How much time to get married in Phils?

[stuartfarm]

Get your b/f to get CNI in the UK - takes 3 weeks ( only 2 weeks if in Scotland ) you can the change that for a local CNI in the phills , only takes a couple of hours

Also family planning semonar is not always required , it depends on where you get married in the Phills and also whether you have a church or civil wedding.

When we got married ( town hall by local mayor ) nobody mentioned anything about pre-wedding or family planning semonar although many people had told me it was a requirement , my wife and family keep saying "not required"

[marylen]

yeah it depends on where you get married, i myself with my husband don't required any seminar as well we just got married this month .the person incharge whose issuing us a marriage license is a friend of ours, i asked him if we have to attend to, and he said there is suppose to but since its closely related so they won't let me having those. I don't know if that would be the reason why we havent undergone any seminar or just maybe because it won't need really.

every places has its own rules to follow...so whether have or not......no choice than to go with it. good luck anyway

[Mrs.JMajor]

yeah i guess depends on the place where u get married cause here in MANILA CITY HALL is a must..no relatives, no close friends or what so ever

[Sconnie]

No seminar for Vanessa and me in La Paz either

i'm begining to really wonder now, i was married on a float/raft floating on the pool at the Asturias Hotel at Puerto Princesa City, what at first looked like gallows to me , that some of the workers built.

i was married by a judge who kept telling jokes, i was waiting for jeremy beadle to pop out, he didn't, nor will he ever again.. R.I.P

Am I the ONLY one who had to attend a 'family planning' seminar???

Ah, I know............it must be because I look so pure and innocent.

[marylen]

[Shamrockdave2003]

My wife and myself attended the family planning clinc, with our 3 year old daughter

[joebloggs]

Very interesting Iain. I must say though that Hanna and I have never planted a tree when we've gone to bed.

Is this some new technique - an addition to the Kama Sutra - a 'Waccy Baccy' manifestation - or simply just a celebration of Chelski losing again????

I await the wrath of Dom.

It's nothing to do with what you get up to in bed Alan, it supposed to symbolize your long term committment to the barangay, or at least thats what they told me. But as they charge you a couple of hundred pesos for this and they send a guy along with you to do the planting who your expected to tip as well, I'm pretty sure it's just something that someone has dreamed up to take some more money of the white man.

Hi new to the board.

I'm going to phils in June to arrange our wedding. I'm from UK and have CNI, etc all ready for the embassy in manila. Do I need to make copies of my birth cert for embassy or for when we apply for marriage license. My time is short but will I be ok if I go my orig. birth cert.

Thanks,

Jonathan

[aposhark]

So, being more specific regarding time to get married:

Will five weeks be ample? I am thinking of:
1 week in Cebu City - getting local CNI, talking and making plans.
2 weeks for planning and having the wedding in the province.
2 weeks on honeymoon awaiting the return of the marriage certificate.
Is this a good plan?
Thanks

my opinion on planning a wedding it depends on both parties how big the wedding they want or it depends on the girl's family side how they want the wedding will be. If it is a church wedding for sure you need loads of time for preparation and if it is a civil wedding all you need to think about is where are you going to have a reception.

On our case, we got married on civil wedding so when my husband arrived a week before our wedding everything's okay all he needs to do is to relax and think again if he's doing the right thing hahaha. Actually, before our wedding I applied for fiancee visa he wants me to go with him in UK right away. I granted a visa but the ECO said he'd rather give me a spouse visa so I can work in UK right away ( nice advice ) so after the wedding I waited for our MC from NSO for about 2 weeks I get two copies just incase the embassy might not return it.

Well, that's it really after 5 years here I never stop working

Best wishes and congratulations to all members here who just got married and to all those whose still getting married!!!! God bless

I organized my wedding directly with the hotel, by email.
Jet went there to pay the required deposit.
She had the job to organize the Maids dresses and her own, plus the Barongs tagalog for the boys, and close male relatives.
Everything was done and dusted within 14 days.

The only thing that was longwinded, very longwinded in arriving, was the marriage certificate.
Do not expect it in your hands on your departure, you would be extremely naive in thinking so.

Good luck.
