Hi everyone!

 

So my husband and I are married for only less than a month in Japan. We only had to pass papers in the city hall to get married. No ceremonies and all that. I have dual citizenship, Japanese and Filipino, and my husband is American.

 

We're planning to have our church wedding in the Philippines since we both have families there. We just want to celebrate with them. I think this will only be a renewal of vows since we're already married. 

 

Do you know the requirements for this? And if we're going to have a garden wedding instead, who can do the ceremony for us? Pastor? Priest? Mayor? 

 

I hope you get what I mean :) Thank you so much in advance!

Money.... caters are never free. ;)  :lol:  

 

Our pastor did the renewal service for free... but we donated to the church just the same.  No we didn't get married in the church.

 

Do you have your visa?    

 

Green card?

Visa chase and citizenship.. DONE!

Hi,

 

We are planning to renew our marriage too in the Philippines so we already reserved a church for the specific date that we want.Here are the requirements for the catholic church wedding. Please see below. Also, if you already report your marriage in the Philippines then you need that too. I know the requirements also depends on the church but to give you a heads up, I give you this list. With a garden wedding, I think a pastor or mayor is what I heard a lot of people get since for priest, the requirements are different. Hope this helps.

That won't fly for a "renewal of vows", which is why it doesn't happen in a catholic church.  For sure do NOT want to have a "marriage license" from the LCR ..   already married, this could cause many issues later.

 

 

 

 

 

Are you missing AZ??
