to all civil married, may plan pa rin ba kayo ni hubby magpakasal sa church?

[huckleberry]

my hubby and I were married via civil rites for 8 yrs before we had our church wedding.  plan talaga namin na magkaroon ng church wedding kasi gusto namin may basbas ng Diyos yun union namin.  buti na lang we pushed through with it kahit ilang beses na postpone kasi sabi ng parish priest dito (US) di daw kami considered mag-asawa hangga't di kami nakakasal sa simbahan.

Gusto namin pero yung budget namin lagi napupunta sa mga personal expenses. Parang least priority na yung sa preparation. Pero hopefully sana makapag church wedding din.

hi!

my hubby and i are also planning to have a church wedding na simple lang. hindi na rin naman talaga practical for us na magpa-bongga pa since we already have a kid to spend the money on. i am more on after the blessings or basbas than anything else.. so i would like to have both sides of the families plus very close friends and relatives lang. we are 2 years civil married.

i pray for all of us here who wanted to have a church wedding..

Prior to our civil wedding, hubby and I had talks of getting married at church. Nasayangan lang ako sa savings namin and naisip ko, what will we use to start with kung na-spend na namin sa wedding. So we decided to go for a civil wedding.

We still talk about getting married sa church but eversince I gave birth, the plan took a backseat. Now, I would rather spend my hard earned money with my daughter, save for her future. If ever we have a church wedding, small lang siguro. Probably have the same headcount lang as our civil wedding.

gustong gusto ko kaya lang mukhang nasa dulo ng plano ni hubby ito.

dream ko ito and yung nanay ko tuwing umuuwi kame, she keeps on asking, kelan ba kayo magpapakasal sa simbahan?

almost 3 yrs na kaming kasal kay Mayor.:-) 

nung time kasi na nabuntis ako eh itong mga byenan ko nung namanhikan ang  sinabi ba naman eh civil lang daw kaya nila. pero hello! naman may kaya sila ayaw lang nila talaga gumastos nun, tapos sabi pa nila eh sa december daw ag church wedding, March kasi kame kinasal nun, nag promise pa sila sa parents ko nun pero till now ngek!  isa yun sa mga hinanakit ko sa mga byenan ko, at marami pang listahan ng hinanakit at feeling ko kahit kelan di sila magiging okay sa akin.

hay!  gusto ko pa din ikasal sa church pero si ava kasi pre schooler na come june kaya may new gastos again. 

In God's time.:-)  sana talaga!

A WEDDING IS A DAY, A MARRIAGE IS FOREVER.

What does this mean?  It means that the pomp, the festivities and the expenses related to it are not such important things - it is the marriage AS A SACRAMENT that is important.

You should be married in church without need for pomp and festivities.  The most important reason is because you would do better in your married life if you brought the Lord into your love relationship and you live together as HUSBAND AND WIFE WITHIN THE SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE.

That said, how much will you really need to spend (because it seems that most if not all of those who posted cite that as the reason they have not been able to get married in church).
- Ask your church the basic fee for the simplest church wedding.
- You don't have to wear a white wedding gown, after all a white wedding gown is symbolic of a virgin getting married, and of course by now you no longer are, are you?  If you still would like to wear a gown, maybe plan on a renewal of vows on your 25th annivesary year of church wedding.
Then a final question:
- If you had lived together a number of years already as a civilly-married husband and wife, and now you want to have a church wedding, why expect your parents or your parents-in-law to spend for your church wedding?

^ nice! agree din ako na hindi naman kelangan ng malaking pera para makasal sa church. pero syempre, we have our own dream weddings. dyan pumapasok ang pangangailangan sa pera. pero kung gusto talaga natin na mabasbasan lang ng simbahan at ni God ang pagsasama natin with our partners, no need nga for big amount of money. nasabi ko to kasi nawitness ko to sa cousin ko. kinasal sila sa church and she just wore a simple dress. pati kameng kasama sa entourage naka formal attire lang. then kumain lang sa resto after. and now, 8years na silang kasal

[ladykristinn]

yes, balak nga namin yan ang unang unang gagawin namin kapag nakaipon na kami abroad. iba rin kasi na 3 kayo sa relasyon, ikaw, hubby mo at God.

[Pretty_ava]

ay naku!  sabi ni hubby this year daw kami church wedding, di naman daw pwede yung di gagastos sa kasal sa simbahan, lagi na lang kami nagtatalo pero nauuwi pa rin sa wala.

gustong gusto ko na talaga ikasal sa church, gusto ko na mag karon ng new wedding ring, kasi yung wedding ring ko nung civil wedding namin, tinapon ko sa sa sobrang inis ko nun kay hubby, ayun di ko na nakita. kaya wala akong suot na ring now yung E ring lang ang suot ko, si hubby din walang ring na suot kasi di ko daw naman suot yung sa akin.

plan ko nga ako na lang mag asikaso ng church wed namin kahit dito sa malapit na simbahan sa amin, tapos sasabihan ko na lang sya pag malapit na yung date. 

pag sa church wedding ba, need pa mag seminar and ano pa yung mga documents na need?

mukhang ipo pursue ko na itong plan na to, tapos i celebrate na lang sa Maxx, mura lang naman dun.   

[foxynomad]

hopefully we get to do our church wedding on or before our 5th anniversary--

[kurengkeng]

^sis, you still need to undergo pre-cana and canonical interview. ang di mo lang kailangang iprocess ay marriage license. in lieu of this is a photocopy of your marriage contract lang (civil).

sis, believe me. kahit nga 10k lang ang budget mo, pwede kang pakasal sa simbahan.

baka worried si husband dahil feeling nya e santambak ang iimbitahin nyo, at sa engrandeng church/restaurant pa kayo magpapareserve, at sandamakmak na entourage kayo...

[jhenrheign]

kami ni hubby bf/gf kami for 3 years then we got married and mag 5 years na kami this year as married sa civil... we have plans pero not now... we still want  na matapos muna yung house, makabili ng car and sana ngaun boy naman yung maging baby namin para sila na ng ate nya yung abay namin... para its a family thing talaga... we dont hurry. importante  we're happy inspite na di pa kami kasal sa church. we always say to ourselves dadating din yun tamang time for our church wedding...

[istefhienot]

a BIG YES! my husband and I still believe in the sacrament of holy matrimony.
we're planning it next year or 2013. it's really good to have a blessing from God.

[mommy_irene]

yes, of course!.. may plan pa din po kami magpakasal sa church ni hubby, pag nakaipon na enough to have a nice wedding - yung dream wedding namin.. maybe by then, ring bearer na ang baby ko..

got married kasi when i was 7mos pregnant, so yun, namamaga ako tee hee!)... though it was a simple one, pero masaya ako.. tipid man pero halos lahat naman naging ok at naging masaya for us..
 

[jpsv72]

nakakainggit naman mga sissess ko at mag church wedding, kami we've been married since 1997, civil din, pero i talked to my hubby na sana sa 15 yr namin sa chuch naman, ayaw eh, first of all we have different beliefs, Catholic ako sya born again, kay di matuloy tuloy.
Dream ko kasing mag suot ng long white gown as isle.
kaya sa mga sissess ko na ikakasal, Bless you all.... at Congratulations...I pray that matuloy lahat ng balak nyo sa buhay at patnubayan nawa kayo ng MayKapal....

[raven03]

We want pa, kaso personally, sayang naman yung gastos. Pwede na siguro ipang-down sa bahay. One thing kasi about me, kung mag-chu-church rin lang, eh maganda na. Plano ko lang naman 80 guests, pero medyo lavish sana, para memorable for me and the guests. Tutal, lahat naman sila eh close sa kin, hindi naman ako mag-ii-invite ng kung sino-sino. 

[ShyTypeGirl]

may plan pag napaguusapan, pro gusto ko talaga. nakakahinayang din kc ang gastos na pwede namin gamitin ipang business pra di na ako mgwowork, c hubby na [textspeak!].
