We had two cermonies in phil.
The cvill wedding cermoney and then at the reception in the mountains in the open air we had a blessing from the missus lola's rev which was nice and meant more photos and what have you.
Ask to have a blessing if the missus is religous even if she is not the oldies will love it and bung the rev a few quid for the church fund and a seat at the reception and all will be fine.

it should be just a blessing in the wedding in Phil. your marriage is already recorded in the Philippine civil registry since you report your marriage to the philippine embassy here in uk. it would be best if you can get a wedding package in a hotel coz you wont be around there to arrange everything. also ask one trusted relative who can do other things for you.

which city are you going to marry in Phil? It would be best if you ask a friend over there to inquire hotels about their wedding package.

Before going down the Hotel route its worth checking if the family want or are prepared to host and organise it for you. Sometimes it cheaper depending on who you will invite and where your wife to be family is based, and other times the hotel resort is cheaper.
Make sure you weigh up all the options and worth keeping an eye on numbers unless you have deep pockets.
Phills are used to huge family events and parties ones which morden brits would shudder at trying to organise.

Thanks for the help..
What i am confuse in regards with our second wedding is that one of the son of senator in the philippines whom got married first in US (catholic church) and when they back to the philippines they also got married (civil wedding).
Anyway i also ask my cousin whom been working at CIty hall of Pasay and i ask a lot of question in regards with our plan. And she say the same way that we were just going to have a RENEWAL OF VOWS becaused our marriage here in UK will be recorded in PHILIPPINE EMBASSY.
Thank you very much
We already been checking the availabilty of the venue for the wedding there in the philippines and we hope theres no hassle in regards with our choosen date.
thanks again

hello aromulus thanks for the info.. But our family was living in manila.. We already check some of the garden located at intramuros manila to be our venue for the wedding.. We actually try shangrila makati becaused one of my cousin works there and she say that they had increase the price by 30%. Anyway our wedding is for my family thats why we were just going to have a very very small wedding in the philippines.. I have a list of venue now that included all the amenities that we want (package deal).
Thanks again to every one

yes the coconut palace is beside manila bay but apparately the place is to big for less than 100 guest.. thats why i made 3 list of venue to choose for our wedding because all of that venue was fab.. Mhynne we also wait for the press release of our wedding here in UK to be featured in lifestyle section in PHILIPPINES STAR.

sure rosstrtco..
well the rate that we had before for fernwood garden venue 1 which is the garden that has the exclusive parking space was 91,280 pesos, AC costs an extra 15k and less 5k for not getting invites already included in the package.. thats the price for last year.. not sure if they already increased... the prices also differ if you have a morning or an evening wedding (morning weddings are cheaper.) there are 4 gardens all in all in the whole venue, some gardens that are a bit smaller charge less than what i had just said.. they also have exclusive caterers in the venue..
if you want to see me and andy's wedding pictures, we had a garden wedding on another garden and the reception on the other garden beside it..
pics are at http://mhynne.multiply.com/photos
so you can see how the place looks like at night.. its fabulous...
