The world is her groom! That’s right, the candidate from the Philippines, Luisa Beltran, was the winner of the first Bride of the World contest, held in Singapore last Thursday.
Runner-ups came from Bolivia, Ukraine, Russia, and Peru.
The semi-finalists were Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Denmark, Korea, Germany, Moldova, Estonia, Lithuania, Malta and Romania.
Bruno Kettels, Mister International 2009, tried to help as an interpreter for the Spanish speaking candidates, however, he could nor understand the questions in English, or properly translate their answers!
Miss Philippines, the only finalist who spoke English, became the eventual winner.
It’s important to point out that the Filipino beauty did not win only because of the her interview. Her beauty and elegance impressed everyone throughout the competition.
The 38 brides competed in national costumes, sportswear and wedding gowns.
Congratulations to the first ever Bride of the World, from the Philippines!

Congratulations to New Bride of the World and the organization, for the second editión from this original beauty pageant, the first was in 1993, kind regards. i…
wow congrats miss philippines
I ant to see Luisa competing for 2011 Miss Philippines Universe Pageant. She can be the next Venus Raj.. Go Luisa!
Congratulations!!! Philippines is still one of the most powerful country in beauty pageant. I think the winner, Ms Beltran, should also promote church wedding to implement a spiritual and legal bind for couples, especially in our country Philippines where population is increasing every year, and additional couples have no idea on the importance of church wedding, because I think it’s not only wedding gown is important for a woman but the way she nurtures and guide her family.
Totally an undeserving win!! The Heavyweights from countries like Venezuela, India, Puerto Rico did not participate. Wonder if Ms Philippines would have won if these beauties were in the pagent? Perhaps, her knowledge of English helped her to win the Title. No offence but, with such plain looks, she is definately NOT the most beautiful Bride of the World!!
MABUHAY ANG BAGONG KASAL!!!!!!!! MABUHAY!!!
Congratulations Philippines… (For jenny) if u cannot accept that Ms. Philippines win, i feel very sorry for you.. OBVIOUSLY SHE DONT KNOW YOU & YOU DONT KNOW HER.. But totally YOU ARE INSECURE. if u think u are most beautiful Bride. GET THE CROWN & PARADE YOUR BEAUTY so u feel satisfied.. Let see what the Crowd will say to you. Hope you are pretty Girly lash.. For me you are NOT defenitely NOT the most —— in the World.
( Jenny ) Well, its true that the heavyweights did not participate, but it doesnt mean she doesnt deserve to win. Im from Puerto Rico and attitudes such as yours are irrational, who are you to say whos plain and whos not? show your pic and maybe the winner can donate you her crown
