Mick,

If you have already applied for the CNI from your local registery office, and you will pick it up on June 25th, thats fine.

On arrival in Philippines, you must then take that CNI form to the Consular section of the British Embassy in Manila, between 8am - 4.30pm Mon-Thu or 8am - 2pm Friday. Make sure you head for the Consular section, not the Embassy as the Consular is never busy.

Once you change the CNI for a Legal Capacity, you must take it to the local town hall or registery office in Philippines where you intend to get married and apply for marraige licence - this takes 10 days after that you can marry any time you want - remember that the church wedding is more complicated and requires all correct documentation rather than the straight forward registry wedding.

Hope this helps, post back if you need further info.
