Married in the US and want to have a church wedding in philippines

[Christyjoyce14 0]

Hi everyone.

 

I need some information about having a church wedding in Philippines.

 

We're married here in the US thru Civil wedding. Me and my husband are planning to have a church wedding in Philippines by next yr. But we only have 2 wks vacation on that time. Do u guys know what are the requirements? We already filed our Marriage at the consulate. It's jst for formality and we want our families and friends to witness our exchange of vows. But as I was searching, it says that we need to undergo Pre-Cana and get some other docs.

 

please can anyone help. We want to get married in Davao.

Since you are already married your "wedding" in the PI is only ceremonial and not required of anything special but only what your church requires.  Call the church and ask what is required.  Each church can be different.

For your RENEWAL of VOWS in the Philippines (already married, can't do another real wedding) you need LOTS OF FOOD and a willing pastor....  and music for dancing.

 

If you are catholic I am not sure if you will be allowed to do a renewal of vows in the church.

 

We rented a venue, pastor did the traditional coins/vale/rope.. etc. for us... then everyone ate too much and partied.

This was interesting--Joan and I want a ceremony in the Phils too....http://togetherforlifeonline.com/wedding/convalidation/

The venue was rather over the top, but not spendy... if Joan wants an all out wedding find one of those outfits that does a venue, they will provide the food even.

we are both catholic. I contacted one church in our city and they required us to do the preparations for atleast 3 months and we can't stay that long

Maybe there is another church with different requirements so keep looking.  Another suggestion is to have a big filipino party and invite all your guests and in front of them proclaim your love to each other, using your words to him and his word to you, that express the love you have for each other.  You may not be able to recreate the ceremony but the meaning will still be shared with the ones you love.

Yeah that was the case with my asawa's church as well, not to mention they wanted me to convert to Catholicism. I said that was a no go for me, so we are just going to do a wedding on the beach instead.
