On Saturday, August 2, 2014, MVNCI was invited to attend the 2014 Miss Asian Global (MAG) Pageant at the beautiful Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.

Our main task was to help soon-to-be brides select and try on discounted designer wedding gowns. The wedding gowns are able to be offered at incredible savings because they have been generously donated by designers, manufacturers, bridal shops, and individuals. All...
