding.. ;( no offense.."
In an interview with entertainment website Philippine Entertainment Portal, Wilson said they came up with a different prenuptial video because “we wanted to revolutionize wedding videos.”
"Halos lahat ng wedding videos, puro pa-cute, puro pa-sweet, and we wanted to do something different. Yung nakakaintriga talaga," the 21-year-old actress said. "The original reaction that we wanted to get from the people is we want to make them feel uncomfortable."
Contrary to what others deem, both of the couple's parents have watched and even liked the video.
Wilson and Consunji will tie the knot on December 18, 2010.

Ogie, Regine wish for baby boy after the wedding
In just a couple of days, Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez will finally tie the knot in what is said to be the "wedding of the year" come Decemeber 22, 2010. So, what's next for this couple?
Regine has openly expressed in previous interviews that she wanted to have a baby soon. Both she and Ogie are wishing for a baby boy.
"Actually, kung kami po ay papalarin at bibiyayaan ng Panginoon ng anak na lalaki, pangatlong Herminio sana.." Ogie said. Herminio is the singer/songwriter's real name.
"Maganda sana 'yun dahil wala pa akong anak na lalaki. At parang gusto naman ni Regine ng anak na lalaki," he said. "[But] whatever the Lord grants, of course, we will accept and be very thankful for that."
Ogie has two daughters with ex-wife Michelle Van Eimeren, namely Leila and Sarah. If lucky, he wants to add a little 'Herminio' to the Alcasid family.
"[But of course] si Regine hindi na rin naman ganoon kadaling magkaroon ng baby. If we will be granted by God with a child, we'll be very, very grateful and thankful."
Meanwhile, Michelle, former beauty queen hailing from Australia, will not only attend Ogie's second wedding but will also help in its preparations.
"Si Michelle ang gagawa noong flowers ng entourage at ng pinaka-boquet ni Regine," Ogie said.
As for the floral arrangement in the wedding reception, florist Badang Rueda will be the one in charged.
For his two daughters, Leila will be the bridesmaid and Sarah will serve as the Bible bearer if permitted in a Christian wedding.
In earlier interviews, both Ogie and Regine expressed their decision not to have a honeymoon because of their hectic schedules and showbiz commitments right after the wedding.
Instead, the couple will have a short family outing in Bohol which is like, according to Ogie, a "Christmas outing" for the whole family.
With just a couple of days left before the wedding, last minute preparations are being handled "in every detail. Regine and I are preparing ourselves spiritually with some people," Ogie said.
Ogie was also asked if President Aquino would attend the wedding, and the groom confirmed that PNoy would be one of the groomsmen.

More details on Prince William-Kate Middleton Royal Wedding
After several rumours and speculations about the details of the wedding, the date and location of Prince William and Kate Middleton have been finally confirmed.
Dubbed as the Royal Wedding of the Century, the nuptials is set to happen on April 29, 20100 at the Westminster Abbey, city of London.
The abbey is a traditional royal matrimony site where the weddings of Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother occurred. The funeral of Prince William’s mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, was also held there.
“The venue has long associations with the royal family — it is, in many ways, the royal family’s church — and, of course, with William personally,” Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, the prince’s private secretary, told reporters.
Charles and Diana, Prince William’s parents, were married in St. Paul’s Cathedral, but after 15 years the couple divorced, as did three other royal weddings at Westminster Abbey in the past 50 years.

Charles and Diana, Prince William’s parents, were married in St. Paul’s Cathedral, but after 15 years the couple divorced, as did three other royal weddings at Westminster Abbey in the past 50 years.
However, he marriage of Prince William’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, to Prince Philip at Westminster Abbey survived the test of time and has endured since 1947. After six years, the queen was crowned at the abbey in June 1953, almost a year after the death of her father King George VI.
The wedding next April is predicted to attract millions around the world, just like Charles and Diana’s royal wedding.
As for the priest officiating the wedding, sources reveal that the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams will most likely grace the matrimony.
The Reverent Michael Macey, senior minor canon at Westminster Abbey, has been put in charge of drawing up the service. Weekly meetings have started to sort out the arrangements.
Meanwhile, Britain's Prince Minister David Cameron has declared the April 29 as a national holiday to let Britons join and witness the royal festivities.
“We want to mark the day as one of national celebration. A public holiday will ensure the most people possible will have a chance to celebrate on the day,” Cameron said.

Furthermore, the British President said that the wedding, as anticipated by many, will be a “happy and momentous occasion.”
However, those who cannot be at the actual wedding can still feel like they're attending the "real deal.'
Because of the major buzz and excitement of the crowd, British stations are considering airing the royal wedding in 3-D.
But if ever the plan pushes through, getting featured in 3-D will not be a new experience for the royal family. Queen Elizabeth's coronation was filmed in 3-D as well. The 17-minute video was shown on television in both Britain and Canada.
