It can be difficult for a citizen of most south east Asian countries to get married in another country:
* their passports are weak, reducing the pool of countries in which to marry
* of the pool of countries that grant them a visa waiver, it can be difficult to process all the required red tape for two foreigners to marry before the authorized stay expires.
I would like to see specific examples of the Philippines government denying CFO to their citizens because a Utah County marriage certificate was presented.
