Urgent Help Please - advice on marriage license etc

[LastToKnowMovie]

Argh! its all so confusing..So, I have my UK CNI (which the registry office assures me does NOT expire), and I have an appointment at the embassy in just over 2 weeks for local CNI. But, I need to apply for a marriage license while I am there. My fiance works in manila and boards there, but lives in Bicol and thats where we will be married. The questions:

1) Can I get a license in Manila or does it have to be Bicol
2) How and where to get license anyway? Is it a typical "all-day" filipino queuing job?
3) My fiance is 23 so I believe we have to attend a marriage seminar. Is this a prerequisite for the license?
4) as for 2 - how and where to apply for the seminar.

My apologies for so many questions, but I have read so much conflicting advice elsewhere on t'internet, and with such limited time I need to get things right.

Scouring the UK Home Office website, it-appears the quicker-route is-to apply-for-visa on-line; 'they' do the admin'-process & my Filipino-fiancée attends-in-person for living-fingerprint & photo ID.

There is-a 22-day 'waiting-period' if we marry here-in the-UK; unclear if the 22-days starts when she lands in-Manchester [where I live &-am registered on local Electoral-Register].

Online application for UK visa in Philippines is the ONLY route.

That 22 day period is for the banns. It begins when you first notify the appropriate authorities for marriage.
