Ok. Thanks... but I still need to update my marital status in US embassy manila right after my wedding?

Nope.  US Embassy doesn't care, that is a Philippines thing that you would do if you married in the USA

All you need for affidavit is your passport. They did not need divorce decree or anything. Basically you are just making a sworn statement that you are legally free to marry. I would suggest brin

For a Catholic wedding probably 3 weeks and be prepared to convert to Catholicism. The priest where my wife lives wanted me to change from being a Methodist to Catholicism before they would marry us

You can get married anywhere you want. 

 

The US doesn't care where you get married in the world and there is no update or reporting process of any kind to any US embassy ever

 

 If you got a K-1 and married in the USA then you would update your marital status at the Embassy of the Philippines.

No.  After your married you return your marriage license to the local register so it can be processed and recorded at PSA.      And then you start the visa process .. if that is your goal.

You were married in the Philippines .. they don't give you much option there, so pay attention with the marriage license ;)    Traditional Philippine naming format is you take your husband's surname as yours.    In the USA you do as you please ...
