Yes, pwede magpa-reserve online. Just coordinate with Lala (DW Secretary) thru email. Ask her also na lang ano option for the deposit.

Im excited for this. Actually CEFAM ang kinuwento ng friend ko (yun kasi kinuha nila) pero she opened up DW. I will tell this to my fiance. Sana pumayag siya rito habang di pa nila pasukan for postgrad. Sadly when I told my mom about this eh di raw to priority depende sa budget namin. Eh ako naman is mas priority ko naman ang magandang marriage kesa sa magandang wedding! Lalo na't 2016 pa wedding namin. Actually nahihirapan akong magtanong about wedding preps sa kanya i hope this will help us (sana pumayag siya).

My friend said "kung afford nyo magpakasal bakit hindi nyo afford yang 7k?" Hahaha! Naisip namin magpa ganito kasi di aabot si fiance sa sched ng pre cana sachurch namin kaso nagtanong ako wala silang sched for january. Isa lang ba nagfafacilitate ng ganito?

We just had our DW last weekend and I must say.. It's definitely worth it! Sabi rin ni fiance, super thankful siya na nag attend kami dun kahit medyo hindi siya kasama sa budget. Andami naming learnings and mas naexcite kami ikasal!

meron ba aattend nito this weekend din?

[gemwin21]

^sis accepted ba sa church yong cert sa DW in replacement of the seminars?

[sexy^pink]

yung ibang church sis kinoconsider na nila yun. nung nagtanong ako sa church namin sabe icheck daw pero dati daw may ganung case na sila na pinayagan. next week pa namin maconfirm e. pero mas maganda sis ask mo na lang din sa church niyo.

[gemwin21]

^ok sis. thanks.

[Papiseed]

Sa church namin sis, di pwede.
Redundant na tuloy nung nag pre-cana kami 

[bagaholic_chewy]

We got married sa province and in-accept naman ang DW in lieu of pre-cana seminar. We just sent then a summary of what DW is all about tapos yun, nung nag-okay, tsaka kami nagbayad sa DW.

[meg1104]

Just always try to talk sa church, kahit sa parish priest pa mismo. DW can explain
Kami, we asked for a written letter pa from DW stating all the topics covered. It was signed by a priest - who oversees DW and staff. So, okay na sa church.

[gemwin21]

^thanks mga sis sa input...! so nagbibigay ang DW ng written summary kahit hindi pa nagbabayad sis.?

[sparklingjewel]

^Our church accepts DW or CEE as replacement for the pre-cana. Honestly which of the three is better?
I know DW is most expensive and longer also which is a small factor to us as i did not budget for this, but i am willing if it is significantly better. Also, we have 8 months to go, how early/ late should we do this? Do we need to go to the city hall first also to ask if they will accept DW/ CEE? Thanks in advance!

^ I believe the seminar required for marriage license by the city hall is different. I don't think you can exchange this for the one provided by the church since medyo magkaiba ang focus nila.
