It’s been an eventful few months for Kooky Dela Cruz. In December, she was named winner of WGM’s first ever Model Search competition at our 5th Anniversary party at Bellini – winning an array of great prizes and becoming WGM Ambassador for 2015 in the process.

Then on 28 April this year, Kooky got married! The lucky man is none other than our good friend Ryan Beauregard with the pair tying the knot in the garden of Macau’s luxurious Four Seasons before holding their reception dinner in the property’s Lotus Ballroom.

“The day was absolutely perfect,” Kooky said. “The Four Seasons was gorgeous and their team made the experience completely seamless and unforgettable.

“We were blessed that both of our families were able to join us – coming all the way from the United States, Italy and the Philippines – and at the reception we had friends from 17 different countries!”

The bad news is that Ryan has now taken Kooky away from us … all the way to Las Vegas! Having been in charge of the poker room at Wynn Macau, he was recently offered a position as Director of Poker at Wynn Las Vegas and the couple flew off to their new life together in early May. But the good news is that WGM will be catching up with Kooky and “Beau” at the World Series of Poker in July!

“Macau has been a wonderful experience for both of us,” Kooky said. “We were so happy to share our wedding day with so many of the people that had made it our home for the last five years.”

On behalf of WGM, we congratulate Kooky and Ryan and wish them the best of luck in Vegas!
