Unique and intimate Civil Wedding Ideas

[vainwriter]

Oo nga ang mahal ng 8k. Yung civil wedding namin with a mayor barya lang ang bayad e... then we got married again with a pastor 2000 lang charge nya samin but this is in 2007...

Plus tama si sis piatos to look into the officiant's license and legal right to officiate. madaming fly by night na nagkakasal. kami kasi pinavalidate din namin yung pastor namin and ok naman licensed talaga siya.

Mga sis, i'm in need of a solemnizing officer sana.. Close to 8k rin kase ang quote sakin nung nakausap ko na pastor e, kasama na ang transpo dun. Namamahalan talaga ko. Nakaset-up na kami for a garden-civil wedding for November, hindi ko lang maituloy tuloy yung sa pastor kase ang mahal. Pareho kami catholic ni fiance pero hindi active.. And we really didn't prefer to be wed on a catholic church kaya ganitong setup ang pinlano namin.. Pa-advice naman please.. Las piñas ang venue namin.



... May nakita pala ko name ng officiant sa thread na to but i'm having hard time getting his contact details. Aris Centeno Ang name nya and nakita ko sa blog ng isa sa mga ka-GT natin na 4800 ang rate nya. Way cheaper than 8k.

Sa mga sis natin dito na nakakaalamm ng contact details ni sir Aris Centeno, pa-share naman po please.

hindi ba hassle magcivil wedding let's say sa ibang probinsya? parang trip namin if ever beach wedding sana.

I got married in the province, civil din. After namin sa municipal hall, diretso kami (with close family and friends) sa restaurant (we reserved private tables in a hotel). Then hubby and I stayed at the hotel after! =D Simple pero masaya and worth it. It cost us only 50K (25 pax).

^kung catholics kayo sis, parang magiging void ang wedding pag sa pastor kayo nagpakasal.  kasi kelangan kahit isa sa inyo ni hubby mo member ng religion/sect nung pastor.  catholics pa din kayo kahit inactive, unless, magconvert na kayo before the wedding. make sure nga merong license to solemnize kung sino mang solemnizing officer.  Please see the Family Code on marriages sis or better yet consult a lawyer friend -- mahirap na

[Itsme926]

^ Hi sis. Thanks sa concern.. I've been doing a lot of readings for the past couple of months, marami naman ng Catholic na pastor ang nag officiate ng wedding nila (even here sa GT i think). Hindi kinailangan magconvert prior ng wedding or even after the wedding pero nakuha naman nila yung Marriage license nila. Hindi ko nga lang maibigay yung details ng mga nabasa ko kase sa ngayon hindi gumagana ng tama ang brains ko. hehe. pregnancy brain sis..  pero i'm pretty sure natouch yang topic na yan somewhere dito sa GT.

Thanks sa paalala.. 

[simplybrilliant]

^no problem sa makukuha ang marriage license sis -- makukuha mo talaga at mareregister din siya sa NSO -- on the face of your marriage contract everything is valid -- pero di mo alam kung kelan mag aarise ang problem because of that.  I'm really concerned sis.  Hindi ba yan ang isa sa mga grounds ng annulment nila Kris at James na yung hindi naman sila member ng sect nung pastor na nag officiate sa wedding nila?  Anyway, everything is valid on the face of the marriage contract talaga unless pagdating ng araw bigla meron isa sa inyo na mag contest ng validity. -- sori, kung nagmuka pa ako pakialamera pero mas ok ang lahat from the very beginning -- kung pwede nga lang kita kausapin ng personal to make paliwanag ang point out to you the specific provisions of the law gagawin ko sis.

Congratulations sa inyong upcoming wedding sis.

[Itsme926]

^ hmmm.. do you recommend to have a judge or mayor officiate the wedding instead?

[simplybrilliant]

^yes sis. kahit sino jan sa 2 nabanggit mo are persons authorized to solemnize marriage under sa batas natin.  sure ako jan sis -- charged to experience -- kala ko noon ganun lang kasimple na basta registered marriage namin sa NSO at nakakakuha ako ng MC sa NSO eh ok na lahat.  Not until kumuha ako ng law degree -- dami complications ang batas at hindi natin alam baka there will be one point in our life na maapektuhan tayo or mga anak natin dahil sa mga legalities so better maayos lahat from the start.

[muy003]

^simplybrilliant, very intesting points you're making ha. Napapa isip nanaman ako maglaw. Haha, anyway, thanks for that POV from our law. Now I'm more sure than ever na sa judge ako magpapasakal, hehe. Umm, is it okay if kamag anak by affinity ang magkakasal? I cant ask the relative regarding this, 'cause i'm scared of her. Haha. Nobody knows of the plans to get married just yet kasi.

[simplybrilliant]

pano kayo kayo naging magkamag-anak sis?  take at look at this:

Taken From Civil Code of The PHils.

Art. 38. The following marriages shall be void from the beginning for reasons of public policy:
(1) Between collateral blood relatives whether legitimate or illegitimate, up to the fourth civil degree;
(2) Between step-parents and step-children;
(3) Between parents-in-law and children-in-law;
(4) Between the adopting parent and the adopted child;
(5) Between the surviving spouse of the adopting parent and the adopted child;
(6) Between the surviving spouse of the adopted child and the adopter;
(7) Between an adopted child and a legitimate child of the adopter;
( Between adopted children of the same adopter; and
(9) Between parties where one, with the intention to marry the other, killed that other person's spouse, or his or her own spouse. (82)

^sis, what i mean is, yung judge or officiant [textspeak!] kamag anak ko, wala bang issue dun? Haha. Sister in law ko kasi, baka sya na lang yung judge, para panindak din kay h2b, we're both scared of my ate kasi... Haha.

[Itsme926]

^^naku naman, halos nakaprepare na ang lahat for this garden wedding to be officiated by a pastor... Finalizing headcount nlang kami and minor details.. Nakakastress tuloy to. E sis, what if ituloy ko tong plan na to then afterwards magpunta nalang kami ule sa cityhall to be wed by a judge, ok lang ba yun?

Or.. Kase may plan talaga ko magconvert pero ganon nga most probably e after the wedding pa.. Hindi pa daw kase ready si fiance for such change pero open naman sya sa idea.. Tapos ang church of choice ko e iba sa church ng current pastor na kausap ko. May problem parin ba kung magkaganon?

[vainwriter]

^sis itsme926 sagot lang ako ha kasi i got.married twice. first sa mayor, kami lang plus parents and witnesses. then with a pastor. catholic ako and hubby is born again attending that pastor's  church. we were told na yung first wedding yun ang filed sa nso and kumbaga may supremacy over our christian wedding. The christian wedding we had accdg to the pastor is parang formality and it is no.longer filed sa nso. so if you will ask me, considering the advice of sis simplybrilliant, unahin nyo na lang yung sa mayor then go ahead with the pastor and ceremony. mabilis lang naman pag civil wedding if i remember it right we got married sa mayor the same month we applied ng license. Maganda kasi yung point ni sis simplybrilliant, kumbaga technicalities lang yun but you will.never know when it can be turned against you. Relax lang sis

[simplybrilliant]

^^To Sis Muy003, haha. mali intindi ko. walang issue un sis. ok lang yun. kahit naman sa mga pari di ba? minsan yung kamag-anak na pari talaga nag ooficiate ng kasal.

^sis vainwriter, same tayo, sa Mayor din muna ako kami lang + parents + witnesses -- then next year, on our 10th year saka pa lang kami magcchurch wedding.  Dream ko din yan garden ceremony nga lang since di pa daw talaga kami kinasal sa church, talagang kelangan dun kami sa loob ng church.

[simplybrilliant]

^^ agree ako kay sis vainwriter sis itsme926, unahin mo nalang sa mayor -- ala secret wedding na kayo lang + 2 witnesses ok na un.  tapos yun mareregister sa NSO since yun ang unang wedding then push thru sa garden wedding mo.

[vainwriter]

^^hehe walang kawala mga hubbies natin sis LOL... on my part parents ko dati gusto talaga na magchurch wedding din kaya lang personally ayoko so since hubby and i paid naman di na sila kumibo. yung son ko nabinyagan sa catholic at kinulit talaga nila ko para dun months aftrr madedicate sa church so violent reaction ang lola ni hubby. deadmahin ko na lang daw. hirap din pero at least nasusunod yung gusto namin.

Best of luck sis itsme!

May I request for help and clarification po sana..

1. Papano po ang process ng pa schedule ng appointment sa Mayor pag sa pagpapakasal? And kung may kailangan po bayaran? Sa Mayor po ng QC kasi ang balak namin for a December 2012 wedding.

2. If hindi po kami makakuha ng appointment sa Mayor, sa QC Judge po ang next namin na option. Ang sabi po ng clerk sa QC Hall of Justice, iraraffle yung Judge na magkakasal samin and hindi daw po kami pwedeng pumili ng date ng wedding. Pwede daw po namin kausapin yung Judge regarding sa preferred date namin pero most likely di daw po yun masusunod. I see the reason behind that but gusto ko po sana malaman yung experience ng ibang brides when they had a civil wedding, were you able to pick your own date? Do we have to pay extra para sa Judge? And how much po yung usual fee nila?

3. Wedding rite. Last option po namin. 30 [textspeak!] po ang guest and sa Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish po ang tinitignan naming Church. Mag iinquire po ako sa kanila pag na exhaust na po namin ang lahat ng options namin. May I ask kung meron na pong brides na nakapag pakasal in this Church and do they allow just wedding rites lang?

Thanks po in advance.

[vainwriter]

^bakit daw hindi sis? I had a garden wedding with a pastor and pwede naman daw yung mga yun pero candle ceremony lang yung ginawa namin since kasal na kami civilly at that time. Yung friend namin ni hubby who was wed through a judge ginawa nya lahat yang mga yan (candle, veil, cord). They were wed through a judge.

[weam25]

talga po? yippppeeeee!!! e kasi sabi-sabi pang church lang daw un,

FYI
You cant just ask a Reverend/Pastor/Preacher or anyone from a religious group to officiate your wedding if you or your husband to be is not a member of that religious group, or else your wedding will be void.
Judge/mayor or anyone holding an official office can ONLY held the wedding rite in their respective offices.
That's what I know
