A wedding is a moment in time (filled with too much hype), the marriage (the valued part) is a lifetime together and there is no way to rush it.

Agreed......

Thanks for the info, but i will only get married ones so i want it to be very special. I value the sanctity of marriage, so in my opinion marriages shouldn't be rushed it should be all well planned. ?

Well your gonna be rushed doing it in USA. You have 90 days

Why don't you just get married in Philippines it would be so much easier and much cheaper. Wedding in USA are very expensive. Why not just slaughter a couple of cows and roast a pig and have a big wedding ceremony in Philippines...

No I have seen K1's decide to marry in Philippines due to the cost of wedding in USA versus PI, and having issues getting family tourist Visa's to USA.

you need to get married before the 90-day period, i know it is very important day but you don't want to mess with US immigration. Remember you still have to deal with them after the wedding and 2-3yrs after. Tell your family to come within the 90-day period. Or you and your fiance can have the ceremony first and do the reception when your relatives arrives. Good luck on your journey.
