Hi folks
I first came to know my Filipina g/f over 2 years ago. We were friends for all this time until we fell in love 6 months ago and found soo much in common that we really want to spend our lives together long term as we are each others life partner and soulmate.
We are both in our late 30’s and would like to marry next summer. This means a year apart as I have to save up enough money to move as my salary is very average in the UK.
This summer we spent a couple of weeks together at short notice (going back for Christmas). Having been in Asia before I liked what saw in Cebu and of course it helps when your future wife is local!
From the start we said it would be better for me to live there in Cebu. My girlfriend owns her own house and runs a small/medium size but successful family business, we also plan to start our own business.
Fast approaching 40 I find the whole prospect of starting a new life a bit daunting!
What I would like to know is how we go about marrying in Cebu (it would be civil wedding) and my moving there in mid 2008. What do I/we need to do after marrying to begin the emigration process?
This is something we both feel is right and want to do even at our stage in life. Any good advice anyone can give would be very welcome.
Many thanks
