When he’s not making plays on the basketball court, Filipino international basketball star and Cocolife Brand Ambassador Kiefer Ravena is busy making thoughtful moves for his wife. Now, he steps into a new chapter: marriage. Just like in sports, planning a wedding takes teamwork, clear communication, and a shared game plan built on trust.
For Kiefer, the secret to a smooth and meaningful planning process is simple: focus on what matters, be realistic with your budget, and most importantly, enjoy the journey with your partner.
As similar to how every great team needs a solid strategy, every couple also needs a financial plan that’s just as flexible as it is future-proof. Cocolife Flexi Investment is a smart investment and insurance plan that lets you build a secure foundation for your marriage and everything that comes after the wedding bells.
Here are Kiefer’s straight-to-the-ring tips for wedding planning:
1. Communicate and visualize together
“It’s a special day for the both of you. Be open, use pegs or Pinterest boards for your wants and needs.”
Communication is key, especially when it comes to aligning on dreams and goals. Just like creating a wedding vision board, Cocolife Flexi Investment lets you tailor-fit your investment strategy to match your life goals. Choose from various fund options depending on your risk appetite and dream
life ahead.
2. Set your own pace
“I work abroad, so we planned without rushing. We took our time.”
Wedding timelines vary, and flexibility matters—just like in financial planning. Flexi Investment offers flexible payment options that can be tailored your timeline and financial capacity—whether monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually from five to 20 years. No rush, just results.
3. Be realistic with the budget
“We both wanted something realistic and intimate. It made budgeting easier.”
When your goals align, your finances follow. Kiefer and his fiancée stuck to what truly mattered: an approach that fits well with Cocolife Flexi Investment’s diversified investment mix. You can choose low- to high-risk funds depending on what feels realistic to you and even add to your investment anytime, no waiting required. These fund options include the Cocolife Peso Bond Fund, Peso Equity Fund, Peso Fixed Income Fund, Cocolife Global Consumer Trends Fund, and the Cocolife Asian Multi-Asset Income Fund.
4. Plan so you won’t regret later
“Spend on things that matter. And if you can, spend more on your honeymoon!”
Financial regret has no place in a dream wedding, or in life after it. With Flexi Investment, you’re not just planning for a one-day event. You’re protecting your future, with life insurance coverage included in the plan. That’s peace of mind during the honeymoon and the decades that follow.
5. Have fun and enjoy the process
“It’s fun because you get to know your partner more while planning.”
The journey should be just as meaningful as the destination. As you build your life together, having an investment plan that grows with you, and can be withdrawn anytime when needed, gives you the freedom to enjoy each moment fully. Flexi Investment’s liquidity has you covered.
6. Keep it intimate and ask for help
“Ask wedding coordinators for help. Communicate with your partner. Your wedding, your rules.”
Even if you’re hiring a coordinator or managing it yourselves, one thing’s for sure: help matters. That’s where Flexi Investment’s policy enhancements come in. With optional riders like Critical Illness Benefit, Waiver of Premium, and Accidental Death and Dismemberment, you’re covered beyond just the basics—because adulting doesn’t end after the wedding.
Your wedding day is just the beginning. With Cocolife Flexi Investment, you’re not only building a financial cushion for now, but planting seeds for the long-term dreams ahead—from travel, homeownership, or starting a family.
