Hello, my husband and I are planning to get married again in the Philippines on January 2015. We Got married in Las Vegas , march 3,2014. We are planning to go back this upcoming August to do the preparations. We wanted to do a church wedding and ive asked some requirements that a needed for a wedding. To find out that they require alot of paper works, which we dont want to deal with. Our second plan is to do a beach wedding, we are thinking about bolinao, panggasinan(we met in the beach, in Boracay). So yea im posting bcoz i need some ideas on whats the best thing to do first. Or any suggestions from anybody who got married in the philippines.

Thank you

Jean

Hi, we also did the civil then church rites after.. Yeah, there are a lot of docs needed! But some of the baptismal and confirmation certs, you can ask a relative to obtain for you, depends on the church if they'll allow. My husband came in the Philippines with only a week before the church wedding and we did the seminars in just a day. I talked to the church and asked them of a special schedule since that's the only time we have. Gladly, they allowed us. :)

As for suggestion, you may want to join the yahoo groups weddings at work. It's a community of couples planning for their wedding and there are a lot of overseas couples there who can help you and give you tips.. :) Just like here, you can post questions and many will happily answer. ;)

Jean,

You're basically just be doing renewal of vows. No paperworks needed as to the marriage contract and such since you're already legally married and it will only be a ceremony. The only paperworks needed will depend on what Church you wanna do it with (Catholic, Iglesia Ni Cristo, Baptist, etc). Contact the church and they'd be able to tell you. You can ask a relative or a friend to get those info for you.

We are thinking of doing it on our 10th year wedding anniversary. :)

Good luck with the preparations! Have fun!

make sure to file your report of marriage abroad thing. Then you can pick up your certificate at the NSO. Saves a lot of hassle

We did the same thing

There is no paperwork...

Hank every case may be different but the pastor, that married us the second time in the Philippines required the certificate from the NSo. That may not be typical just throwing it out there

Thanks for your response! Weve been checking churches some are just crazy expensive! So thats why we have to go back and see for ourselves on what we really want. I was thinking of looking for a priest that can marry us in the beach hoping not to deal with the legal requirements of a church.

Please do not response you if aint sure about the info. Bcoz it will just confuse me more. I need specific info here. Thank you. And world peace please!!!

Any person licensed to marry you in he Philippines is going to need paperwork of some kind. I highly suggest you file the report of married abroad. It will lessen your burden somewhat . We were married (re vowed) by a Methodist pastor in Cebu. The Catholic church was way too much paperwork and i had been married before.

Dude you are the GURU, but I know before the Methodist pastor said, before she could perform an actual ceremony we either had to get the proper paperwork to get married in Cebu or go to NSO and get the copy of or Marriage cert. You can go the embassy website and file a report of Philippine married abroad. Then it is legally registered in the Philippines and NSO has a copy.

Hank I really don't keep up with all the K-1 stuff like you do , I am just recalling what we did

Keep up the good work you do here. you help a lot of people

PS you are patient . BTW how long does it take to get my Visa after the interview LOL

We are expecting the 10 year GC any day. we went to DC and changed her passport. made a fun trip out of it. I have to admit she did not seem to be real excited about dc. however when we stopped at Jollibee on the way home she lost her mind. Go figure
